The Centillion-enabled System 5000BH
is available in two form factors:
• The 14-slot System 5000BH
LAN-ATM switch is designed for
deployment in ultra-high density
wiring closets and medium- to
large- network centers (see Figure
1). An additional Fast Ethernet
backplane can be added to the
chassis to support various non-
Centillion System 5000 modules,
creating a configuration known as
the System 5000BHC. Both chassis
configurations support up to
twelve 622 Mbps OC-12c or 48 155
Mbps OC-3c ATM ports, up to 240
switched, autosensing 10/100
Ethernet ports, and up to 240
switched 4/16/32 Mbps Token
Ring ports.
• The eight-slot System 5005BH
LAN-ATM platform delivers similar
functionality for lower-density
environments (see Figure 1),
and supports up to six 622 Mbps
OC-12c or 24 155 Mbps OC-3c
ATM ports, up to 120 switched,
autosensing 10/100 Ethernet ports,
and up to 120 switched 4/16/32
Mbps Token Ring ports.
Powerful, feature-rich switching
modules complete the Centillion
LAN-ATM solution. ATMSpeed
™
,
EtherSpeed
™
, and TokenSpeed
™
modules are available in a variety of
flexible configurations, providing
support for all commonly used physical
media. All Centillion switching modules
feature powerful on-board processing
and full local switching, guaranteeing
consistently high performance in the
densest chassis configurations.
Centillion LAN-ATM switches require
at least one Master Control Processor
(MCP) module running Centillion
Switching Software for system activation.
All MCP modules deliver full switching
functionality to preserve the utility of
every chassis slot.
Centillion switches operate in any
standards-based networking environment,
and feature advanced ATM Forum
LAN Emulation (LANE), Quality of
Service (QoS), Interim Interswitch
Signaling Protocol (IISP), Private
Network-Network Interface (PNNI)
and MPOA implementations. When
combined with Bay Networks
Centillion 1000 ATM multiservice
switches, BN
®
(Backbone Node)
routers, Bay Networks Multimedia
networking solutions, and MX ATM
WAN Access platforms, the Centillion
LAN-ATM switches contribute to the
industry’s most complete ATM
enterprise networking solution.
BENEFITS
Unparalleled LAN-ATM Integration
Adding the powerful capabilities
of Centillion solutions to existing
Ethernet and Token Ring LANs
dramatically enhances network
performance. The distributed switching
capabilities and interface density of
EtherSpeed and TokenSpeed modules,
combined with the powerful and
proven Centillion LAN-ATM switching
fabric, eliminate the design constraints
and data bottlenecks typical of legacy
networking systems.
Centillion LAN-ATM switching delivers
the industry’s most comprehensive
LAN Emulation implementation.
Centillion LANE provides straightforward
and highly interoperable connectivity
of LAN-attached desktops, file servers,
and routers into high-performance
ATM networks. Ethernet and Token
Ring LANE clients and fault-tolerant
cooperating LANE services are
supported with minimal management
intervention. If LANE services or an
