Re: ASIC ?
Aplication Specific Integrated Circuit.. It's a chip that performs a certain task in a device.. >From the Cisco website Cat 3900 product info: The switching-fabric ASIC is responsible for managing the central shared-data buffer and its associated buffer table, which carries addressing information for the buffer. The 10 Gbps link between the switching-fabric ASIC and the shared-data buffer yields a 5 Gbps forwarding rate. The radial interconnect with network satellites minimizes the number of pins per data interconnection and distributes available bandwidth among the satellites. This design both maximizes reliability and lowers cost. A lot of vendors use ASICs because they perform their task quicker than software code relying on a central CPU and shared memory.. You could have an ASIC donig all the VPN encrypting/de-encrypting in a device and remove that burden from the CPU itself.. Hope that helps Russ..

Re: ASIC ?
ASIC's are found in a number of different companies and devices including switches, cameras probably cars and doors. Application Specific Integrate Circuit (ASIC). I a nutshell the Integrated Circuit is made for a specific function job not just a general IC such as a CPU or memory. This make the chip very mauch faster in performing its designed function. I think you'll find that's what it is.

RE: ASIC ?
Can I stop you all for a second? I think what John Lay is asking is what is the ASIC (which make, model, number) that is used in Cisco switches, not what does ASIC do? John?

Re: Earl ASIC unsupported error message on cat5509 [7:18048]
Did you check the catos version you put on ? This message make me think that the OS don't correspond to the hardware architecture (ASIC unsupported). EARL is (Enhanced Address Recognization Logic), this ASIC make the forwarding decision in the supervisor engine.
