1-2 Product Introduction
What is the DIGITAL VNswitch 900GV?
The DIGITAL VNswitch 900GV (also referred to in this manual as the module) is a
single Gigabit Ethernet port switch that allows a Modular Media Interface (MMI)
connection using industry standard GBIC (Gigabit Interface Connector). The Gigabit
Ethernet port supports: Gigabit Ethernet Single-Mode Fiber (SMF), and Gigabit
Ethernet Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF).
The DIGITAL VNswitch 900GV network module is a true backbone network switch
that supports complete filtering (including source address, destination address,
protocol type, and VLAN) for greater network control, increased security and
bandwidth utilization, and reduced propagation of network problems.
The module includes a large address table (approximately 8,000 entries) and is fully
IEEE 802.1d standards-compliant, ensuring the high performance and packet integrity
required in large switched networks. The module’s MMI port is IEEE 802.3z
standards-compliant.
When installed into a MultiSwitch 900 chassis and connected to the VNbus, the
module can function as an uplink for other DIGITAL VNswitch 900 series modules.
You can install and configure the module in a DIGITAL MultiSwitch 900 chassis. The
module is fully interoperable with other modules when installed in the DIGITAL
MultiSwitch 900 chassis.
