(COMTEX) B: Asante Ships Flagship Gigabit Ethernet Routing Switch Establ B: Asante Ships Flagship Gigabit Ethernet Routing Switch Establishes New Levels of Price/Performance for Gigabit Ethernet Routing SAN JOSE, CA, Feb. 19, 2003 (INTERNET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Asante Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: ASNT) today announced 2 new 16-port Gigabit routing switches that make deploying wire-speed, non-blocking routed Gigabit Ethernet backbones extremely cost-effective. "The highly integrated IntraCore 35516 system resets the price point for Layer 3 switches with the same features," said Wilson Wong, Asante Chairman, President, and CEO. "These switches are ideal for organizations that operate web-based, multimedia, and high-performance networks, such as higher education, scientific research, and public services. They're also perfect for network data centers." High-Performance, Flexible Switches at a Lower Cost The IntraCore(R) 35516 features 16 non-blocking Gigabit Ethernet ports, wire-speed routing, the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) router protocol, multicast routing, 8 hardware level priority queues, 4000 Virtual LANs (VLANs), double 802.1q VLAN tagging, 2000 multicast groups, and 16,000 routing tables. The new IC35516 Layer 2/3/4 Gigabit Ethernet backbone switches can be tailored with hardware and software to precisely match an enterprise's network needs. By using Layer 3 routing with the IC35516, users can subnet a standard IP network into multiple subnets. With 16 ports of Gigabit Ethernet offered in a single flexible design, the cost of ownership is reduced considerably by using mix-and-match GBIC/copper ports. By using a single-chip state-of-the-art architecture with shared memory, wire speed switching at Layer 2 and Layer 3 routing is achieved on all ports. Key features include: - High-port count Gigabit solution for Layer 2 switching, Layer 3 IP routing, and Layer 2/3/4 packet filtering comes in 2 designs-- - 12 port GBIC for fiber backbones with 4 ports auto selectable GBIC/1000BaseT copper (IC35516-G) - 12 ports 10/100/1000BaseT with 4 ports auto-selectable GBIC/1000BaseT copper (IC35516-T) - Supports Layer 3 routing for IP with Router Standby Protocol, Router Discovery Protocol, RIP I/II, OSPF, and multicast routing - Jumbo Packet: supports frames up to 16384 bytes - Security: port based, station detection, duplicate IP address - Lower power consumption for greater reliability - Redundant power supply provides optional power as an emergency backup Pricing and Availability Asante resellers and systems integrators are offering these new products now: - IntraCore 35516-G. 12-port GBIC and 4 dual-function ports GBIC/1000BaseT copper; Layer 2/3/4.
