Description

ComEth 5100b is a range of highly integrated Layer 2+ Ethernet switches that provides twenty four 10/100TX Ethernet ports and six Gigabits ports. All these capabilities are implemented on a single slot 6U board.

ComEth 5100b ports are compatible both with PICMG 2.16 or VITA 31.1 system. A rear I/O transition interface is available to provide a set of RJ45 rear connectors. This switch is fully upward compatible with ComEth5100a. It provides more Giga Ethernet ports and adds some L2 enhanced functions as the port aggregation, traffic rate shaping, etc.

Twenty Fast Ethernet ports are routed on rear I/O in compliance with PICMG 2.16 (J3/J5). The remaining four Fast Ethernet plus up to four Giga Ethernet are available on J4 and can be used through a rear transition module. According to the version, up to four additional front Giga Ethernet channels are available : two in 10/100/1000BT and two with an auto-media selection between a 10/100/1000BT (RJ45) or a 1000SX/LX (LC). An optional mezzanine board can provide some additional front port.

Its ultra low-power design together with the thermal monitoring makes it ideal for integration in high-demanding application. The switch is available in standard, rugged or conduction-cooled grade.

ComEth5100b products are proposed as end-user switches with IC’s SwitchWare embedded software. ComEth5100b acts as a full Layer 2/3 managed switch. It can be operated from a browser, PC Windows application or SNMP. The entire functionalities can be easily managed and monitored. This switch is powered by a PowerPC. The software update can be downloaded and stored in Flash memory.

The Enhanced Switchware package provides some software layer 3 functions, allowing local IP forwarding (IPv4/ IPv6), static and dynamic protocols (RIP, OSPF) routing, proxy-ARP and DHCP-relay. These L3 functions are managed through a CLI interface. ComEth5100b combines in a single equipment a layer 2+ switch and a layer 3 router.

Physical features

Base Unit

Twenty four auto-crossover 10/100BT and up to four (Max 6 GE directly on the base board) )10/100/1000BT ports available on the rear panel (J3/4/5).

Two Gigabits ports 1000BT and two mixed BT and Fiber ports. In the dual configuration the selection between fiber or copper is automatic. The 1000SX or LX characteristics are :

VCSEL (850nm) or FP laser (1300nm) model :

Switch Management

Onboard firmware are implemented with Power on Built-In Test, maintenance functions and network (BootP/DHCP) updating functions.

Management software provides a wide range of configuration functions on any port : transmission speed/mode, VLAN, RST/STP parameters, mirroring, etc.

Supervision functions get lots of information in real time on the switch status in particular the local temperature. Optionally the management can be done trough an out-of-band Ethernet port.

MIB and RMON counters and private information are reachable from SNMP agent, HTTP web-browser via Ethernet.

This Open Application, named SWITCHWARE, is carried out by a PowerPC processor running under LINUX.
