IBM 32R1869 Layer 2/3 Switch Module
This IBM 32R1869 module adds Layer 2 and Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switching to compatible Nortel chassis. It is built for network engineers expanding port density in campus or data-centre cores. The unit ships new and weighs 5.1 units with dimensions of 9.5 by 6.5 by 1.
Suits chassis-based upgrades needing routing
Buyers who want more storage or standalone rack-mount switches should look elsewhere. This module fits only supported Nortel platforms and requires a free chassis slot. Teams without that infrastructure cannot use it.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the IBM 32R1869 Nortel Layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module, and what must be purchased separately?
The module itself is supplied new. No cables, mounting brackets, software licences or documentation are listed, so any required patch leads, rack rails or management licences must be sourced separately.
Which version or capacity of the 32R1869 should I choose for my chassis?
Only one part number, 32R1869, is offered. It provides Layer 2/3 Gigabit Ethernet switching in a single module form factor, so select this SKU if it matches your chassis compatibility list.
