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
