The NETernity™ GBX411 is a fully managed (Layer 2/3) 3U VPX Ethernet switch designed to meet the most demanding requirements for network switching in tactical applications. The GBX411 with its configuration options and OpenWare switch management software is designed to support new military applications and defense initiatives, and is switch compliant to the U.S. Army’s VICTORY requirements.
The switch is available in both air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions providing either twelve 1000BASE-T or twenty-four 1000BASE-KX Gigabit Ethernet ports plus four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports. Two of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports support 10GBASE-KX4 and are routed for rear I/O. The other two 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are available on the front panel supporting SFP+ 10GBASE-SR/LR/ER connections.
The ECC protection on the management processor memory offers higher reliability in harsh environments.
The GBX411 delivers full wire-speed switching that can be fully managed and easily deployed. Proven, high-performance architecture and a multilayer switching fabric provides a rich feature set, broad functionality, scalability, and product life longevity. Based on a PowerPC management processor and a leading high-performance switch fabric, the GBX411 has integratedLayer-2/3 switching capabilities as well as the ability to support higher Layer 4-7 functionality when required.
The switch management environment for the GBX411 is Abaco’s in-house developed and supported OpenWare™. OpenWare™ offers comprehensive management features forLayer 2/3 switching and routing. It provides support for a wide range of RFC’s and MIB’s with extensive capabilities for Multicast, Quality of Service, VLANs, and Differentiated Services. OpenWare can be modified to meet particular customer requirements.
OpenWare™ allows for a number of ways to manage the switch via serial console, SNMP, Telnet, SSH or Web Interface. The sanitization capability allows a user to overwrite non-volatile storage as required.
The GBX411 has built-in-test capability including Power-On-Bit, Continuous Bit and Initiated Bit. In addition precision time protocol 1588 transparent clock functionality is supported to enable local synchronization. IPMI 2.0 functionality is available allowing the board to be controlled by a system controller.
The GBX411 provides a migration path for Abaco’s GBX410. The configuration of the GBX411 with twelve (12) GigE ports (plus two 10GigE ports) offers the same hardware pinouts as the GBX410. In addtion, the GBX411 offers enhanced switch management software capabilities.
