and both LED indication on the switch hardware and SNMP alarms will be enabled.

Market Applications

This family of switches is ideally positioned for those organizations and businesses that operate web based, multimedia and high performance networks including, MTU, Higher Education, Scientific Research, E-Business Enterprise applications (SAP, ERP, CRM, and SCM) in Manufacturing, Retail, and Public Services including Government and Healthcare where control of latency and jitter along with traffic management by user and service type is critical.

Use the IC35160 for aggregating multiple workgroups of 10/100 24/48 port switches (IC3524/48), connecting multiple Gigabit Fiber or copper backbones in the network core or even distributing bandwidth within the data center to servers.

FEATURES

Single-Chip Layer 2 Switch:

Forwarding rate of 24 million packets per second at full wire speed over all network interfaces in a unit

 

32 Gbps switch fabric (per unit) minimizes blocking and latency

 

Runs cooler and more reliably than older, multi-chip designs

Extensible Platform:

Choose from 2 popular Gigabit configurations with auto-selectable switching

 

- 12 ports 10/100/1000BaseT and 4 dual function ports of GBIC/1000BaseT

 

- 12 ports GBIC and 4 dual function ports of GBIC/1000BaseT

 

Run multi-mode or singlemode fiber 1000 Mbps (1000BaseSX/LX/LH/LZ) using GBIC transceivers

 

Run standard Category 5E UTP copper cables up to 100 meters at 1000 Mbps (1000BaseT)

Class of Service/Qos

Multiple priority queues ensure mission critical applications get the bandwidth and priority they need. IEEE802.1p: 8

 

queues per port.

 

Chargeable, upgrade firmware available in first half 2003 will enable Packet classification and filtering based on Layer

 

2 packets, Layer 3 protocols and Layer 4 traffic types TCP and UDP also remapping of traffic flows using DiffServ and

 

based on MAC address, VLAN, L2-4.

Multicasting 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.

 

256 multicast groups are supported.

 

Manual population of the multicast table is available, static entries in the multicast table are saved to FLASH.

Virtual LANs:

Logically organize nodes into 1024 port based VLANs compliant with IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN Tagging

 

Overlapping VLANs are ideal for sharing and segmenting traffic and security.

Addresses

Supports 2000 MAC addresses with MAC address ageing management and MAC/IP address table display

Port Mirroring

On ingress only in first release firmware.

Port Security

Station move detection and Duplicate IP address detection with ONE trusted addresses per port.

Spanning Tree

IEEE 802.1D supported

Jumbo Packets

Supports frames, user configurable up to 16384 bytes

Flow Control

IEEE 802.3x supported

Management

 

Graphical User Interface:

WEB type HTML browser-based with password protection for local and remote management

Console Interface:

Menu-driven telnet or out-of-band via front panel console port

Command Line:

Version 2 firmware introduces CLI support for all features

SNMP:

SNMP v1 supported with MIB II, RMON, 802.1Q, 802.1p, Bridge MIB and Asante private MIB
