Specifications of BCM56503B2KEBG

• Lead Free Status / RoHS Status: Compliant

The BCM56503 is the fifth generation of the highly integrated and cost-
effective StrataSwitch and StrataXGS product line. The BCM56503 is a
single-chip solution with 24 GbE ports and three 10-GbE/HiGig+ uplink
ports.
The BCM56503 incorporates 24 GbE ports that can operate at
10/100/1000 Mbps. 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.
With high integration and high port density, the BCM56503 family is
ideal for enterprise applications in stand-alone, stackable, and chassis
configurations applicable in the edge, aggregation, and core areas of the
enterprise. The BCM56503 is also ideal for embedded switch
applications such as the blade server switch, ATCA chassis, IPDSLAM,
3G wireless base station, and others.
The BCM56503 integrates sophisticated advanced L3 switching features
for cost-effective highly manageable enterprise networks. The
BCM56503 performs IPv6 routing and transition services in hardware,
allowing IT managers to deploy L3 switches that are future-proof, highly
manageable L3 networks that enable cost-effective transition from IPv4
to IPv6.

The ContentAware classification feature of the StrataSwitch and
StrataXGS has been further enhanced in the BCM56503 with unmatched
flexibility and programmability. The ContentAware engine can be used
for applications such as policy-based routing, access control list,
dynamic adaptation to changes in virus threats, and so on.
The BCM56503 has built-in security functions for highly secure
enterprise networks including BroadSAFE
identity management and authentication coupled with key management
software that directs and manages clients, BroadSAFE Security provides
exceptionally strong network security without affecting network
performance.
The BCM56503 integrates sophisticated metering, statistics, and traffic
management features, optimizing the QoS in the Enterprise networks for
voice, video, and data convergence. The BCM56503 also provides rate-
adjustable, hardware-based sFlow
multiple-session remote port-mirroring functionality for efficient
network management.
The BCM56503 switch supports a Broadcom Serial Control (BSC)
controller for communicating with external devices such as serial
EEPROM, flash PROM memories, and parallel port devices. The
BCM56503 also supports a serial interface for the MII management of
physical layer devices.
The BCM56503 switch interfaces to a host CPU via a 32-bit PCI bus
running at up to 66 MHz. Bus mastering and advanced DMA are
supported for efficient exchange of packet data between CPU memory
and the BCM56503 switch.
