VSC7310-01
24-Port 10/100/1000 and 2-Port 10 Gbps Wire-Speed Stackable Layer-2/Layer-3 Ethernet Switch
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
VSCxxxx
Gatwick-Ie™ is a highly integrated, single-chip Ethernet
switch/router with 24 × 1 Gbps and 2 × 10 Gbps
non-blocking ports. Gatwick-Ie delivers high
performance with easy migration paths and
comprehensive system solutions that enable ultra-short
time-to-market and market leading system cost.
A Vitesse Switch Family Member
With its 24 tri-speed ports and 2 × 10 Gbps ports, Gatwick-Ie is specifically
targeted at desktop or workgroup switch applications. Gatwick-Ie is well
suited for designing 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch systems by using two
devices.
Being a member of the switch family provides a number of unique
advantages when designing with the device, including very high software
compatibility between the family members. As a result, software written for
Gatwick-Ie can easily be adapted and used with other switch
configurations in the family, and vice-versa.
Additionally, building a product family is easy when designing with Vitesse
switches. Migrating designs to other port counts or future technology can
be managed with a minimum of effort and time.
The highly integrated switches require no external memory at all, and the
use of Reduced Mode interfaces (RGMII) simplifies PCB layout to reduce
time and cost. Further trimming down system cost is the persistently
low-power dissipation of the family.
The switches provide for high performance designs with their
non-blocking, wire-speed performance, which includes wire-speed MAC
address learning and the wire-speed routing performance of Gatwick-Ie.
The introduction of VStaX™, Vitesse proprietary stacking architecture,
enables collaboration and scalability.
Designing both unmanaged and managed solutions is straightforward. The
devices offer both serial and parallel CPU interfaces, as well as supporting
a host of management protocols such as GxRP, SNMP, IGMP Snooping,
RIP v1 and v2, OSPF, and three flavors of Spanning Tree: Standard STP,
Multiple STP, and Rapid STP.
Gaining control with networks operated by the Vitesse switches is simple;
advanced Layer 2 through Layer 4 classification, plus shaping/scheduling
and policing functionality, along with port authentication support, provide
flexible QoS operation. This is backed up by link aggregation and VLAN
support, enabling advanced techniques such as 802.1Q-in-802.1Q to be
deployed. Additionally, OAM is supported for designing switch products for
Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM).
Designing with a member of the Vitesse switch family means designing
with the whole Vitesse solution:
The outstanding Vitesse web-managed switch software system, which
runs on a low-cost CPU, is provided. This is in addition to the
smart-managed software system, which is also included. For software
development, our full platform and OS-independent switch API is supplied.
Accompanying the software systems are the Vitesse Switch Reference
Systems. These are production-ready hardware designs that also serve as
evaluation platforms for our switches.
The Vitesse Solution is supplied with a comprehensive collateral package,
which includes software source code, full documentation, and an in-depth
qualification report for easy pre-evaluation.
