Asanté IntraCore 35160 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Switches

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Asanté IntraCore 35160 Series Giga-

bit switch. These switches are a family of multi-media and multi-

protocol switches capable of supporting Layer 2 switching and

Layer 3 and Layer 4 protocols. They are designed to offer industry-

leading performance at a very competitive cost of ownership.

Each IntraCore 35160 switch is a 16-port solution for Gigabit

Ethernet switching using shared-memory architecture to achieve

Gigabit switching on all ports. The highly integrated system includes

MACs, Address Look-up Content Addressable Memory (CAM),

Switch Engine, Primary Buffer Memory, and programmable Quality

of Service (QoS).

Two models in the 35160 series cover different customer applica-

tions.

The IntraCore 35160-T is a 16-port switch that has 12 10/100/

1000BaseT ports and 4 dual function Gigabit ports that support ei-

ther 1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.

The IntraCore 35160-G is a 16-port switch that has 12 GBIC style

Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 dual function Gigabit ports that support

either 1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.

The following types of GBIC modules are supported on the 35160

switches:

• 1000SX multi-mode fiber for 500m applications

• 1000LX single-mode fiber for 2km applications

• 1000LH single-mode fiber for 20km applications

• 1000LZ single-mode fiber for ultra distance (120km) appli-

cations

• 1000BaseT Copper Gigabit for low-cost 100m applications

The system can operate as a stand-alone network or be used in

combination with other IntraCore series switches in the backbone.
