2.6.1 ES/6600 - Used in Avaya G860 Media Gateways
Configurations
The ES/6600 Ethernet Switch board, based on CPC6600, is a full wire-speed Layer2
10/100/1000 24 port Gigabit Ethernet switch that is compatible with both PICMG 2.16
CompactPCI® backplanes. The ES/6600 board is accompanied by a corresponding
RTM, which provides up to 7 copper-based Ethernet ports. In the Avaya G860 Media
Gateways configuration, the ES/6600 board provides 18 Gigabit port connections via
the midplane and 6 1000Base-T ports via a Rear Transition Module. The 6600 ES
boards have an internal interlink connection. There is an F-Link between the two ES
boards using one of the RTM ports. For more details on the ES/6600/RTM, refer to
'ES/6600/RTM' on page 40.
The ES/6600 Ethernet Switch board provides the following features:
24 10/100/1000Mbps cPSB-compliant Ethernet ports (11 are connected to the Avaya
G860 Media Gateway midplane slots, the remainder are for future use)
Front or rear panel console port (RS-232).
Front panel 10/100Mbps out-of-band 10/100Base-TX Ethernet port for management
Dual 44Gbs switched fabrics
Advanced Fast Filter Processor for wire speed Layer2-7 packet classification and
filtering
Support for hardware connection layer of PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap, enhanced with
Performance Technologies' exclusive Auto Configuration Replication.
Full duplex 802.3x Flow Control
16K MAC addresses (Layer2)
Managed learning of attached devices on a per-port basis for enhanced network
security
802.3ac tagged packet support
Jumbo packet (9KB) support
802.1p priority queuing (8 classes of service).
802.1Q VLAN support (16 VLANs)
802.3-2000 Link Aggregation (up to 12 groups, 8 ports per group)
Broadcast storm detection and suppression
Multi-Port Mirroring
Power-On diagnostics
Single-slot Rear Transition Module supports up to 6 1000BaseT ports, plus console.
