BENEFITS:

5+1 PORT WEB-MANAGED/

UNMANAGED SMB SWITCH:

5+1 Gigabit Ethernet ports with nonblocking wire-speed performance

5 tri-speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) copper transceivers (IEEE 802.3ab

compliant) and 1 tri-speed (RGMII/GMII) interface

136 kilobytes on-chip frame buffer

SNMP and Web-based management with either V-Core CPU (on-chip

8051 CPU with royalty-free, Web-managed software stack) or off-chip

8-bit CPU

DSCP remarking for both IPv4 and IPv6 frames

Enhanced support for IPv4 and IPv6 multicast, including IGMP

snooping and MLD snooping

Jumbo frame support at all speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps)

Programmable multilayer classifier with 4 QoS classes

8 k MAC addresses and 4 k VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q), as well as 8 k IP

multicast group support

Flexible link aggregation support based on Layer-2 through Layer-4

information (IEEE 802.3ad)

Full-duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3X) and half-duplex backpressure,

symmetric and asymmetric

Multicast and broadcast storm control, as well as flooding control

Multiple protocol support: IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1w, IEEE 802.1s,

and IEEE 802.1X

Wire-speed automatic learning and aging

Vitesse VeriPHY™ cable diagnostics and SimpliPHY™ magnetics

technology

Ensures maximum data throughput in highly loaded networks

Reduces the need for any PHY components thereby significantly

reducing overall systems cost

Eliminates the need for external buffer memory while maintaining high

peak load performance

Enables advanced switch management, using run-time protocols, and

low cost unmanaged/Web-managed operation

Enables LAN edge products to generate standard priority that can be

used in the core network

Enables applications such as digital video distribution with efficient

monitoring of IPv4 and IPv6 frames and multicast groups

Connects effortlessly to networks, hosts, and controllers that use up to

9.6-kilobyte frames

Optimizes network performance to support any digital stream, from

internet browsing to VoIP and video

Stores a large amount of stations at wire-speed in the on-chip MAC

Table, ensuring optimal network performance and scalability

Provides high bandwidth uplinking abilities

Ensures lossless data transmission while supporting existing legacy

Ethernet equipment

Eliminates unwanted flooding of ports, and thereby increases overall

network performance

Supports complex network topologies with fast failure recovery and

access control

Reduces CPU overhead and enables the CPU to allocate additional

cycles for protocol processing

Enables real-time cable diagnostics and low cost magnetics
