CPC6600 24-Port 10/100/1000 TX PICMG® 2.16 Ethernet Switch

¤U¸üPDF

Product PhotoThe IPnexus™ CPC6600 is an embedded Ethernet switch compatible with both standard CompactPCI® and PICMG® 2.16 backplanes. It is designed to be used as a high-speed interconnect within server blade chassis or as a core switch in fault-tolerant clusters of embedded systems.

The CPC6600, part of the Advanced Managed Platform offering, provides increased bandwidth, performance and reliability in high availability applications such as defense, IP telephony and broadband. Used within a PICMG 2.16 environment, users can realize performance gains of up to 40 times that of current PCI-based architectures. The PICMG 2.16 standard extends the existing CompactPCI 2.x specifications by adding a packet-switched backplane architecture to the chassis midplane, based on dual redundant Ethernet.

The CPC6600 has been designed to make system integration easier, while maximizing network performance and flexibility. Its potent scripting language simplifies and automates installation and maintenance. Its support of multiple switching architectures allows devices with dual Ethernet ports alternate data paths in the event of node failure. And by continuously checking its own health, data can be rerouted to an alternate path if a problem is detected.

Highlights

With dual switches in place, the alternate unit can obtain all of its operational and configuration information from the other switch or an external manager, making change-out of failed modules as simple as a hot-swap. The new unit "clones" its setup from the configuration stored on the surviving switch. With no active components on its rear panel I/O cards, failed units can easily be replaced without disturbing cables or other blades in the chassis.

The CPC6600 protects investments for the long term with easy FTP/TFTP updates to platform flash memory. System software is available through downloads from our Web site (www.pt.com), greatly simplifying or eliminating the need for dedicated on-site network administration.
