What are the part numbers for the 8 and 16 port gigabit ethernet blades that have the higher speed mesh backplane, for the Cisco 650x series switches?



I need to have all ports on the blade running at full non blocking speed.

Also beware of mismatches between PFCs and DFCs - we've had conflicting reports from within Cisco about what's compatible with what and what the effect is of putting different forwarding cards into the same chassis.
