48-GbE Port + Optional 2-GbE Port Highly Integrated Multilayer Switch SoC
The BCM53718 series is a complete L2 SoC solution for easy and rapid development of Gigabit switching applications. The BCM53718 series uses a WebSuperSmart graphical user interface (GUI) for system configuration of supported features. The BCM53718 integrates 48 configurable 1-Gbps ports or 10-Mbps/100-Mbps Ethernet ports, with the BCM53718S adding support for two Gigabit uplink ports.
The BCM53718 series is a highly integrated solution ideally suited for stand-alone Gigabit Ethernet switches. It combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system, including packet buffers, SerDes, media access controllers, address management, a non-blocking switch fabric, and integrated high-performance CPU into a single 0.13 μm CMOS device. The BCM53718 series supports auto-DoS attack prevention and SNMP, IEEE 802.1x, Spanning Tree, and Rapid Spanning Tree protocols.
