Ethernet to FDDI Switching
SuperStack II Switch 2200
The SuperStack II Switch 2200 is a full-featured Ethernet/FDDI switch that employs state-of-the-art RISC and ASIC-based technology for high- end workgroup performance and server/backbone connectivity. The SuperStack II Switch 2200 is the price/performance leader in its class. It provides 16 switched 10BASE-T Ethernet ports and one high-speed FDDI port for server or backbone links. The FDDI port can be config- ured with DAS, allowing you to set up a resilient LAN. Advanced switching features include virtual workgroups for flexible management, user-defined packet filters to control traffic flow, IP fragmentation for optimizing Ethernet/ FDDI transfers, and IEEE 802.1D bridging for optimizing switching in various LAN environments.
Elastic packet buffering guarantees a maximum number of buffers for each port, dynamically allocating additional buffers as needed to alleviate port congestion and minimize dropped

packets during high-traffic periods. Roving Analysis Port (RAP) allows you to monitor traffic on any Ethernet port.
Ethernet-to-ATM Switching
SuperStack II Switch 2700
The SuperStack II Switch 2700 is a
12-port integrated Ethernet workgroup switch with the added advantage of an ATM port for high-speed backbone or server connections. The switch is ideal for workgroups that need increased bandwidth across Ethernet ports
and also require a high-speed ATM downlink to an ATM campus backbone now or in the future. SuperStack II Switch 2700 future proofs your network with built-in ATM link capability, making ATM migration simple and economical. Ethernet switching operates even if the ATM port is not configured, allowing you to implement Ethernet LAN switching now and connect the LAN to an ATM backbone later. You get advanced cell- based switching without having to make changes in existing LAN devices, which protects your current network investment. The ATM port
