Quick Eagle 5842 Multiport Ethernet Bridge
The
Quick Eagle 5842 Multiport Ethernet Bridge is ideal for small and medium-sized
businesses, and their branch offices, which need a MAC leaning bridge (IEE
802.1d) that can extend the office LAN over the WAN.
With its two-port density (and scalable up to four ports), the 5842 Multiport
Ethernet Bridge delivers all the functions you need in this type of network
application: the ability to have geographically dispersed groups work seamlessly
together over a VLAN or private enterprise network. Along with IP, legacy LAN
Layer-3 traffic such as SNA®, DecNet® and IPX can transparently pass through the
5842 Multiport Ethernet Bridge.
The embedded network performance monitoring features (RMON-1, and Ethernet port
statistics) along with Frame Relay Service Level Verification (based on FRF.13)
provide additional layers of diagnostic tools for both the WAN and LAN
connections.
The 5842 Multiport Ethernet Bridge enables you to take advantage of the emerging
virtual LAN services offered by a number of carriers and service providers that
are migrating to an MPLS backbone, but use PPP or FR at the Provider Edge (PE).
Multilink PPP (RFC1990) or Multilink Frame Relay (FRF.16.1) protocols provide
the 5842 Multiport Ethernet Bridge with the capability to bond multiple T1/E1s
into a single high-speed virtual link to provide added bandwidth, up to 8 Mbps.
This technique is perfectly suitable for transmitting broadcast quality
real-time MPEG video streams in either a unicast (point-to-point) or multicast
(point-to-multi-point) network.
