Bolero 2.0 User Manual
2.7 Switch Recommendations
This page describes all technologies that are needed for Bolero traffic and describes a simple network classification
that can be used to specify the switch that you need to choose.
After reading these pages, you should be able to determine, if a switch is suitable for Bolero by looking at
the spec sheet. If you classify the network you are building, choosing a switch can be done without
excessive testing.
The Bolero System needs the following key technologies supported by the switch fabric:
PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at)
Required to power the device without external PSU.
·
Provides up to 30 W of power per port
·
Antenna can be powered from the switch
Please note that the most switches do not power
all ports simultaneously. The power supply limits
the total power.
When using Power over Ethernet use
PoE+ switches only.
IGMP snooping (v2)
Required on every switch.
·
Multicast traffic only reaches ports that
explicitly ask for it
·
Also prevents Artist CPU card from being
flooded with Bolero traffic
Please note the limit of Multicast groups of a
switch. Bolero needs 6+[amount of Beltpacks]
Multicast groups (example: 42 Beltpacks require
48 Multicast groups). Cascading of switches does
not raise the system limit. The lowest supported
number in the complete system is the limit.
