MODULARE ETHERNET-SWITCH ARCHITEKTUR MIT G.LINKS UND OHNE ADRESSIERUNG DER SCHNITTSTELLENMODULE

摘要

The Ethernet switch has a main stage (1) coupled to a management system (8) that is typically a CPU. This connects with a crossbar unit or G link handling a number of bus lines. The interface modules (2) have a first series of ports (5a,5b,5c,.) and a second series of ports (6a,6b,6c,.). The first port in the first series (51a,51b,51c,.) connect to interface modules (4) and switching control modules (3). The following ports in the first series connect with those in the second series.
