[nsp] WS-X6148-GE-TX

[Temkin, David]

Nope, I was talking about the 10/100/1000 module... I was curious to know
how it was oversubscribed (ie, is it like the cat4k oversubscribed
10/100/1000 module) where there are groups of 3 or 6 ports together in a
group or is the whole module just entitled to 16Gbps on the backplane?  Etc.
etc.  - I couldn't find *any* documentation on it.

Not crippled; it's just using cheaper, better, faster ASIC's.

Same performance as a 6348 (which is better than a 6248), so go with the
6148 ;>

I hear that it also prevents Pinnacle COIL ASIC error conditions, and if
this is the case, then I *highly* recommend them over the 6348 or 6248
modules.

There is also the recently released WS-X6148-GE-TX which is way
oversubscribed if you plan on having more than 16 Gbps of one-way (inbound
or outbound) traffic (16+ 10/100/1000 running at near-Gbps speeds).  Support
TDR, etc.  I think you are talking about the WS-X6148-RJ-45, which is a very
cheap 10/100-only solution for the Cat6k.
