ZT8102 Series
16 port GigE CompactPCI Ethernet Switch with
OpenArchitect
Product Overview:
Optimized for use in popular 14-node slot systems, the switches are designed to meet the slot, power and cooling budgets of 10U and smaller chassis. Chassis management is achieved through IPMI support, with integrated temperature and voltage sensors for added reliability. The single-chip Intel® IXE5416 Media Switch handles an array of functions that many other designs must perform by using multiple chips, including hardware-based wire-speed L2 switching and L3 routing, L2 and L3 Class of Service, and multicast support. This CompactPCI/PICMG 2.16 switch is available in either a standard Layer 3 version—the ZT 8102 switch—or an enhanced Layer 3 version with high availability software stack—the ZT 8102HA switch. The high availability software package enables switch-to-switch failover for continuous network availability, while auto-configuration complements the hot swap capability for ease of service. OpenArchitect Switch Management
The OpenArchitect software component – open
source Linux, IP protocol stack, control applications and the OA Engine
– runs on an embedded Motorola MPC8255 PowerPC microprocessor.
OpenArchitect provides extensive managed IP routing protocols and other
open standards for switch management. Examples include
network services; Virtual
Redundant Router Protocol; Routing
Information Protocol; Open
Shortest Path First; Border
Gateway Protocol; IP
Multicast, Quality
of Service and Class of Service; access
control lists; and management
via Simple Network Management Protocol MIBs , Common Open Policy
Services and web.
Softswitch Flexibility with Silicon Speeds
The OA Engine is the bridge between the software
environment and high performance switch fabric. The engine transparently
moves routing policies established by software to the switch fabric's
forwarding table. This bridge enables line rate packet switching, executed
on a silicon switch fabric chip, that is managed by open source routing
protocols -- a quick time-to-market, feature-rich protocol set.
Single or Multi-mode Fiber
14 of the Gigabit Ethernet ports are routed to
the backplane and two are routed to the front panel as SFP (Small Form
Pluggable) fiber uplink ports. The SFP modules may be independently
field configured for mutli-mode (1000Base-SX) or single-mode (1000Base-LX)
media to accommodate short-haul and long-haul links as desired extending
transmission distances to 10km with the high reliability of fiber without
requiring a rear transition board. This makes the ZT8102 ideal for connecting
campus and MAN networks, using any of the suite of OpenArchitect-based
routing and management protocols.
High Availability
The ZT8102 was designed for demanding High Availability
applications where downtime is unacceptable. The ZT8102 hardware provides
full support for the PICMG 2.1 HotSwap specification which ensures there
is no electrical operation side effects when inserting or extracting
the ZX4800 from a PICMG 2.1 compliant system.
The ZT8102 is offered with OpenArchitect/HA Suite
software enabled(ZT8102-HA), an upgrade to OpenArchitect Switch Management
that provides Service Continuity to ZNYX Networks embedded Ethernet
switches. OpenArchitect/HA Suite includes:
Management
The front panel includes one out-of-band 10/100
Mbps management port and one serial management port. In-band management
is also provided for switch configuration across a network.Chassis managment
is achieved through IPMI support with integrated temperature and voltage
sensors for added reliability.
