The BCM56514 is a single-chip solution with 24-GbE ports and four 10 GbE/HiGig+ uplink ports. for applications such as policy-based routing, access control list, and dynamic adaptation to changes in virus threats. The BCM56514 has dedicated ContentAware classification processors to provide both classification and filtering. The BCM56514 incorporates 24-GbE ports that can operate at 10/100/ 1000 Mbps. The uplink ports can operate in two modes: 10-GbE switching mode and HiGig+ uplink mode. The integrated 10-GbE switching ports are CX-4 compliant XAUI™ interfaces. The HiGig+ uplink interface is used to connect to other StrataXGS devices in a larger stacking system or to the BCM56700/BCM5675 switch fabric via a backplane in a multislot redundant chassis system. The BCM56514 has built-in security functions for highly-secure Enterprise networks including BroadShieldTM. Utilizing hardware-based identity management and authentication coupled with key management software that directs and manages clients, BroadShield Security provides exceptionally strong network security without impacting network performance. With high integration and high-port density, the BCM56514 family is ideal for Enterprise applications in standalone, stackable, and chassis configurations applicable in the edge, aggregation, and core areas of the Enterprise. The BCM56514 is also ideal for embedded switch applications like Blade Server Switch, ATCA chassis, IPDSLAM, 3G Wireless Base Station, and others. The BCM56514 integrates sophisticated advanced L3 switching features for cost-effective highly manageable enterprise networks. The BCM56514 performs IPv6 routing and transition services in hardware, allowing IT managers to deploy L3 switches that are future-proof, highly manageable L3 networks to enable cost-effective transition from IPv4 to IPv6. The ContentAware classification feature of the StrataSwitch and StrataXGS has been further enhanced in the BCM56514 with unmatched flexibility and programmability. The ContentAware engine can be used The BCM56514 integrates sophisticated metering, statistics, and traffic management features, optimizing the QoS in the Enterprise networks for voice, video, and data convergence. The BCM56514 also provides rateadjustable, hardware-based sFlow implementation and flexible multiplesession remote port-mirroring functionality for efficient network management. The BCM56514 switch supports an I2C controller for communicating with external devices such as serial EEPROM, flash PROM memories, and parallel port devices. The BCM56514 also supports a serial interface for the MII management of physical layer devices. The BCM56514 switch interfaces to a host CPU via a 32-bit PCI bus running at up to 66 MHz. Bus mastering and advanced DMA is supported for efficient exchange of packet data between CPU memory and the BCM56514 switch.
