FocalPoint Ethernet Switch and Router Chip FamilyThe FocalPoint family comprises a complete range of full-featured, high-performance The FM2000 layer-2, and FM4000 multi-layer devices are available in a variety of port configurations with as many as 24 ports of full line rate switching and routing in a single, integrated device. Each FM2000 has a comparable, pin-compatible FM4000 device, enabling customers to offer a family of products with a range of features and price points, leveraging a single hardware design. The devices in the FM2000 and FM4000 series include
Notes:
FM2000 Series Layer-2 SwitchThe single-chip FM2000 devices deliver a robust set of switching capabilities including VLAN support, spanning tree, security, link aggregation, management, statistics and more. With an unprecedented level of integration, the FM2000 devices offer the most compact, lowest latency, power-efficient and cost-effective layer-2 Ethernet switching solutions available, making 10-Gigabit Ethernet ready for broad deployment – today. FM4000 Series IP v4/v6 RouterThe FM4000 devices build on the FM2000’s best-in-class, high performance, low latency Ethernet switch architecture by adding a comprehensive suite of Layer 3/4 TCP/IP features and advanced security, congestion management and system management capabilities. These switches contain all the features necessary to enable Ethernet as the single, converged datacenter fabric, transporting inter-processor, storage and networking traffic. Traffic classification, class-based congestion management, and sophisticated traffic policing and queue management mechanisms allow multiple traffic types to be classified and effectively processed on a prioritized basis. Advanced tag switching, L2/3/4 access control lists and other security features, IPv4 and IPv6 unicast and multicast and in-band management capabilities -- all while preserving extremely low 300ns latency -- contribute to provide a resilient, highly-scalable datacenter switch platform. FocalPoint Reference DesignsTo assist in evaluation and to accelerate design-in, Fulcrum offers fully-functional reference designs. Reno is a 24-port platform with 12 CX4 interfaces and 12 more that are optionally CX4, XFP or SFP+ interfaces. The Reno platform may be ordered with either the FM2224 or FM4224 chip inside, and is delivered with Fulcrum’s TestPoint test development software and ControlPoint software suite running on Linux ELDK. A complete platform hardware design kit is also available. Vegas showcases the virtues of the FocalPoint FM2112 and FM4112 1G Ethernet switch chip, offering 48 1GBaseT ports, plus up to 8 CX4 10G Ethernet ports in a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis. |
