ATCA 40GbE switches are based on the Broadcom Trident 2+
VadaTech has announced two new ATCA 40GbE Switches (ATC804 and ATC803) based on the Broadcom Trident 2+ switch with an aggregate switching throughput of 1.2 TBit. The ATC804 switch has a simplified architecture, combining the base and fabric switches into a single switch with VLAN separation, thus improving reliability and reducing complexity of the solution. The switch provides dual 100GbE high speed ports, 16 SFP+ and 8 RJ45 ports.
SyncE and IEEE 1588 are also supported. Zone 3 connectivity for additional egress via an RTM is also provided.
The ATC803 has a Layer 3 managed 40GbE switch that routes 13 ports to each of the Fabric and Base Channels, two ports to the Update Channel, dual 100GbE ports to the front panel via zQSFP+ (QSFP28), 8 ports to SFP+, 4 QSFP+ and 8 ports to RJ-45 (10/100/1000Base-T).
The software features provided include Spanning Tree (+ Rapid), VLANs, GMRP, GVRP, Port Authentication, IGMP/Snooping Proxy, and Multi-cast Listener Discovery. Each Fabric port is capable of being configured as a single 40GbE/10GbE or four 10GbE.
