Embedded: Entry-Level Switched Fabric Board Manages PICMG 2.16 Or Vita 31.1

The FP 100/008 10-port, 10/100 Ethernet switch handles switch-fabric chores in a CompactPCI PICMG 2.16 and ANSI VITA 31.1 packet switched environment. The nonblocking, layer 2, unmanaged switch targets low-power, low-cost telecom applications. It supports port-based virtual local-area network (VLAN) or IEEE 802.1Q VLAN with up to 64 VLANs. The board has PICMG 2.9 IPMI system monitoring and hot insertion/removal support. Ports 10 and 9 are brought out to the front and rear panels, respectively. Prices for the FP100/008 start at $1000.
