24-Port FE and 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with Two 10-GbE/HiGig+™ Ports
The BCM56112 is the fifth generation of the highly-integrated and cost-effective Broadcom StrataSwitch and StrataXGS product line in a single-chip solution, with 24 FE, two GbE, and two 10-GbE/HiGig+ uplink ports. 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 BCM5675/BCM5676 Switch Fabric via a backplane in a multislot redundant chassis system.
