The SwitchBlade
4004 provides power and control
redundancy, and allows a variety of linecards for flexibility of
use.The hospital adopted two switching control cards, and
the following three linecards for their connectivity needs:
•
AT-SB4442 - providing 24 (SFP) Gigabit copper or
fibre ports
•
AT-SB4352 - providing 32 100Base-FX fibre ports
•
AT-SB4311 - providing 48 10/100Base-TX copper ports
Rapier 24i (Centercom 8724XL) switches were introduced
at the edge to provide advanced Layer 3 switching features.
These advanced features support multicasting applications
such as streaming video, allowing for live video conferencing
between medical specialists and schools, and offer tiered
security providing controlled network access.The Rapier 24i
switches also create separate VLANs for different groups,
such as medical examination, office work, and patients.This
means controlled network access for each group, for
example the patient VLAN allows bedside internet services
for patients.
