25050 ETH2: Using Microchip Ethernet Switches to Provide Deterministic, Reliable, and Scalable Connectivity (August 2025)
In this class you will learn the fundamentals of Ethernet switches, the advantages of managed switches, and how Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards enhance network reliability and determinism, with hands-on experience configuring TSN switches using Switchdev for VLAN and Precision Time Protocol (PTP), and a live demonstration of iStaX for Time-Aware Shaping and redundancy protocols to improve industrial network performance.
Modern communications systems have converged on using Ethernet; providing scalable bandwidth, interoperability, and cost effectiveness. TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) extends the application of Ethernet by adding determinism and reliability. This class covers the fundamentals of Ethernet switches, the differences between managed and unmanaged switches, and the benefits of managed switches. You will learn about TSN and its application, relevant standards and their role in enhancing network reliability, determinism, and scalability. The hands-on session includes a practical demonstration of configuring a TSN switch using Switchdev for VLAN and Precision Time Protocol (PTP). The final segment introduces iStaX, a switch operating system for Time-Aware Ethernet, featuring a live demo on setting up PTP and using Time-Aware Shaping (TAS) and Redundancy Protocols. By the end of the class, participants will have an understanding of Ethernet TSN standards, practical experience in configuring Microchip switches, and the ability to apply TSN features to improve network performance in industrial applications.
Prerequisites:
Participants should have a basic understanding of Ethernet.
