High-performance Ethernet

switch

The new IBM 8275 Fast Ethernet Workgroup Switch Models 318, 322 and 326

are the latest additions to the fast-growing

10/100 Ethernet Switch family. These highperformance Fast Ethernet switches are

ideal for medium- to large-sized

workgroups that require the flexibility of

10/100 Mbps or 100BASE-FX client

attachments along with high-speed

uplink and server capabilities. Models 318

and 322 are the first members of the

Ethernet switch product family to offer a

significant number of 100BASE-FX fiber

ports for high-speed client attachment.

Each of the 8275 models has two option

slots that can be equipped with one or

two 2-port 100BASE-FX fiber uplink

modules, one or two 1-port 1000BASE-SX

Gigabit uplink modules, or one module of

each type. High port density for fiber

connectivity is available on the client side

of these innovative 8275 Ethernet

Workgroup Switch 318 and 322 models.

Network management

Simple Network Management Protocol

(SNMP) can be used to configure the

8275 for store-and-forward operation

when deployed for Ethernet-to-Ethernet

transmission. The 8275 supports four

RMON groups—events, alarms, statistics

and history. The 8275 is designed to

support customer setup (CSU) and

automatically become operational from

default configuration.

Support for the industry-based SNMP

management MIBs allows the 8275 switch

to be managed by any SNMP-based

management system. The IBM 8275

Models 318, 322 and 326 support the

following standard MIBs:

• IETF SNMP MIB-II

• Bridge MIB

• Remote Monitoring MIBs

- RMON MIB

- Standard VLAN MIBs

• Web-based management

Beyond the ability to configure complementary ports for data transmission,

VLANs enable you to gather individual

LAN resources distributed across the

entire enterprise. With VLAN support from

IBM, key properties of the accounting

department LAN, for example, could be

integrated securely into the sales

department LAN. This ability to group

allied enterprise assets yields powerful

results—more organizational communication and well-informed workgroups.

Web-based management

capabilities

Embedded within the switch will be Webbased management, which will allow

HTML and JavaTM-based management of

the switch. The Java-based features allow

full graphical management of the switch

with point-and-click capabilities to probe

the status of individual ports.

Ease of use

The 8275 Models can be mounted in

standard 19-inch racks or placed on a

horizontal surface (for example on a

tabletop). LEDs on the front panel provide

status information for all of the ports

including expansion module, overall

status of the box and power status.

High-performance switching

capabilities

Consistent with other members of the IBM

Ethernet switch family, the new 8275

models support half- and full-duplex

communication on all ports, cut-through

switching, store-and-forward switching,

optional VLAN support, VPD, SNMP, BootP

initialization and a local EIA-232 port for

out-of-band management.

VLAN-ready for configurable

deployments

The IBM 8275 Fast Ethernet Workgroup

Switch can be integrated into virtual local

area networks (VLANs) with ease. For

network applications that require traffic

pattern control, heightened security or

broadcast behavior control, administrators and engineers are calling upon

VLANs to help users separated by

geography to share information.

The IBM 8275 Fast Ethernet Workgroup

Switch defines a VLAN as a group of

ports that together comprise a single

multicast domain. All network end stations

connected to the group of ports can

communicate with one another, yet

broadcast packets received on a port in a

particular VLAN will not be transmitted to

ports that are not designated as members of the VLAN.

Features Benefits

MAC address support Large MAC address table (8192 addresses) supports downstream devices.

Backplane capacity and throughput 5-Gbps internal backplane capacity and design ensure Ethernet high-bandwidth throughput.

Forwarding Cut-through and store-and-forward switching modes deliver optimal performance in

error-free networks.

Buffering and flow control Improves switch efficiency by reducing packet loss under heavy loads or congested conditions.

Port trunking Provides high-speed connectivity between switches to reduce network bottlenecks and

increase bandwidth.

801.d Spanning Tree Allows creation of redundant paths and protects against cable and equipment failures in

mission-critical applications.
