Product Overview:
For the most demanding, high density
ATCA applications the ZX7100 brings new features to the PICMG 3.1
compatible market. With 72 Gigabit Ethernet ports and up to three
10Gigabit Ethernet ports, the ZX7100 can concentrate High
Availability traffic for any packet-based application. Critical
new features include:
|
Multiple
10Gigabit Ethernet Ingress/Egress
|
|
|
Full
Separation between ATCA Base and Data
|
|
|
PICMG
3.1 Option 1, 2, and 3 support
|
|
|
IPv6
Switching
|
With 48 Gigabit ports dedicate to the ATCA data fabric,
the ZX7100 can accommodate an assortment of PICMG 3.1 Option 3 (4
Gigabit Ethernet links) and Option 2 (2 Gigabit Ethernet link)
payload boards in a full 16-slot ATCA chassis. Option 1 boards may
also be used. These links are in addition to the Gigabit Ethernet
links supplied on the ATCA Base Interface.
Full Base and Fabric Separation
The ZX7100 is actually two complete switching subsystems
in one ATCA blade. Each of the two non-blocking switch fabrics
with their separate control processors ensure that no accidental
or malicious software malfunction can cross over between the
Control and Data planes, implementing true Telco-grade network
security.
IPv6 for Next Generation Networks
In addition to Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capability
with IPv4, the ZX7100 introduces full IPv6 switching for ATCA
fabrics. Using the same Linux-based OpenArchitect control
software, users may configure static routes or operate any of a
variety of protocol stacks for automatic routing.
10Gigabit Ethernet Egress
The power of the ATCA backplane can be well utilized with up to
three 10Gigabit Ethernet egress links on the ZX7100. Two links
are provided to the front panel and one is provided to the
optional RTM, giving flexibility for different cabling practices.
