IntraCore™ 3548-2GT Series
48-port 10/100 Managed Switch with Gigabit Uplinks
The IntraCore 3500 Series is Asanté’s most powerful, flexible family of
workgroup switches. Tailor this IntraCore switch with hardware and software
to precisely match your network needs—today and in the future.
Highlights
• Start with a base configuration of a 48-port 10/100 switch.
• For 10/100 desktop connection, your cost of ownership is reduced
considerably over using multiple 24 port 10/100 switches
• Choose from 2 different auto-selecting Gigabit Ethernet uplink’s
Dual copper (fixed RJ45) 10/100/1000BaseT
Or
Dual GBIC holders for Gigabit over fiber (requires appropriate
GBIC transceiver).
• Deploy QOS schedules and priorities (voice, video, audio, telephony)
throughout your network with multi-service technologies: IP multicast with
IGMP, IEEE 802.1p queues and 64 VLANs.
• Choose telnet, SNMP or web browser interfaces over in-band Ethernet or out-
of-band serial communications.
• Emergency backup, Redundant Power Supply provides optional 12VD
redundant power.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Dual-Chip Layer 2 Switch: Forwarding rate of 19 million packets per second at full wire speed over all network interfaces in a unit
12.8 Gbps switch fabric (per unit) minimizes blocking and latency
Coupled to embedded PowerPC RISC processor to handle advanced features
Runs cooler and more reliably than older, multi -chip designs
Extensible Platform: Choose from 2 popular Gigabit configurations with auto -selectable switching
Run multi-mode or singlemode fiber 1000 Mbps (1000BaseSX/LX) using GBIC transceivers
Run standard Category 5 UTP copper cables up to 100 meters at 1000 Mbps (1000BaseT)
Quality of Service: Multiple priority queues ensure mission critical applications get the bandwidth and priority they need:
- 4 transmit queues per 10/100 port
- 8 queues per gigabit port
- Priority allocated on a port basis using Weighted Fair Queue (WFQ)
- 2 packet dropping criteria using Weighted Random Early Detect (WRED)
Throughput is maintained—even under heavy traffic conditions
Multicast support: Internet group management protocol (IGMP) optimizes multicast bandwidth by allowing multicast traffic only to
registered users; minimizes denial of service attacks from unknown sources
Virtual LANs: Logically org anize nodes into 64 VLANs compliant with IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN Tagging
Overlapping VLANs are ideal for sharing and segmenting traffic and security
Total Cost of Ownership: Lowest acquisition cost for an enterprise-grade, workgroup switch
IntraCare: Free technical support and advanced warranty support for 3 years. Includes free telephone support, 24-hour support via
web and ftp, complete product warranty with 2nd business day (within US) advanced replacement and software maintenance
agreement.
AsanteCare: Optional extended technical support and product warranty for additional years.
Graphically monitor your network by using the software tools built into the IntraCore 3548
Dual-state status indicators clearly display Link/Speed or Duplex/Activity for each port
