September 29, 2015 - Interface Concept introduces ComEth4510a, a combined control and data plane 10/40 Gigabit switch compliant with the OpenVPX profile MOD6-SWH-16U16F-12.4.5-4.
Two Ethernet switches are managed by a Multicore 64-bit PowerPC, offering two optional out-of-band 1000Base-T ports (front and rear) and traffic log recording on NAND Flash.
On the Control Plane, 16 x 1000BASE-BX ports are available on P1 connector as well as 4 x 1000BASE-T ports at the front. 4 additional Control Plane ports are also provided either at the front (SFP/copper) or at the rear (1000BASE-T ports).
On the Data Plane, 16 Fat Pipes are available for providing 16 x 10GBASE-KX4, 16 x 40GBASE-KR4, 48 x 10GBASE-KR or 48 x 1000BASE-KX ports or mixed configurations.
Moreover, a Mezzanine can be added providing either 2 x 10GBASE-T ports at the front and 2 x 10GBASE-KX4 at the rear as Control Plane ports, or 4 x 10GBASE-T at the front as Data Plane ports.
The switchware is run on the PowerPC processor of the switch providing a lot of management functions: configuration of all the PHY and switch parameters, ports monitoring, static MAC address, QoS policy, Multicast and VLAN control, STP/RSTP protocols, MAC security, monitoring of all statistical counters and an extensive list of RMON counters.
