Ethernet Switch VLAN 5x100M

Ethernet Switch VLAN 5x100M

Key features

  • 5 x 100 Mbit/s Ethernet ports.
  •  Full wire-speed on all ports and all Ethernet frame sizes.
  •  Store and forward shared memory architecture.
  •  Support for jumbo packets up to 4087 bytes.
  •  Passes maximum overlap mesh test (RFC2899) excluding the CPU port, for all packet sizes up to 1518 bytes.
  •  Queue management operations:
    •  Disable scheduling of packets on a port.
    •  Disable queuing new packets to a port.
    •  Allow a port to be drained without sending out packets.
    •  Allow checking if a port is empty or not.
  •  Input and output mirroring.
  •  4,096 entry L2 MAC table, hash based 4-way.
  •  16 entry VLAN table.
  •  16 entry synthesized CAM to solve hash collisions.
  •  4 entries of the synthesized CAM are fully maskable.
  •  128 entry L2 multicast table.
  •  Automatic aging and wire-speed learning of L2 addresses. Does not require any CPU/software intervention.
  •  Spanning tree support, ingress and egress checks.
  •  L2 classification rules. Consists of Source Port, DA MAC, SA MAC, the packets VLAN VID field, the packets VLAN PCP field, the packets VLAN CFI field, Ethernet type.
  •  1310720 bits shared packet buffer memory for all ports divided into 2048 cells each of 80 bytes size
  •  4 priority queues per egress port.
  •  Configurable mapping of egress queue from IP TOS, MPLS exp/tc or VLAN PCP bits.
  •  Deficit Weighted Round Robin Scheduler.
  •  Egress queue resource limiter with four sets of configurations.
  •  Configuration interface for accessing configuration and status registers/tables.
  •  Multicast/Broadcast storm control with separate token buckets for flooding, broadcast and multicast packets.
  •  Multicast/Broadcast storm control is either packet or byte-based, configurable per egress port.
  •  LLDP frames can optionally be sent to the CPU.

Enhancing Ethernet Security with MACsec

Ethernet was originally designed for high-speed data transfer and interoperability between devices. However, traditional Ethernet does not provide built-in mechanisms for securing data traffic, such as encryption or authenticity protection. This is where MACsec comes into the picture.

What Makes Ethernet IP Truly Automotive-Grade

This blog examines what separates truly automotive-grade Ethernet IP from generic implementations across functional safety, time-sensitive networking, security, observability, lifecycle management, and the integration disciplines that only become visible once a program is deep into development.
