Description

SuperStack II Switch 3000

SuperStack II Switch 3000 is a Fast Ethernet

 

switch. It allows Fast Ethernet switching and

 

connectivity form Fast Ethernet to ATM. It

 

can be used as a Backbone switch to

 

connect multiple LS1000 devices, thus

 

creating a FE/Ethernet network. It can be

 

segmented into multiple bridges to allow

 

virtual LAN. The Virtual LAN is both

 

encapsulated based when connected as Fast

 

Ethernet Backbone or LAN Emulation when

 

connected to ATM Backbone.

CoreBuilder 2500

CoreBuilder 2500 is a high end switch. It

 

allows Ethernet, FDDI, Fast Ethernet

 

switching and connectivity form legacy LANs

 

to ATM. It also allows routing to fulfill the

 

function of routing between vLAN as well as

 

IP, IPX and other protocol routing. The FDDI

 

connectivity allows it to be the FDDI

 

backbone edge switch. It can be segmented

 

into multiple bridges to allow virtual LANs.

 

The virtual LAN is LAN Emulation based

 

when connected to the ATM Backbone.

CoreBuilder 5000 Switch Modules

The CoreBuilder 5000 device is a

 

Multifunction hub. It is an Ethernet, FDDI

 

HUB and has the switching capability of

 

ATM, and Ethernet. It also allows

 

connectivity form legacy LAN to ATM. It can

 

be segmented into multiple bridges to allow

 

virtual LANs. The Virtual LAN is LAN

 

Emulation based when connected to ATM

 

Backbone.

CoreBuilder 4000/CoreBuilder

CoreBuilder 4000 is an ATM switch, used in

5000 Switch

an ATM network and serves as an LE

 

services entity as well.

Netbuilder II

NetBuilder II is a high perfromance

 

multi-protocol router for LAN and WAN

 

environments. In the ATM and VLAN

 

environments it can be used as an inter

 

VLAN one-armed router connected to the

 

ATM backbone.
