Switch: Ports

The BigIron RX-series switch family is the densest Ethernet switching solution in the industry, capable of delivering 110 Gbps throughput per rack unit. This is 70% higher than its closest competitor. The switch fabric in all three models delivers 96 Gbps full-duplex, non-blocking capacity per full-width module slot and 48 Gbps per half-slot. A module carrier configured in a full-height slot accommodates two half-height port modules. In the future, a full-height line module may be configured into the 96 Gbps slot simply by removing the module carrier. The BigIron RX is the only switch family that ships both 40-GE-ready and 100-GE ready.

The Tsi576 integrates several features that allow the switch to leverage the high-performance capabilities of the Serial RapidIO interconnect protocol. The switch has low latency between ports and each port has optional store and forward or cut-through modes providing peak performance in any configuration. In addition, there is extensive traffic management through three fabric scheduling algorithms and programmable buffer depth for guaranteed bandwidth. Fabric performance monitoring enables supervised and managed traffic flows that result in real-time fabric optimization. The Tsi576 offers low noise core, flip-chip packaging, adjustable drive current, adjustable pre-emphasis and receive equalization per lane which all contribute to the highest possible standards in signal integrity and performance.

TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- GarrettCom(TM), Inc., Fremont, Calif., today announced its newest convection-cooled managed Ethernet switch, at the DistribuTECH 2008 Conference and Exposition here. Targeted at the power utilities industry, the highly configurable, substation-hardened Magnum(TM) 6K32FC offers up to 16 standard fiber ports or 8 Gigabit (Gb) ports in a rack-mount space-efficient package. The Magnum 6K32FC will be on exhibit at the GarrettCom booth: 1018.

This switch turns on the kernel debugger when you start Windows. The switch can be activated at any time by a host debugger that is connected to the computer, if you want to turn on live remote debugging of a Windows system through the COM ports. Unlike the /crashdebug switch, /debug uses the COM port whether you are debugging or not. Use this switch when you are debugging problems that are regularly reproducible.

Unlike a router, a switch allows dedicated bandwidth to be designated to each device on the network. For example, a 16-port 10BaseT hub shares the total 10 Mbps bandwidth with all 16 attached nodes. By replacing the hub with a switch, each sender/receiver pair has the full 10 Mbps capacity. Each port on the switch can give full bandwidth to a single server or client station or it can be connected to a hub with several stations. Switches ... support virtual local area networks (VLANs), which allow for the formation of small user groups within an existing network.

The Tsi576 switch interconnects Serial RapidIO-enabled microprocessors, DSPs, FPGAs, and peripheral devices, supporting an aggregate bandwidth of 40 Gbits/s. Designers can take advantage of configuration options to efficiently manage power requirements for high-performance. The Tsi576's port flexibility supports up to two 4x mode ports and eight 1x mode ports, or up to twelve 1x mode ports. Each port is configurable to 1.25 Gbits/s, 2.5 Gbits/s or 3.125 Gbits/s. All of the switch's ports are completely independent and will support mixed speeds.
