MULTILAYER 12-PORT GIGABIT ETHERNET STACKABLE SWITCH
12-port Multilayer Gigabit Ethernet Switch with HiGig+
TM
Stacking
•
12 10/100/1000-Mbps Ethernet ports with copper or fibre
connectivity

HiGig+™ stacking port that runs at 10-Gbps or 12-Gbps speeds

Integrated high-performance SerDes with XAUI™ interface on
the HiGig+ port and an SGMII interface on the Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) ports

All address tables and buffer memory fully integrated on-chip

Support for port trunking and mirroring across stacked links

Support for jumbo frames of up to 9 KB in size

Advanced full-duplex end-to-end flow and congestion control with
head-of-line blocking prevention

ContentAware™ packet filtering and classification per-port
Wirespeed operation
Support for 802.1p, TOS/DiffServ, policing, shaping, marking, and
remarking
Rate control of broadcast, unknown multicast and unicast packets
Eight queues per port

Support for double 802.1q VLAN tagging and VLAN translation

Hardware-based IP multicast routing and forwarding
Support for replication

Equal and weighted cost multipath routing for load balancing

Advanced diagnostic features including JTAG boundary scan and
BIST functionality

Low power consumption of 4.65W in a 480-pin PBGA package

Pin-to-pin compatible with the BCM5690
Enables modular, scalable, and high-performance GbE switch
designs using switch fabric
Facilitates seamless integration of voice, video, and data traffic
through low-latency and advanced QoS
Enables lower system design cost and board space utilization
through superior integration and compact form factor
Offers quicker time-to-market and software reuse through
backward compatibility with Broadcom switch software API
