Microsemi’s next-generation switch family delivers a comprehensive
end-to-end Carrier Ethernet solution.
Jaguar-1 (VSC7460) is a Carrier Ethernet switch that contains 24
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and four 10 Gbps XAUI Ethernet
ports. Optionally, two XAUI ports can support up to eight 2.5 Gbps
Ethernet ports.
LynX-1 (VSC7462) contains 12 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports
and four 10 Gbps XAUI Ethernet ports. Optionally, two XAUI ports can
support up to eight 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports.
The devices provide a rich set of Carrier Ethernet services, Ethernet
switching, and Ethernet transport features. Advanced TCAM-based
QoS processing using versatile content-aware processing (VCAP-II)
enables the delivery of differentiated services with per-service SLA
guarantees.
Comprehensive service and transport support is provided for networks
based on Provider Bridge (PB), Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB),
Provider Backbone Bridge with Traffi c Engineering (PBB-TE), and
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP) protocols.
For critical network timing applications, VSC7460 and VSC7462 use
VeriTime™, Microsemi’s patent-pending distributed timing technology
that delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing
implementation.
A powerful embedded MIPS processor, tightly integrated with Carrier
Ethernet switch functions, enables the implementation of Ethernet OAM,
VeriTime™, and switch management using a single device, eliminating
the need for an external processor in many cases.
A comprehensive application programming interface (API) and software
package are provided for switch applications. The software package
integrates easily with third-party software, preserving existing software
investments while adding new, enhanced carrier functionality.
The Microsemi Carrier Ethernet family also includes two pin-compatible
MACs, VSC7364 and VSC7366, for aggregation applications requiring
hierarchical traffi c management and the advanced features of a Carrier
Ethernet switch.
