3.5 Switches
Switches bring the benefits of full performance 802.1D compliant switching to a
range of network applications on a variety of levels - the desktop, the department,
and the enterprise.
Features
• Provides full 802.1D compliant standards-based switching platforms for
data integrity and interoperability.
• Supports full translation of packets between Ethernet and FDDI (IEEE
802.1i) as well as IP packet fragmentation (RFC 791 and 1191) and special-
ized support for non-translating protocols (IEEE 802.1h).
• Offers user-setable rate limiting of broadcast and multicast packets by
address and specific protocol.
• Includes an integral SNMP management agent.
The following modules are available for use in the DEChub platforms or as
standalone devices.
• PEswitch 900TX
• DECswitch 900EE (No FDDI)
• DECswitch 900EF
• DECswitch 900FO
