SCALABLE 12-PORT GIGABIT ETHERNET MULTILAYER SWITCH
FEATURES
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• 12 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports supporting both copper
and fiber connections
• Integrated high-performance SerDes
• Gigabit Ethernet SerDes per port
• 4-pins per port SGMII interface to Gigabit Ethernet PHYs
• 32 million packets/second (line rate) aggregate switching
capacity
• Supports 8 classes of service (CoS) per port
• Port trunking and mirroring supported across stacked
switches
• Fully integrated data and address memory on-chip
• Advanced packet flow control:
• Head of line blocking prevention
• Full-duplex flow control (802.3x compatible)
• ContentAwareTM network processing per port
• Line rate multifield packet classification
• Supports IEEE802.1p, TOS/DiffServ, rate limiting, policing,
priority tagging, and remapping
• Support for jumbo Frames of up to 9 KB
• Advanced diagnostic features including IEEE1149.1 JTAG
boundary scan and BIST functionality
• Low power, enhanced thermal 480-pin EBGA package
• System vendors can build scalable high-performance, high
port density Gigabit Ethernet LAN switches in several form
factors.
• Multiple classes of service (CoS) and very low latency enable
the support of VoIP and other voice, video, and data
applications.
• Built-in high-speed serial interfaces with Broadcom-unique
SerDes technology eases and accelerates system design, while
reducing cost and conserving board space.
• Broadcom switch API compatability enables software reuse
and faster time-to-market
• Small package and low power enables cost-effective and high-
performance system design
TARGET APPLICATIONS
• Multilayer switch in modular Gigabit Ethernet switches
• High port count stand-alone or stackable Gigabit Ethernet
switches
• Chassis and in-server switch blade applications
