Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Asanté IntraCore 35160 Series Gigabit switch. These switches are a family of multi-media and multi-protocol switches capable of supporting Layer 2 Switching and Layer 4 Type of Service. They are designed to offer industry-leading performance at a very competitive cost of ownership.
Note: This manual revision is for use with the IC35160 firmware version 2.0. Earlier firmware versions may not have the same features implemented, and may have different menu layouts. Some features described in this manual may not be available on earlier firmware versions. Visit www.asante.com for the latest firmware.
Each IntraCore 35160 switch is a 16-port solution for Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switching using shared- memory architecture to achieve Gigabit switching on all ports. The highly integrated system includes MAC (Media Access Control), Address Look-up Content Addressable Memory (CAM), Switch Engine, Primary Buffer Memory, and programmable Quality of Service (QoS).
Two models in the 35160 series cover different customer applications.
The IntraCore 35160-T is a 16-port switch that has 12 10/100/ 1000BaseT ports and 4 dual function Gigabit ports that support either 1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.
The IntraCore 35160-G is a 16-port switch that has 12 GBIC style Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 dual function Gigabit ports that support either 1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.
The following types of GBIC modules are supported on the 35160 switches:
•1000SX multi-mode fiber for 500m applications
•1000LX single-mode fiber for 2km applications
•1000LH single-mode fiber for 20km applications
•1000LZ single-mode fiber for ultra distance (120km) applications
•1000BaseT Copper Gigabit for low-cost 100m applications
The system can operate as a stand-alone network or be used in combination with other IntraCore series switches in the backbone.
