Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Asanté IntraCore 35516 Series Gigabit switch. The IC35516 is from a family of
multi-media and multi-protocol switches capable of supporting Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 and Layer 4
protocols. They are designed to offer industry-leading performance at a very competitive cost of ownership.
Important! This manual describes the hardware setup and configuration commands that are used by the
IC35516. It is not intended to be a complete configuration guide for your specific network requirements.
Each IntraCore 35516 switch is a 16-port solution for Gigabit Ethernet switching using shared-memory
architecture to achieve Gigabit switching on all ports. The highly integrated system includes MACs, Address
Look-up, Content Addressable Memory (CAM), Switch Engine, Primary Buffer Memory, and programmable
Quality of Service (QoS).
Two models in the IntraCore 35516 series cover different customer applications.
The IC35516-T is a 16-port switch that has 12 10/100/1000BaseT ports and 4 dual function Gigabit ports
that support either 1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.
The IC35516-G is a 16-port switch that has 12 GBIC style Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 dual function Gigabit
ports that support either 10/100/1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.
The following types of GBIC modules are supported on the IC35516 switches:
•
1000SX multi-mode fiber for 500 m applications
•
1000LX single-mode fiber for 2 km applications
•
1000LH single-mode fiber for 20 km applications
•
1000LZ single-mode fiber for ultra distance (120 km) applications
•
1000BaseT copper gigabit for low-cost 100 m applications
The system can operate as a stand-alone network or be used in combination with other IntraCore switches
in the backbone.
