High performance with easy migration paths and comprehensive System Solutions enableing ultra-short time-to-market and market leading system cost. A Vitesse Switch Family Member Stapleford is a part of the Vitesse London Family Of Switches. With its high port density of 24 tri-speed ports, it is specifically targeted at desktop and medium business applications. Being a member of the switch family provides a number of unique advantages when designing with the chip, including nearly 100% software compatibility between members. Thus, software written for Stapleford can easily be used with other switch configurations in the family, and vice-versa. Designing both unmanaged and managed solutions is straightforward. The chips offer both serial and parallel CPU interfaces, and support a host of management protocols such as GxRP, SNMP, and three flavors of Spanning Tree: Standard STP, Multiple STP, and Rapid STP. Gaining control with networks operated by the Vitesse switches is simple; advanced Layer 2-4 classification, plus shaping and policing functionality, along with port authentication support, provide flexible QoS operation. This is backed up by link aggregation and VLAN support, enabling advanced techniques such as “802.1Q-in-802.1Q” to be deployed. Additionally, OAM is supported for designing switch products for Ethernet in the MAN. Designing with Vitesse London Family Of Switches means designing with the whole Vitesse Solution: Additionally, building a product family is easy when designing with Vitesse switches. Migrating designs to other port counts or other configurations, or to future technology, is achievable with minimum effort and time. The outstanding Vitesse web managed switch software system that runs on a standard 8051 controller, is provided. This is in addition to the unmanaged and smart managed software systems for 8051, which are also included. For homegrown software development our full switch API is supplied. The Vitesse London Switch Family Stapleford, as part of the Vitesse London Family Of Switches, shares the unique traits of the family. Accompanying the software systems are the Vitesse Switch Reference Systems. These are production-ready hardware designs that also serve as evaluation platforms for our switches. The highly integrated switches require no external memory at all, and the use of Reduced Mode interfaces (RGMII and RTBI) simplifies PCB layout to reduce time and cost. Further trimming down system cost is the persistently low power dissipation of the family. The Vitesse Solution is supplied with a comprehensive collateral package, which includes software source code, full documentation, and an in-depth qualification report for easy pre-evaluation.
