WaveSwitch 9202

 

The WaveSwitch 9202 is a versatile, high-capacity switch that easily handles all the traffic within a building network or a high performance workgroup.

As a member of the WaveSwitch 9200 family, the WaveSwitch 9202 uses the same hardware technology and the same NextWave Switching software. It forwards frames at Layer 2 or Layer 3, as appropriate.

Whether in standalone applications, or as part of a larger network, the WaveSwitch 9202 provides a simple, homogeneous solution to deliver high-speed Ýapplications all the way to the desktop.

 

Description

The WaveSwitch 9202 is a 2-slot version of the WaveSwitch 9200. Its design features a high-capacity crosspoint switching fabric surrounded by I/O modules, called Gigamodules.

All WaveSwitch 9200 I/O modules can be used in the WaveSwitch 9202. ÝThe Gigamodules can switch between different technologies. Maximal configurations are:

  • 16 FDDI SAS ports
  • 8 FDDI DAS ports
  • 32 10/100BASE-TX ports
  • 32 100BASE-FX ports
  • 1 Router Accelerator (Layer 3 switch)

The WaveSwitch 9202 has powerful networking features grouped under the name NextWave Switching. These features increase available bandwidth and decrease the complexity of network operations. NextWave Switching reduces broadcast and multicast traffic and automatically configures network parameters.

The WaveSwitch 9202 supports trunk group software. By combining up to 32 links into a single virtual link, trunking provides a high-bandwidth, high-availability connection to other switches or high-performance servers.

New applications requiring high speed file transfer or full motion video place great demands on the network. The WaveSwitch 9202 combines raw switching capacity with sophisticated network features to satisfy even the most demanding applications.

 Benefits

  • Increases bandwidth for new network applications, while maintaining compatibility with existing network infrastructure
  • Switches traffic at Layer 2 or Layer 3 to maximize performance and simplify operations
  • Provides a tunable, high-bandwidth connection to servers or other switches using Trunk Group software
  • Controls broadcast and multicast traffic through NextWave Switching features
  • Increases productivity of network management staff through automatic configuration
  • Simplifies your network operations, making a complex network perform like a "data utility"
  • Compatible with WaveSwitch 9200 Gigamodules

The WaveSwitch 9202 chassis part number is PTP702A.
The external redundant power supply is part number PTM702A.
