Asante Technologies 3548-2GT Series Features And Benefits, Dual-Chip Layer 2 Switch, Virtual LANs

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Dual-Chip Layer 2 Switch:	Forwarding rate of 19 million packets per second at full wire speed over all network interfaces in a unit
	12.8 Gbps switch fabric (per unit) minimizes blocking and latency
	Coupled to embedded PowerPC RISC processor to handle advanced features
	Runs cooler and more reliably than older, multi -chip designs
Extensible Platform:	Choose from 2 popular Gigabit configurations with auto -selectable switching
	Run multi-mode or singlemode fiber 1000 Mbps (1000BaseSX/LX) using GBIC transceivers
	Run standard Category 5 UTP copper cables up to 100 meters at 1000 Mbps (1000BaseT)
Quality of Service:	Multiple priority queues ensure mission critical applications get the bandwidth and priority they need:
	-	4 transmit queues per 10/100 port
	-	8 queues per gigabit port
	-	Priority allocated on a port basis using Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ)
	-	2 packet dropping criteria using Weighted Random Early Detect (WRED)
	Throughput is maintained—even under heavy traffic conditions
Multicast support:	Internet group management protocol (IGMP) optimizes multicast bandwidth by allowing multicast traffic only to
	registered users; minimizes denial of service attacks from unknown sources
Virtual LANs:	Logically organize nodes into 64 VLANs compliant with IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN Tagging
	Overlapping VLANs are ideal for sharing and segmenting traffic and security
Total Cost of Ownership:	Lowest acquisition cost for an enterprise-grade, workgroup switch
	IntraCare: Free technical support and advanced warranty support for 3 years. Includes free telephone support, 24-hour support via
	web and ftp, complete product warranty with 2nd business day (within US) advanced replacement and software maintenance
	agreement.
	AsanteCare: Optional extended technical support and product warranty for additional years.

Graphically monitor your network by using the software tools built into the IntraCore 3548
