Description
The VadaTech VPX007 is a versatile 10GbE VPX switch with optional Tier-2 support for health management and features a total of 24 Ports of 10GbE. The unit can be configured to have all 10GbE Ports routed to the front panel with P1, P2, P3 and P4 unpopulated, or to have 10GbE Ports routed to the backplane as well as the front panel. The board provides up to a total of x16 10GbE to the backplane (x4 10GbE going to each of P1/P2/P3/P4).
The optional health management uses software based on VadaTech’s robust Carrier Manager and Shelf Manager which have been deployed for years with proven results. The Module can also run as the shelf manager within the system.
The MCMC manages the Power Modules, Cooling Units, and up to 12 payload modules within the chassis.
The Ethernet switch is managed with an enterprise grade Layer 2 switching/routing stack which supports Synchronous Ethernet.
The unit runs Linux on its centralized quad-core CPU and is fully redundant when used in conjunction with a second instance of the module. The firmware is HPM.2 compliant which allows for easy upgrades.
VPX007 provides Master JTAG services to the payload modules via the JSM and has advanced clocking features including grand master clock and high-quality clock distribution/synthesis.
