Extreme Engineering Solutions, Inc. (X-ES) 3U VPX PCI Express Gen3 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Integrated Switch with XMC Support XChange3021

The XChange3021 is a conduction- or air-cooled, 3U OpenVPX™ integrated switch module supporting both PCI Express and Ethernet protocols. The integrated PCI Express and Ethernet switch functionality allow XChange3021 to serve as the heart of inter-board communications inside a high-end OpenVPX™ system. The XChange3021 supports x4 width Gen3 (backwards compatible with Gen1 and Gen2) PCI Express links between up to 6 slots in an OpenVPX™ backplane to facilitate high-bandwidth, memory mapped communications between the payload boards. An optional x8 PCI Express link to an XMC site allows for onboard I/O and protocol expansion. The XChange3021 has orderable options supporting a SOSA-aligned pinout compatible with SLT3-SWH-6F8U-14.4.1 5. The XChange3021’s Ethernet switch supports various configurations of up to ten 10 Gigabit or Gigabit Ethernet ports. The Ethernet switch supports jumbo packets up to 12 kB, IPv6, Energy Efficient Ethernet™ (EEE), and a comprehensive set of IETF RFCs and IEEE protocols. The XChange3021 also supports compliance with the VICTORY specification as an Infrastructure Switch and Router. When configured as a fully managed Layer 2 switch, support for features such as fast boot, flow control, MAC bridging (IEEE 802.1D), port mirroring, port authentication (IEEE 802.1x), VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q), Quality of Service (QoS), GVRP, MVRP, port and protocol classification (IEEE 802.1v), GARP, MRP, GMRP, MMRP, LACP, RMON, STP, RSTP, MSTP, RPVST+, AgentX, and IGMP are included. When configured as a Layer 3 router, support for Multicast and Unicast Routing features such as DVMRP, IGMP, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, MLD, RIP, BGP, OSPFv2/OSPFv3, and VRRP are added.
