The BCM53125 is Broadcom's first inte-

grated multilayer switch to support the

IEEE 802.3az specification for Energy Effi-

cient Ethernet (EEE).

The BCM53125 is the optimal solution for

small and medium business designs that

have challenging low-power requirements.

Building upon industry-leading 65 nm

RoboSwitch™ architecture, the

BCM53125 can lower the power con-

sumption by an additional 10 percent

when compared to the previous-genera-

tion device.

The BCM53125 solidifies Broadcom’s

leadership in Ethernet switching techno-

logy by delivering an optimized solution for

the SMB desktop switch, wireless router,

and gateway markets.

The BCM53125 can interconnect with

other devices for scalable, high-perfor-

mance systems through multiple inter-

faces including RGMII, GMII, MII, and

Turbo MII.

Requirements such as video and Internet

Protocol (IP) phone services are driving

the need for QoS and adherence to indus-

try standards.

The BCM53125 supports four selectable

QoS per port, SP and WRR and any com-

bination of SP and WRR scheduling, port,

MAC, IEEE 802.1P, and IPv4/IPv6 DSCP-

based QoS. The BCM53125 also supports

IEEE 802.qat and IEEE 802.1aq.

The BCM53125 delivers the most compre-

hensive technologies required by top tier

service providers for gateway applica-

tions.

Protocols such as IEEE 802.1Q-based

VLAN with 4K entries, port-based VLAN,

VLAN double tagging (Q-in-Q), and VLAN

translation are fully supported.
