Ethernet Switches: Bay Networks LattisSwitch 28000 - BAY-28115 [Bottom of Page]

Bay Networks Ethernet Switching Hubs
Part Number: BAY-28115

Sixteen-Port 10/100 Mbs UTP Switched Ethernet Workgroup Hubs with Core Switching Software.





Overview

LattisSwitch (TM) Fast Ethernet switches enhance existing Ethernet LANs by providing 2.0Gbs internal switching and scalable 10/100Mbs dedicated bandwidth to support today's high-performance, high-demand networks.

By delivering dedicated, scalable bandwidth, where and when it is needed, the LattisSwitch switches relieve the performance bottlenecks that plague traditional shared media networks. Featuring Bay Networks' Fast Frame (TM) technology, the LattisSwitch switches' 2 Gbps internal switching fabric allows multiple conversations to take place simultaneously, providing up to 200 times the aggregate bandwidth available on 10Mbs Ethernet networks.

LattisSwitch switches support standard 10Mbs IEEE 802.3 Ethernet, allowing seamless integration into existing Ethernet environments. In addition, compliance with the IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T specification enables the LattisSwitch switches to support high-speed 100 Mbs connections, delivering additional bandwidth for particularly demanding applications.

The LattisSwitch family is fully integrated with the latest release of the Optivity network management system for complete port-level monitoring and control. Combined with Optivity's configuration switching capabilities, the LattisSwitch switches also contribute to a virtual networking solution that combines the benefits of both switched and shared-media technologies.

The LattisSwitch family is a key component of the Bay Networks (TM) 100Base-T Fast Ethernet strategy. Working with other Bay Networks Fast Ethernet products, such as the 100Base-T Stackable Hubs, the Ethernet Workgroup Switch and Fast Ethernet interfaces on the Access Stack Node (ASN (TM)), Backbone Link Node (BLN) and Backbone Concentrator Node (BCN) routers, the LattisSwitch switches contribute to the industry's most complete 100Mbs Ethernet solution.

Benefits

Improves Overall Network Performance

Delivering 2.0Gbps internal switching and scalable 10/100 Mbs bandwidth, the LattisSwitch family of Fast Ethernet switches provides up to 200 times the aggregate bandwidth available on traditional 10Mbs Ethernet networks.

Reduces Network Segmentation Costs

Installed in the network center, LattisSwitch switches provide distributed network segments with dedicated 10Mbs or 100Mbs links, providing a cost-effective solution for segmenting the network to improve performance. As a result, more expensive router ports can be reserved for establishing network domains based on network-layer subnetting or geographic locations. The LattisSwitch solution also allows users connected to the switches to be moved anywhere in the network without changing their addresses, reducing the administrative costs associated with making similar modifications in a routed environment.

Eliminates Network Congestion

By offering 100Mbs "big pipe" connections to high-utilization devices such as departmental servers, LattisSwitch switches relieve the data bottlenecks found on 10Mbs shared-media networks. For particularly demanding power workgroups, where even dedicated 10Mbs links are quickly overwhelmed, LattisSwitch switches provide dedicated 100Mbs links to keep the network running at peak performance.
