The following table lists the major features of the IntraCore 8000 switch.

Feature	Description

Media Flexibility	Expansion module options include 8-port 10/100 Base-TX
	switched Ethernet modules and single-port Gigabit Ethernet
	modules with GBIC slots.

High Density	Supports up to 192 10/100 switched Ethernet ports or up to 3
	switched Gigabit Ethernet ports and 24 10/100 switched Ether-
	net ports in a single stacking unit. This saves space in crowded
	equipment rooms.

ASIC-Based Architec-	ASIC-based packet processing provides wire speed perfor-
ture	mance on all interfaces.

High Performance	The system supports current requirements for multi-service
16Gbps Backplane	voice, video, and data applications with bandwidth to spare.
	The high-capacity backplane is designed so that it may be
	scaled up to 80 Gbps, extending the useful life of the chassis.

Multiple Priority	The “application aware” system ensures that mission critical
Queues	applications get the bandwidth and priority they need, even
	under heavy traffic conditions. When network congestion
	occurs, low latency requirements are managed by the system.

Stackable Form Factor	Each stack unit supports three option slots that can be custom-
with modular expan-	ized to meet customer configuration requirements. Unique
sion options	stacking design delivers scalable system bandwidth assuring
	maximum system performance regardless of configuration.

Configuration Flexibil-	Expansion modules can be mixed and matched in any configu-
ity and Growth	ration and quantity to meet design requirements. You can add
	capacity whenever your business requires it.

GBIC Modules for	The two GBIC Gigabit Ethernet modules can be configured
Gigabit Ethernet Media	with any combination of 1000SX, 1000LX or 1000LX (Long
Flexibility	Haul) GBIC interfaces. Either Asanté or third party GBIC inter-
	faces can be used, and the interfaces can be “hot swapped.”
	This means that GBIC interfaces can be re-deployed based on
	the user’s applications.

Installation Options	The system can be rack-mounted to save space.
