VP6ANSI/8801 is a China local design VPX Switch, compliant with ANSI/VITA 46.0, ANSI/VITA 48, and VITA 65 specifications. The profile of the VP68801 is SLT6-SWH-16U20F-10.4.2, which uses Gb Ethernet for the control plane and SRIO as the data plane. It is mainly applicable for high-speed data exchange and routing among different types of payload boards in a VPX chassis. The switching board is designed in 6U VPX form factor, supporting both traditional air-cooled and conduction-cooled versions. With reliable anti-shock and vibration capability, excellent heat dissipation performance and unique environment protection design, the board can be stably operated in the wide temperature environment of -40°C to +85°C.
The VP68801 integrates Ethernet and SRIO data exchange and routing functions, adopts sixteen 1000Mb Base-BX (SGMII) Ethernet interfaces as a control plane; in addition, it adopts twenty x4 SRIO 2.1 ports as the data exchange plane, plus it has four 10Gb fiber Ethernet ports on the front panel. All of these make it an outstanding product with comprehensive integration, easy maintenance and ease of use; and improve the reliability and applicability of equipment. VP68801, as a system switching board, can be inserted into system switching slots in many “star” topologies, such as Single-Star Topology or Dual-Star Topology architectures.
The SRIO high-speed serial bus serves as the system data plane, supporting a maximum of 6.25Gbps speed rate transmission. The SRIO switch routing table can be compiled through software; at the same time, the table supports flexible configurations through EEPROM in-line upgrades. LinkedHope has developed management software for the SRIO switching, the software can flexibly manage the port configuration, routing load and other information of the switching board.
Gigabit Ethernet, serving as the system control plane, is used for application software control information and other data interaction of payload boards in the system, supporting full management L2/L3 Ethernet switching, and is compliant with ARP, ICMP, OSPF, RIP, VRRP, DVMRP routing protocols. The VP68801 supports IPv6, VLANs, QoS, Flow control and other functions. The VP68801 also supports SNMP, command line and WEB page management. The front panel of the module has four 10Gb SFP+ optical fiber interfaces, which can be used as up-link ports of a system or data interconnection between different kinds of chassis.
Target applications of VP68801 include:
Radar, sonar and other signal processing systems; outdoor data communication system and high intensity data computing system; outdoor video and multimedia processing systems.
