The IntraCore
6524 is a high performance solution for enterprise edge applications.
The front panel of each switch includes twenty-four 10/100 RJ-45 Ethernet
ports and two SC-connector Gigabit fiber ports. The system can operate
as a stand-alone network or be used in combination with other IntraCore
series switches in the backbone.
FEATURES
& BENEFITS
ASIC-Based
Architecture
ASIC-based
packet processing provides wire speed performance on all interfaces
High
Performance 6.4Gbps Backplane
The system supports current requirements for multi-service voice, video,
and data applications with bandwidth to spare.
Multiple
Priority Queues
The "application aware" system ensures that mission critical
applications get the bandwidth and the priority they need, even under
heavy traffic conditions. When network congestion occurs, low latency
requirements are managed by the system.
GBIC
Modules for Gigabit Ethernet Media Flexibility
The two GBIC Gigabit Ethernet modules can be configured with any combination
of 1000SX, 1000LX or 1000LX (Long Haul) GBIC interfaces. Either Asante
or third party GBIC interfaces can be used, and the interfaces can be
hot-swapped. This means that GBIC interfaces can be re-deployed based
on the user's applications.
Installation
Option
The system can be rack-mounted to save space.
Security
Node summary tracks MAC and IP addresses per device, for multiple devices
on each port. The Port Security feature provides per-port security,
allowing the network manager to specify which MAC is authorized on each
port. Only the device with that MAC address is allowed to connect to
that specific port.
Web-Based
Management
Provided for chassis management, module management, port-level control,
and monitoring. The IntraCore 6524 can also be managed via Telnet, Console,
or third party SNMP console.
VLANs
Supports up to 64 port-based VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q compliant) for security,
logical network design, and the control of broadcast traffic. The 802.1Q
standard specifies VLAN tagging for trunking VLANs from switch to switch,
or switch to router. Compatible with all 802.1Q equipment for easy integration
into existing networks.
Multicast
Control
Supports standards based 1GMP snooping for control of multicast traffic
generated by bandwidth-hungry applications such as vide, ensuring maximum
application and network performance.
RMON
The administrator can use an RMON probe for in-depth traffic analysis,
with support for four groups of RMON.
Spanning
Tree Protocol
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) detects and eliminates data loops to prevent
broadcast storms from overwhelming your network.
