Cajun A500 ATM Switch

Overview

The Cajun A500 provides intelligent broadband transport for LAN switches, routers,

hosts (both servers and endstations), voice switches (PBXs), video communication

systems, multimedia servers, and other devices in a campus backbone. The Cajun A500

supports multiple network services, including data, voice, and video communications

and delivers multiple Quality of Service (QoS) levels to facilitate these services.

This release of the Cajun A500 ATM Switch provides:

U High-speed internetworking for either conventional layer two and layer three over

ATM configurations, such as IP over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), or LAN

Emulation (LANE).

U Connectivity for LAN switches, routers, and servers.

The Cajun A500 is intended to provide a lower cost per port, compact chassis design than

ATM switches designed primarily for enterprise WAN or carrier applications. These

switches tend to have redundancy, port fanout, service adaptation (frame relay-to-ATM

interworking or integrated circuit emulation services, for example), and buffering

features not needed in a campus networking product.
