C.1 Cabletron ATM Switches
Cabletron Systems offers a complete line of ATM switches that provide scal-
able ATM connectivity ranging from desktop-to-desktop connections to those
spanning wide area networks. Cabletron ATM switches provide high-perfor-
mance, high-reliability ATM connectivity for LAN workgroup and desktop
applications, LAN backbone applications, and LAN/WAN internetworking
applications. Together with the Cabletron series of ATM LAN and WAN net-
work nodules, these switches meet the networking demands of today’s dis-
tributed, time-critical applications.
All of the Cabletron ATM switches deliver high-performance switching
capacity and speed for ATM applications. A non-blocking switching capacity
of 2.5 Gbps is continually available on the SFCS-200WG, or the SFCS-200BX.
Each switch provides up to 4 ports of connectivity, each running at speeds up
to 622 Mbps; or up to 16 ports, each running at speeds up to 155 Mbps; or up
to 24 ports, each running at speeds up to 100 Mbps. The
ASX-1000 provides 10
Gbps of switching capacity for up to 16 ports of connectivity, each running at
speeds up to 622 Mbps; or up to 64 ports, each running at speeds up to 155
Mbps; or up to 96 ports, each running at speeds up to 100 Mbps.
This section provides an overview of the Cabletron Systems family of ATM
switches. It details operating, environmental, and general specifications, as
well as the hardware requirements necessary to use the different switches.
