and Spanning Tree
Transceivers–lowering overall system
interoperability and reliability risks.
Flexible interfaces support a wider variety of
application needs–fiber for long distances or an
additional 100TX port.
Sufficient address range handles all remote office,
branch office and home office needs.
Flexible architecture enables high engineering leverage
when designing multiple platforms.
CPUs are not required to initialize and run in cost-
sensitive unmanaged applications–providing true
Plug and Play connectivity.
Very low power and small footprint enables more cost-
effective system options.
Ability to gather and support basic management
statistics using a very low-cost microcontroller.
Low-cost management using the on-chip MIB registers
allows the collection and transmission of statistics for
each port and allows an upward migration path for
corporate users.
On-chip HP auto-MDI/MDIX feature automatically
detects and corrects for crossover cables and allows
direct switch-to-switch connection.

The Broadcom
BCM5317
device is a highly integrated solution.
It combines all the functions of a high-speed switch
system–including packet buffer, PHY transceivers, media access
controllers, address management and a non-blocking switch
fabric–into a single 0.22um CMOS device. It complies with the
IEEE 802.3, 802.3u and 802.3x specifications, including the
MAC control PAUSE frame and auto-negotiation subsections,
providing compatibility with all industry-standard Ethernet and
Fast Ethernet devices.
This device contains eight full-duplex 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Fast Ethernet transceivers, each of which performs all of the
physical layer interface functions for 10BASE-T Ethernet on
Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable and
100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet on Category 5 UTP cable.
Even though this device is primarily targeted for the cost
sensitive unmanaged market, very low cost management can also
be provided utilizing the proprietary MIB Autocast™ function.
MIB Autocast encapsulates the on-chip MIB statistics and sends
them out automatically on a predefined port (or ports) at
programmed intervals. This feature eliminates the need for a
costly CPU and simplifies the management interface.
Using this mode, the
BCM5317
periodically transmits a legal
Ethernet frame on a designated port. The frames can be
intercepted by an external management probe or a dedicated
network management application, resident on any node within
the network. This function requires only a small, low-cost
microcontroller to initialize and configure the device.
The
BCM5317
provides an on-chip MIB statistics register to
collect, receive, and transmit statistics for each port. Additionally
it provides direct hardware support for the EtherLike MIB,
Bridge MIB, MIB II (interfaces) and the first four groups of the
RMON MIB. All nine groups of RMON can be supported by
using additional capabilities, such as port mirroring/snooping,
together with an external microcontroller to process some MIB
attributes. The MIB registers can be accessed through the serial
management port by an external microcontroller.
