Overview of the Passport 1000
The Passport* 1000 Series of routing switches from Nortel Networks represents
state-of-the-art technology in high-performance networking: the performance of
ultra high-speed packet forwarding combined with the control of Internet
Protocol (IP) and IPX (Internet Packet Exchange) routing. By delivering
extensive bandwidth, intelligence to minimize the impact of broadcast traffic,
and support for low-latency, time-sensitive multimedia applications, Passport
routing switches provide a foundation for future network needs.
By offering Gigabit Ethernet, conventional 10 Megabits per second (Mbps)
Ethernet and 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet technologies, Passport routing switches
provide a smooth migration path to Gigabit networking, while continuing to
support existing Ethernet and Fast Ethernet environments.
The Passport 1000 Series features three cost-effective configurations:
Passport 1200 Routing Switch (8-slot modular chassis)
The Passport 1200 is ideal for high-density backbone and server farm
applications. It can be configured with up to 12-Gigabit Ethernet ports, up to
96 autosensing 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet ports, ninety-six 100BASE-FX ports for
fiber connectivity, or with a combination of the three technologies. For
enhanced reliability, the Passport 1200 switch can be equipped with redundant
power, redundant gigabit links (LinkSafe), and redundant switch fabric modules.
All modules are hot swappable.
Passport 1100 Routing Switch (Standalone unit)
The Passport 1100 is ideal for the backbone switch of medium-size businesses,
power workgroups, and small server farms. Supporting Gigabit Ethernet,
100BASE-FX, or additional 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports, the Passport 1100 base
unit includes 16 autosensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports with two built-in
expansion slots for field-installable modules. The 1100 can be equipped with
redundant power and LinkSafe. All modules are hot swappable.
Passport 1150 Routing Switch (Standalone unit)
The Passport 1150 is ideal for the backbone switch of medium-size businesses and
small server farms. Supporting 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, 100BASE-FX, or Gigabit
Ethernet additional ports, the Passport 1150 base unit includes 4-Gigabit
Ethernet ports with two built-in expansion slots for field-installable modules.
The 1150 can be equipped with redundant power and LinkSafe. All modules are hot
swappable.
