Technical Details for Microsens Multifunction Bridge

Microsens Multifunction Bridge ... port density in the distribution equipment by integrating two bridges per card.

When the card is configured correctly, the two bridges can be switched to one bridge for redundant connections. This means that important connections can be secured using this module without the need for such costly features as spanning trees. Two routes are possible via both, fiber and copper. Switching occurs physically by recognizing links.

An additional operating mode allows the card to be configured as a fiber/fiber bridge with the option of limiting bandwidth. Service providers can use this to release data rates to customers in a targeted way. If the customer is not prepared to pay for the maximum bandwidth or if a lower performance is sufficient they can make a targeted reduction. If migrations are completed later the required bandwidth of up to 100 Mbit/s is released by reconfiguration, it is not necessary to swap out the hardware. The copper connections can also be used as mirroring interfaces at the same time, e.g. for sniffer analyses.
