VSC7438-02 Datasheet Summary
Jaguar-2
Family of Carrier Ethernet Switches
INTRODUCTION
The VSC7438-02 Serval-2™, VSC7464-02 LynX-2™, and VSC7468-02 Jaguar-2™ Carrier Ethernet switch family provides a rich set of Carrier Ethernet switching Features such as hierarchical QoS, hardware-based OAM (Ethernet and MPLS/MPLS-TP) and Service Activation Testing, protection switching, IEEE 1588, and Synchronous Ethernet. Using Provider Bridging (Q-in-Q) and MPLS/MPLS-TP technology, they deliver MEF CE 2.0 Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVCs) and feature advanced TCAM classification in both ingress and egress. Per-EVC Features include advanced L3aware classification, a rich set of statistics, OAM for end-to-end performance monitoring, and dual-rate policing and shaping.
The devices target IP Edge demarcation and aggregation equipment to deliver enterprise and mobile backhaul services. They are based on Virtualized Service Aware Architecture (ViSAA™), a silicon implementation that offers an unmatched level of Service Edge and Carrier Ethernet Networking Features
. ViSAA achieves wirespeed performance for even the most feature-rich Carrier Ethernet (CE) services. The devices also integrate VeriTime™, Microchip’s patent-pending timing technology that delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation to meet today’s LTE/ LTE-A requirements.
IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 (L3) routing is supported, with up to 4K IPv4 (1K IPv6) unicast LPM entries and 2K IPv4 (512 IPv6) L3 multicast groups. L3 security Features include source guard and reverse path forwarding (uRPF) tasks.
The devices contain a powerful 500 MHz MIPS-24KEc CPU enabling full management of the switch and advanced Carrier Ethernet applications.
The VSC7438-02 Serval-2™ device is a 32 Gbps Carrier Ethernet switch with up to 14 ports supporting...
