RedFox-subsea switch


Network redundancy

The RedFox-subsea switch supports network redundancy based on Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).  

Multicast filtering

High multicast load is handled by the IGMP snooping feature of the RedFox-aircraft-Internal-24 switch.  IGMP version 1, 2 and 3 are supported.  The bulk join property of IGMP version 3 reduced the IGMP control packet load significantly.  Thus, up to 500 multicast groups can be handled by the RedFox-subsea switch.

Switch management

Management of the RedFox-subsea switches is easy and is done by the user in the Windows based IP Configuration tool from OnTime, CLI SSH or via SNMP. The IP configuration tool is free and any of the Ethernet ports can be used for this purpose. Thus, no serial port is required for setting the IP address of the RedFox-subsea switches.  

Quality of service

Excellent real time properties are offered through both layer 2 and layer 3 priority support, where high priority packets are served based on strict priority scheduling.  Layer 2 priority is achieved based on the principles defined in IEEE802.1p and Layer 3 is based on pre-defined IP ToS settings.


Ports and connectors

The RedFox-subsea contains 8 x 10/100BASE-TX copper ports with Mighty Mouse connectors and 2 x 100BASE-FX single mode fiber ports of 38999 type.  The fiber transceivers can be for fiber length of 15, 40, 85 or 110km.

Environmental requirement

The RedFox-aircraft-Internal-24 complies to:
 - Climatic tests according to MIL-STD 810C
 - Mechanical tests according to MIL STD 810C and other subsea relevant standards
 - EMC tests according to MIL-STD 461 E
 - Power: 28VDC with reverse polarity protection
