Feature

Description |
Switch
Fabric Wire Speed Capacity Packet Sizes
|
- 32 Gbps supporting full-duplex
- Non-blocking full wire speed on all
|
Priority
Queues
|
- 8 user-selectable 802.1p priority
queues per port supporting strict priority (algorithms such
as weighted fair queue and round robin supported as well).
Queues are setup using the EmbeddedWeb or CLI or through the
MIB.
- Queues are allocated based on QoS
assignments (including minimum bandwidth, maximum bandwidth
and priority as well as the selection of what of the 8
queues are used. Queue 0 is the default queue. Queue
servicing is effected by the bandwidth percentage and
priority assigned or defaulted to for the traffic group.
Queues can only be monitored through the CLI.
Note: The programmable thresholds of Min/Max
bandwidth per queue may prevent starvation or hogging.

Forwarding
Mode
| Store
and Forward |
64-Byte
System Packet Forwarding Rate
| 47,619,040
pps (16 ports * 1488095 * 2) - The switch is capable of
forwarding at this rate whether performing layer 2 switching or
layer 3 routing. |
Port
Packet Forwarding Rate
|
- 2,976,190 pps (1000Mbps)
- 297,620 pps (100Mbps)
|
MAC
Address Entries Supported
| 32,000
- The switch is capable of 256,000 addresses dynamically shared
between Layer 2 entries and Layer 3 entries. |
MAC
Address Learning Rate
| Minimum
of 3,000 MAC address per second. Switch is capable of learning
6,000 MAC address per second. |
MAC
Address Aging Support
| User
configurable with a minimum of 300 seconds. |
Spanning
Tree Support
|
- Supports the IEEE 802.1d spanning
tree algorithm per switch.
- Supports the IEEE 802.1d spanning
tree algorithm per VLAN level. Interoperable with other
vendors (Cisco, Bay, 3Com) STP per VLAN provided that the
other vendor switch supports duplicate MAC addresses across
VLANs.

Forward/Filter
Ethernet Tagged Packets
|
- Supports the IEEE 802.3ac
specification.
- Supports enabling or disabling the
use of frame tags on a per port basis.
|
Broadcast
Storm Control
| Limits
the amount of broadcast packets on a per port basis. Done by the
assignment of VLANs as well as to assign QoS profiles to
broadcasts to limit broadcast traffic. For example, a QoS
profile can be defined for broadcast traffic that sets a maximum
% of available bandwidth allowed by VLAN. |
Link
Aggregation
|
- The IEEE 802.3ad proposed standard
will be supported when ratified capability
- 2 or more ports - ports can be of
different speeds. Scheme has been tested and interoperates
with other Intel products as well as Cisco's EtherChannel,
etc.
|
Port
Mirroring
|
- Port Mirroring based on a port
capability
- Port Mirroring based on an
individual Virtual Port - Mirror from a specified multi-VLAN
port ONLY a specific VLANs traffic. A trunk port is a good
example. A Trunk port has multiple VLANs traffic, so it is a
"virtual port" for each VLAN. By specifying
virtual port, a single VLAN's traffic can be mirrored to the
mirror port even though the physical port is carrying other
VLANs traffic.
- Port Mirroring based on VLAN - All
traffic within the VLAN will get mirrored regardless of port
or address. All traffic includes broadcast and multicast
traffic. Errored frames are not mirrored (since the switch
drops them at ingress).
- Mirror Port and Source Port does not
have to be the same speed.

Power
LED (1 On supply)
|
- Off - Power Off LED per power
- Solid Green - Power
- Solid Amber - Overheat, Power, or
Fan failure
Note: Unit ships with one power supply.
Must order a different SKU to get two power supplies. Not
field-upgradeable. See below under "Redundant power
supply".
|
Management
LED
|
- Solid Green - Normal Booted
Operation
- Flashing Green (1 Hz) - power-on
self test (POST) complete, software download in progress
- Flashing Green (2 Hz) - POST is in
progress
- Solid Amber - Unit has failed POST
|
Serial
Interface
|
- Male DB-9 RS232 connector
- Default connection is 9600-N-8-1,
Xon/Xoff
- Supports direct serial connection
and a modem connection
|
Redundant
Power Supply
|
- The switch can support one or two
power supplies. When two power supplies are present, they
operate in a load sharing configuration and automatically
switches over if one of the power supplies fails.
- RPS add-on is not field-upgradeable.
