Introduction
The Intel® NetStructure™ ZT 8101 10/100 Ethernet Switch is a high performance managed
switch that supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 features. For fast connection speeds and flexibility, it
has 24 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports and 2 gigabit Ethernet ports in a 6U CompactPCI* form
factor board. The in-chassis switch minimizes external wiring, thus improving density and
reliability.
You can manage the switch from a terminal, with Telnet, from a Web browser, or through IPMI via
the Intel® NetStructure™ ZT 7101 Chassis Management Module. The ZT 8101 routes and
switches at full wire speed with its non-blocking architecture, and it has sophisticated multicast
protocols to limit unnecessary traffic. It provides an in-chassis switch fabric that you can configure
to operate in a redundant configuration.
