FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Dual-Chip Layer 2 Switch: Forwarding rate of 19 million packets per second at full wire speed over all network interfaces in a unit
12.8 Gbps switch fabric (per unit) minimizes blocking and latency
Coupled to embedded PowerPC RISC processor to handle advanced features
Runs cooler and more reliably than older, multi-chip designs
Extensible Platform:
Choose from 2 popular Gigabit configurations with auto-selectable switching
Run multi-mode or singlemode fiber 1000 Mbps (1000BaseSX/LX) using GBIC transceivers
Run standard Category 5 UTP copper cables up to 100 meters at 1000 Mbps (1000BaseT)
Quality of Service: Multiple priority queues ensure mission critical applications get the bandwidth and priority they need:
-
4 transmit queues per 10/100 port
-
8 queues per gigabit port
-
Priority allocated on a port basis using Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ)
- 2 packet dropping criteria using Weighted Random Early Detect (WRED)
Throughput is maintained—even under heavy traffic conditions
Multicast support: Internet group management protocol (IGMP) optimizes multicast bandwidth by allowing multicast traffic only to
registered users; minimizes denial of service attacks from unknown sources
Virtual LANs:
Logically organize nodes into 64 VLANs compliant with IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN Tagging
Overlapping VLANs are ideal for sharing and segmenting traffic and security
Total Cost of Ownership: Lowest acquisition cost for an enterprise-grade, workgroup switch
IntraCare: Free technical support and advanced warranty support for 3 years. Includes free telephone support, 24-hour support via

agreement.
AsanteCare: Optional extended technical support and product warranty for additional years.
Graphically monitor your network by using the software tools built into the IntraCore 3548
Dual-state status indicators clearly display Link/Speed or Duplex/Activity for each port
