C.1 Introduction

The IR-ETH/V interface module replaces the IR-ETH/QN interface module.

The IR-ETH/V has improved functionality, however, it should be noted that there are now two priority queues available. IR-ETH/V includes a high performance self-learning Fast Ethernet bridge, which is connected to the LAN via a single 10BaseT or 100BaseT port, operating in full or half duplex and providing simple and cost-effective interconnection between 10/100BaseT LANs. The IR-ETH/V interface module also supports IEEE 802.1p frames and IEEE 802.1q frames, enabling VLAN applications.

The module automatically learns MAC addresses of the LAN to which it is connected. Its LAN table stores up to 2,048 addresses with 5-minute automatic aging. Filtering and forwarding is performed at wire speed.

Figure C-1shows a typical application using RIC-E1 with IR-ETH/V module.
