Realtek RTL8326

The RTL8326 is a layer-2 switch controller that integrates 2.5Mbits of high-speed SSRAM, an 8K-entry MAC address lookup table, 24 Ethernet/Fast Ethernet MACs, two Gigabit Ethernet MACs, and a switch engine into one chip. The Remote Management Tool (RMT) software package is bundled with the RTL8326. The RMT is a Windows-based tool developed to enhance the functionality of Realtek’s dumb layer 2 switches via software.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The RMT gives network administrators the ability to remotely configure and monitor dumb layer 2 switches as though they were intelligent switches. With QoS, Trunking, VLAN, bandwidth control, remote control, and an 0.18µm process, the RTL8326 is a cost effective switch controller for a 24+2G dumb or smart switch application. Port trunking is supported on all ports to increase bandwidth. Load balancing and fault tolerance provide top performance and reliability. The RTL8326 provides 2-level priority queues for multimedia or realtime network applications. The CoS (Class of Service) can be port-based, IEEE 802.1p tag-based, and/or TCP/IP header TOS/DS field based. The RTL8326 supports up to 32 VLAN groups that may be configured as port-based VLANs and/or IEEE 802.1Q tagged VLANs. ARP broadcast and Leaky VLAN are also supported. The RTL8326 features a built-in PCS (Physical Coding Sublayer) to support a SERDES (serializer/deserializer) transceiver for Gigabit fiber applications.
