48-port 10/100/1000Base-T Line Card Overview
The 48-port 10/100/1000Base-T line card for the Force10
E-Series E600 and E1200 is based on the innovative Force10
TeraScale™ ASICs and provides connectivity over Cat5 UTP
copper for distances up to 100 meters.
This line card provides industry-leading density of up to
672 line-rate, non-blocking 10/100/1000Base-T ports in a
single chassis. Additionally, the TeraScale ASICs and E-Series
architecture enable line-rate performance with QoS and
Access Control Lists (ACLs) enabled, jumbo frame support,
with simultaneous L2 switching, IPv4 and IPv6 routing.
Key Features
- Full line-rate throughput for 64 to 9,252 byte Ethernet frames on all ports
with all features enabled
- Integrated Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) to easily monitor and isolate
faults on copper wiring infrastructure
- Guaranteed packet delivery through virtual output queues that minimize
latency and eliminate head-of-line blocking
- Wire-speed security features including up to 4K L2, 26K IPv4 and 8K IPv6
Access Control Lists (ACLs) per line card (using default CAM profiles)
- Fully functional switching and routing with up to 64K MACs, 256K IPv4
addresses or 192K/6K IPv4/IPv6 addresses per series EF line card, or
512K IPv4 addresses and 32K IPv6 addresses per series EG line card
(using default CAM profiles)
- Configurable CAM profiles for L2, IPv4,
IPv6 FIBs and ACLs that allow flexible
CAM allocation based on network
requirements
