The Cisco PA-A6 Series Enhanced ATM Port Adapter (Part Number: PA-A6-E3-RF) provides a robust solution for enhancing network capabilities while integrating into broader ATM systems. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this port adapter supports E3 data rates, making it ideal for service provider and enterprise environments requiring efficient ATM network access. The module adheres to industry standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Cisco platforms, including the Cisco 7200 and 7500 series routers. It is primarily intended for environments handling large data loads, ensuring reliable performance under intensive conditions.
This expansion module offers optimized bandwidth management through cell switching and cell relay support, enabling efficient transfer of ATM cells while maintaining high packet integrity. It incorporates advanced traffic management features that allow prioritisation of traffic, based on QoS policies, which results in enhanced performance and reduced latency for critical applications. Additionally, the adapter supports traffic shaping, policing, and traffic scheduling to balance workload under heavy usage.
The module uses an Advanced Performance Monitoring (APM) system for real-time performance tracking, especially in complex networking scenarios where uptime and data accuracy are critical. This monitoring feature ensures that operators can quickly identify abnormal network behaviours and adjust settings as necessary to maintain high performance levels. Furthermore, this product utilises Rate Queueing, a feature designed to maintain optimal traffic flow and manage congestion, making it particularly effective for high-traffic networks.
The Cisco PA-A6 series adapter also boasts a flexible architecture. This allows for scalable growth, ensuring that while immediate network demands are met, the system is future-proofed for expanding data requirements.
