Hello Thorsten ! 3rd Generation modules ate using FTM1 and DFEs are using FTM2. To connect FTM1 and FTM2 you need a DFE-Proxy modul. Without a Proxy-module you have to connect 3rd gen and DFE via front ports. The management is different in case that DFEs defie a management module which configures all the other modules and 3rd gen modules need to configure each seperately. Also STP, LACP and all other features needs to configure on both worlds !! Proxy modules are 7h4382-25 7h4385-49 7h4383-49 7h4383-49

I just tested this with a 7H4382-49 and a 6H352-25 in an E7 chassis and two pcs each connected to one of the modules could ping each other successfully. I also found out that the two modules don't see each other which means that there are two administration domains where each domain manages only it's own ports. Because of this I'm wondering if there are any configuration guidelines concerning - the backplane connection - layer 2 protocols like stp (rstp) - vlan configuration - ...? Does anybody have experience with dfes and 3rd gen cards in E7 chassis?
