XChange3012

The XChange3012 is a 3U conduction- or air-cooled VPX module that provides both PCI Express and Ethernet switches. The PCIe and Gigabit Ethernet fabrics provide switching for a star topology. The Ethernet fabrics allow VPX cards within the system to communicate and also have access to an outside local area network.

The XChange3012 supports an XMC interface via a PCI Express link capable of supporting up to 8 lanes. Dual 10/100/1000BASE-T rear I/O from the XMC are also routed directly to the XChange3012's Gigabit Ethernet switch. The XChange3012 can optionally support layer 2 or layer 3 management via a XMC 10/100/1000BASE-T interface. XMC RS-232 rear I/O can be brought out the P1 connector.

• One x4 PCI Express port to each of six VPX cards
• One 1000BASE-X Ethernet port to each of six VPX cards
• Two 1000BASE-X Ethernet ports for cascading or two 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet port for external I/O
• Supports one XMC slot with up to a x8 PCI Express Link
• Supports two 10/100/1000BASE-T and RS-232 XMC I/O
• Managed switch options via XMC (layer 2 or layer 3)
• IPv4 and IPv6 unicast routing support
