Marvell Introduces 10-Port Gigabit Switch Chip

Marvell introduced a new 10-port Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switching chip featuring QoS and management features for SMB and SOHO networks. The chip includes Layer 2 security networking functions based on the MAC-based authentication protocol (IEEE 802.1X). With this feature, customers will be able to implement both the Port-Based Access Control specified under the standard, as well as maintain a specific-client MAC address authorization table for authenticating and authorizing only known clients to access the LAN. QoS features supported include IPv4 and IPv6 QoS and QoS packet classification (802.1p) with four priority queues.
