Accton Selects Intel Media Switch Device for Turnkey Ethernet-Switching Solutions.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 19, 2002 Accton Technology Corp. has selected Intel(R) Media Switch silicon as the switching engine for two of its new turnkey Ethernet systems for OEMs. These systems, which also include Intel(R) Flash Memory and Ethernet PHYs, offer cost-effective Ethernet switching solutions that networking equipment vendors will brand and sell through their channels to medium and large enterprises. The Accton 24-port 10/100 Ethernet Routing Switch is based on the Intel(R) Media Switch IXE (Internet EXchange Engine) See IXA. 2424 10/100+Gigabit Device, a Layer 2-4 switching chip that supports quality of service and security, thereby reducing the cost and time typically required to develop high-bandwidth voice, video and data applications. The Accton 24-port 10/100 Ethernet Routing Switch provides two plug-in modules for Gigabit connectivity and is a multi-layer routing switch, combining the speed and low cost of a Layer-2 switch with Layer-3 routing capability. Accton also is using the Intel(R) Media Switch IXE5416 family of 16-port Gigabit devices in its Gigabit-Ethernet routing switches. The IXE5416 devices are cost-effective, high-port-density and highly integrated components that enable easy migration to Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop for less than $100 per port. The Accton Gigabit-Ethernet routing switches provide 12 fixed ports and two expansion slots to provide a solution that combines the speed and low cost of a Layer-2 switch with Layer-3-routing capability. Both of these new Ethernet-routing switches from Accton also provide comprehensive network management functions, such as STP STP or standard temperature and pressure, standard conditions for measurement of the properties of matter. The standard temperature is the freezing point of pure water, 0°C; or 273.15°K;. for standard bridging, GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol) A standard for registering a client station into a VLAN. See 802.1p. for VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network configuration, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. , RMON (Remote MONitoring) Enhancements to the management information base (MIB) structure used by the simple network management protocol (SNMP). In 1991, RMON added comprehensive network monitoring capabilities. and Web management. "Accton's selection of Intel communications building blocks illustrates the importance of helping equipment makers to deliver feature-rich solutions with accelerated time to market," said Jonathen Cheng, vice president of marketing at Accton. "With products based on Intel(R) Media Switch Devices, we offer our customers proven Layer 2/3/4 10/100 and Gigabit technology along with our value-added features to deliver customized solutions." Irvine-based SMC Networks will be one of the first companies to offer Accton's new Intel Media Switch-based products. Intel, the world's largest chipmaker chip·mak·er n. A manufacturer of electronic and integrated circuit chips. , is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products.
