Cisco has unveiled enhancements to its Catalyst 6000 switch that add
more intelligence to the device for wiring closet and backbone
multilayer switching services. Cisco also rolled out a highspeed ATM
uplink for the switch.
Rival 3Com recently announced a new stackable wiring closet switch
that costs less than $80 per port. Previous offerings cost about $100
per port. 3Com also took the wraps off a switch fabric module for its
seven-slot 18G bit/ sec CoreBuilder 9000 chassis that's designed to
cost-effectively grow wiring closet switching.
The additions to Cisco's Catalyst 6000 switch include daughtercards
for policy network and multilayer switching, and the ATM uplink. For
policy networking, Cisco rolled out the Policy Feature Card (PFC),
which identifies applications - such as voice, enterprise resource
planning or multicast and classifies traffic with the appropriate
priority level, Cisco says.
In addition to packet classification, the PFC
supports other quality-of-- service features, such as packet marking,
scheduling and congestion avoidance. The card also performs protocol
filtering, which enables broadcast control among other features.
For multilayer switching, Cisco unveiled the Multilayer Switching Feature Card (MSFC). When used in combination with the PFC,
the MSFC provides 15 million packet/sec of forwarding performance for
IP, IPX and IP Multicast traffic, in addition to supporting
multiprotocol routing for AppleTalk, DecNet and VINES, Cisco says.
The MSFC also supports a suite of routing protocols, including
Routing Information Protocol-I and II, Open Shortest Path First and
IGRP. Access control lists are also supported for system security.
"This further extends the features of the Catalyst 6000 and brings
some Layer 3 capabilities to it," says Michael Speyer, an analyst at
The Yankee Group in Boston. "It's not Layer 3 forwarding on every port,
but is that needed? No. You do forwarding on the uplinks where you need
it."
The PFC and MSFC are optimized for intelligent server switching and Web-- caching applications, Cisco says.
The two ATM uplink modules each sport two 622M bit/sec OC-12 ports
in multimode or singlemode fiber. They provide Layer 2 LAN Emulation or
Layer 3 Multi-Protocol-over-ATM switching services for mixed-media
backbones requiring frame and ATM-- based connectivity.
The MSFC and PFC are available now for $29,995. The OC-12 uplinks start at $21,995.
For increased performance at the network edge, 3Com announced the
SuperStack II 3300XM switch and the new switching fabric for the
CoreBuilder 9000. The SuperStack II 3300XM uses a matrix stacking
connection to share high-speed downlinks with other members of the
SuperStack II 3300 line, including 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX, 1000Base--
LX and OC-3/OC- 12 ATM.
Each 3300XM supports 24 10/100M bit/sec Ethernet ports and a matrix
port for stacking. Two 3300XMs can be stacked for 48 10/100 workgroup
ports. This package can be added to a stack of two SuperStack II 3300s
to gain 96 10/100 ports with downlinks to a higher density edge or
backbone switch.
That higher density switch could be the CoreBuilder 9000 with the
18G bit/sec switch matrix. This module includes three Gigabit Ethernet
ports to provide connectivity to workgroup servers and the network
core.
3Com claims its new offerings provide users with high-performance
10/100 edge switching at prices 20% to 50% less than those of
competitive offerings. A Core-- Builder 9000 seven-slot chassis with
the 18G bit/sec fabric can be configured with up to 216 l Of 100 ports
at a list price of $286 per port; and two 3300 XMs provide 48 10/100
ports at a list price of $82 per port.
A SuperStack II 3300 and 3300 XM switch configuration stacked via
the matrix port provides up to 96 ports of connectivity and a
1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet downlink with a list price of $127 per
port.
The 3300 XM is priced at $1,895 and is available now. The 18G
bit/sec switch fabric for the CoreBuilder 9000 is priced at $6,495 and
will be available in October.
