Ensemble 6000 Series
OpenVPX SWM6100 Switch Module
The Ensemble™ 6000 Series OpenVPX SWM6100 Switch Module is designed as a VITA 46 VPX-compliant module in a 6U form factor, also compatible with OpenVPX™ system architecture design principles. This module is a VITA 46/48 switch board that provides full inter-board control plane Gigabit Ethernet connections in a 6U VPX system. The SWM6100 module provides Gigabit Ethernet switching for up to 18 VPX payload slots via the on-board Broadcom Level 2 managed switch. Two Gigabit Ethernet ports are available, allowing external Ethernet traffic to access the backplane Ethernet links.
Features
- First 6U VPX switch module to provide Gigabit Ethernet switching for OpenVPX control plane
- Broadcom BCM56312 switch for Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over backplane to each payload module
- With on-board service processor, switch configurable as fast-booting Level 2 managed switch, enabling link aggregation, multicast support via IGMP, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) support, and support for Jumbo packets
Benefits
- Versatile control plane switching and front panel I/O in a single slot
- Control plane Ethernet switching
- Air-cooled and conduction-cooled variants available
- Architected to meet OpenVPX™ design principles
