features:
• Wire-speed, port-to-port, packet transfer
• Single-slot design to fit into the Centillion 50/100 chassis
• Autonegotiation of Ethernet 10/100 Mb/s speed
(EtherSpeedII 10/100BASE-T switch module only)
• Layer 2 MAC address-based switching
• Local frame switching, module-to-module switching, backplane switching,
and riser switching
• 200 MHz RISC processor
