“Initial configuration via the IntraCore’s command

line interface is simple; we got the switch up and

running in minutes. Its web interface is fast,

organized, and easy to navigate. And its

port-based flow control with eight priority levels and

easy-to-set MAC address-based security helps keep

network intruders at bay.”

PRODUCT LINE GUIDE

Rock Solid Reliability

Managing an enterprise network can be a thankless job. When everything’s working like a

well-oiled machine, it’s easy to overlook the results of your detailed planning, intelligent

network architecture and flawless execution. However, once a high-profile user runs into a

problem—expect your phone to be ringing until the issue is resolved to his satisfaction.

From the small remote office to the multi-thousand node campuses, our customers have

depended on Asante networking products to perform flawlessly, 24/7 for the past 15 years.

Intelligently Designed

Pick any IntraCore switch and you’ll see why Asante is the choice for demanding

users—and network managers. Take our IC35160-T, a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch.

Each RJ45 port not only handles up to 2000 Mbps (1000 Mbps transmit, 1000 Mbps

receive) at wire speeds with no blocking, they also support Auto-Uplink™ (AU) so

common wiring mistakes, like crossover (MDI-X), can be quickly detected and

automatically fixed.

Ports 13-16 are special on the IC35160-T. Each is paired with an industry-standard

GBIC port to accommodate a fiber Gigabit module (1000BaseSX or 1000BaseLX). For

greater reliability, run both copper (RJ45) and fiber (GBIC) cables to the same port

numbers; in the event of a fiber link failure, the IntraCore switch’s Auto-Failover™ (AF)

service will immediately route traffic to the copper port.

The front-mounted console port is handy for initial configuration (setting up the unit’s IP

address, password, etc.) and troubleshooting. On the rear, a port accepts an emergency

power supply (EPS) module for instant failover should the internal power supply fail.

Student-Proof Security

Employees are generally friendly, but IntraCore

switches have been installed in numerous schools

and universities where students regularly test

Asante’s integrated security suite (ISS) against

unauthorized users and even malicious tampering.

Each security policy can be individually enabled.

Integrated reports quickly produce alerts and graphs

to isolate potential trouble spots. If Asante can keep

students from logging on to a faculty network and

changing their grades, imagine the piece of mind we

can provide for your network.

Features and Benefits

As a pioneer of multiplatform hubs and switches,

IntraCore switches form a complete solution for the

most demanding network environments. Here’s why

so many organizations choose Asante for their

business-critical networks.

IntraCore Highlights

►Enterprise Class Feature Set

Supports industry-standard enterprise

management capabilities. 802.1q, VLANs,

SNMP, Telnet, RMON and more.

Benefits: IntraCore switches are easy to deploy in

large enterprise and campuses.

►Supports Data, Voice and Video over Ethernet/IP

Includes the capability to deliver voice over IP

and video over IP using 802.1p Quality of

Service and IGMP Multicast Pruning.

Benefits: The switches you install today for your

data network can also be used for advanced voice

and video applications in the future.

►Just One Vendor for Layer 2 Switching, Layer 3

IP Routing and 802.11b/g Wireless Networking

Asanté provides a complete solution for your

networking needs.

Benefits: Just one vendor for sales and

technical support. Avoid “finger pointing”

between multiple vendors.

►Unified 802.1x Authentication for Wireless and

Wired Users

With 802.1x and a RADIUS authentication server,

you can restrict network access only to

authenticated wireless and wired users through an

IntraCore 35160 Series switch.

Benefits: Control user access—not just network

ports.

►Simplified Troubleshooting

All IntraCore switches track both the IP address and

physical switch ports. To locate a target device, the

switch’s management utility identifies the physical

port—not just the MAC or IP address. You can even

locate multiple devices with duplicate IP addresses.

Benefits: Quickly identify and locate devices

on your physical network.

►Easily Manage Large Installations

Perform scheduled maintenance on hundreds of

IntraCore switches using the Asanté Enterprise

Device Manager. This Windows-based utility

handles image code updates, configuration file

backups and even inventory management.

Benefits: Save time by scheduling remote

maintenance tasks for all IntraCore switches.

►Simplified Parts Sparing

For mission-critical networks, just keep a few Asanté

IntraCore switches and GBIC modules on-site. In

the unlikely event of a failure, you can immediately

swap in a replacement unit. Many parts (esp. GBICs,

fiber ports and redundant power supplies) are

common to all IntraCore switches—minimizing the

number of extras you’ll need to keep.

Benefits: Minimize downtime and on-site spares

inventory.

►Low-Cost, Redundant Power Supply

IntraCore 3548/35160/35516 switches all support an

external power module to provide non-stop service

in the unlikely event of a main power supply failure.

This is especially important in aggregation switches

and edge switches that support voice services over

Ethernet/IP.

Benefits: Minimize downtime and improve network

uptime.

►Consistent Management Interfaces

All IntraCore Layer 2 switches (3524, 3548,

35160 Series) share the same telnet, web,

console, RMON and SNMP management

interfaces.

Benefits: Learn to manage one IntraCore switch and

you’re ready to manage all the rest.

►Consistent Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Interfaces

All IntraCore switches support the same

industry-standard Gigabit Interface Converter

(GBIC) module with the same SC-type connectors.

IntraCore switches can accept other GBIC

modules and most other switches can also use

the Asanté modules.

Benefits: Mix and match the exact GBIC modules for

single mode or multimode fiber.

►IntraCare 3 Year Service—Included!

Every IntraCore switch is backed by Asante’s best

warranty, support and service package. Everything

is covered (including toll-free telephone technical

support and software updates) for three full years.

Benefits: Save your money; no need to

purchase an expensive support contract.

►Outstanding Value

Asanté’s total cost of ownership is second to none.

Not only are the initial acquisition costs low, 3 years

of IntraCore services (included) represents and

excellent value. Asanté prices are typically 50% (or

more) lower than similar equipment from Cisco

Systems and others.

Benefits: Get exactly what you need at a price that

fits your budget.

Layer 3 Highlights

►Wire-Speed IP Routing

Receive, evaluate and route IP packets

between subnets at the fastest speeds.

Benefits: Your network core operates at the fastest

possible speeds.

►Industry-Standard Layer 3 Routing/Filtering

Complete feature set includes OSPF, DVMRP,

VRRP for standards-based routing.

Benefits: IntraCore 35516 switches/routers can

easily co-exist in a multi-vendor, standards-based

environment.

Flexibility to Meet Your Changing Needs

Your network may be running flawlessly today, but

can you be certain that it has the capability to meet

the changing needs of your users? IntraCore

switches support a rich set of multi-services for

multimedia—perfect for voice/IP and even video/IP.

AF (Auto-Failover), AU (Auto-Uplink), RPS (Redundant Power Supply), Integrated Security Suite (ISS)

Asante IntraCore switches deliver a rich feature set, high performance and low

cost of ownership.

•Standards-based solution for enterprise (LAN edge) and medium-sized

organizations (core and edge).

•Full-featured, high performance design that’s build for converged telephony,

video and data networks.

•Maximum configuration flexibility for the right mix of port counts, media type and
