Advanced Device
Data Sheet
Advance Information
Product Features/Benefits
Single-chip, 24-port 10/100 and 4-port Gigabit
Ethernet Layer 2/3/4 switch/router
— High integration, compact footprint, and low
power dissipation enables the design of
high-port density systems at the lowest
per-port cost
Wire speed performance across all ports in
switching or IP/IPX/MPLS routing modes
— Delivers congestion-free performance
through Enterprise switches during peak load
periods
Advanced multicast, broadcast, and filtering
capabilities
— Enables video and voice multicasting on IP
networks,
— Protects from broadcast storms
— Enables high-performance intranet firewalls
Support for multiple IP networks on a single
port, as well as multiple ports on the same
network
— Accommodates adds, moves, and changes in
network topology
Hardware assistance for several Layer 2 and
Layer 2/3/4 protocols such as STP, Multiple
Spanning Trees (802.1s), Rapid Reconfiguration
(802.1w), Port-based Network Access Control
(802.1x), GVRP, GMRP, RIP, IPX/RIP, VoIP,
and IPSec packets
— Reduces complexity and cost of CPU
subsystem, which can be significant in stacks
or chassis designs
Link aggregation of all ports in groups up to 8
for 10/100 and 4 for Gigabit Ethernet ports
— Enables meshed configurations with
redundant paths for fail-safe networks
Advanced traffic prioritization, QoS,
Diffserv,WRED and bandwidth management
capabilities
— Enables the convergence of voice, video, and
data traffic of Ethernet/IP networks
Fully compliant with VLAN implementation
standards based on ports, tags, and addresses
— Enables flat plug-and-play networks that are
easy to maintain
Supports MPLS label edge router and label
switch router configurations
— Enhances and simplifies packet forwarding
through routers using MPLS labels or
forwarding decisions
Connections to other devices using
standards-based interfaces such as
SERDES/GMII, SMII, PCI, I2C, and SSRAM
— Simplifies system design and provides
flexibility when used with other devices
Support for MAC-based and switch -based
statistics gathering on chip
— Enables effective network management
using counters with SNMP
IXE2424EE version supports extended
temperature range of -40° to +85° C
— Operates at the very high and low
temperatures required for
telecommunications applications
