Abstract
The telco-grade server/Ethernet network switch is the most compacted-size design with a 1.5 U or 2 U height chassis. A high-speed backplane to connect with all boards, including server/Ethernet switch board, LAN port interface board, power supply board, management board and fan module board and hot-swappable feature supported. Two equal switches are accommodated within chassis to perform two independent switches or one switch with telco-grade to meet high reliability request, such as 99.999% reliability.
Claims9
A telco-grade server/Ethernet network switch, comprising:
- a chassis with a high-speed backplane, wherein a height of the chassis is 2 U or 1.5 U;
- and
- a server/Ethernet switch-A and a server/Ethernet switch-B arranged in the chassis, wherein both the server/Ethernet switch-A and switch-B have same function, and can be set as two independent switches or a telco-grade server/Ethernet network switch with protective switch function,
- wherein the server/Ethernet switch-A further includes a LAN-A port interface board and a server/Ethernet switch-A board connected with the LAN-A port interface board through the high-speed backplane, and the server/Ethernet switch-B further comprises a LAN-B port interface board and a server/Ethernet switch-B board connected with the LAN-B port interface board through the high-speed backplane,
- wherein each of the LAN-A port interface board and the LAN-B port interface board includes a low-speed optical transceiver and a transmission pater selector,
- wherein when the server/Ethernet switch-A is fail, the LAN-A port interface board is switched to the server/Ethernet switch-B board.
