Asanté IntraCore 35516 Series Switches
1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Asanté IntraCore 35516 Series Giga-
bit switch. The IC35516 is from 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 35516 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 IntraCore 35516 series cover different customer
applications.
The IC35516-T is a 16-port switch that has 12 10/100/1000BaseT
ports and 4 dual-function Gigabit ports that support either
1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.
The IC35516-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 IC
35516 switches:
•
1000SX multi-mode fiber for 500 m applications
•
1000LX single-mode fiber for 2 km applications
•
1000LH single-mode fiber for 20 km applications
•
1000LZ single-mode fiber for ultra distance (120 km) appli-
cations
•
1000BaseT copper gigabit for low-cost 100 m applications
The system can operate as a stand alone network or be used in
combination with other IntraCore switches in the backbone.
