First, it fits right into your
existing Ethernet network by
providing optimized 10/100
Mb/s switched Ethernet
services. You simply choose
the modules that fit your
configuration requirements. A
single MultiSwitch 700 chassis
supports up to five interface
modules, as well as two
load- sharing, redundant
power supplies.
All modules interface with a
technology-independent back-
plane to allow for seamless
connectivity within the chassis.
The backplane is a non-block-
ing frame transfer matrix, and
each interface module has a
separate, independent back-
plane connection to every
other module in the chassis.
This allows for backplane
bandwidth capacity in excess
of 16.5 Gb/s. In addition,
thanks to technology indepen-
dence, this backplane can not
only eliminate bottlenecks
using today’s technology, but
by simply adding modules, you
can easily evolve the system to
support higher speeds as your
network demands increase.
Like other MultiSwitch sys-
tems, the backplane is a
passive design, with all active
components built into the
interface modules. In fact,
each module is equipped with
its own ASIC-based switching
engine, as well as an Intel
™
i960 microprocessor for man-
agement. As a result of this
distributed approach, adding
more modules both increases
aggregate system performance,
and simultaneously increases
fault tolerance. That way,
you’re safeguarded against
the possibility of a backplane
failure as you grow.
Extend your reach with
built-in high-speed uplinks
While delivering high-density
Ethernet switching for depart-
ment LANs, the MultiSwitch
™
700 also provides uplinks to
Fast Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, and
Gigabit Ethernet backbones, as
well as to wide area networks
(WANs).
Selected switching modules
can be configured with Fast
Ethernet uplinks, which allow
Full Duplex Fast Ethernet
connectivity to either local
servers or the network back-
bone. Other switching modules
accept optional high-speed
uplinks for high-performance
backbone connectivity to
FDDI, ATM, Fast Ethernet,
Gigabit Ethernet, or WAN
environments.

Performance and value in one powerful system
This standards-based system
provides a high-speed,
technology-independent
switching backplane that
delivers bandwidth of up to 16.5
Gb/s. Thanks to its distributed,
modular architecture, switching
performance scales as modules
are added, with 10/100 Ethernet
switching throughput over
10,000,000 pps. So you can
satisfy even your most demand-
ing power users. Yet, with its
efficient design your cost per
port remains among the lowest
in the industry.
The MultiSwitch 700—a
winning combination of
performance and value.
Grow aggressively and safely
The modular design of the
MultiSwitch 700 system lets
you grow and adapt your
network environment as your
needs change, while ensuring
reliable performance.
If you’re looking for a high-density wiring closet solution,
optimized for a 10/100 Mb/s Ethernet environment, then
look no further than the MultiSwitch 700. Here’s the
perfect balance of performance, functionality, and value—-
providing the enhanced capabilities you need today, with
the flexibility to adapt to tomorrow’s technology.
