Preface
This user’s Manual is applied to the MILTECH-9012C/G Full Layer 3 Ethernet switch with a computer running Linux.
This document describes how to install and use the MILTECH-9012C/G, which was designed for easy installation
and high performance.
Product Overview
The MILTECH-9012C/G is specifically designed for battlefield C4ISR, voice, video, sensor data acquisition and
communications in platforms that require LAN/WAN connectivity.
While platform-internal networks need maximum speed and throughput, WAN interfaces require robust connectivity.
The MILTECH-9012C/G provides the best of both worlds in a single package - with Milpower Source’s proven line-
rate internal routing/switching AND Cisco-IOS industry-standard routing, security, and mobility protocols.
The MILTECH-9012C/G’s switch portion features both L2/L3 network switching and routing capabilities, including
virtual LANS (VLANS), traffic prioritization/QoS, IPv4/IPv6 support, and bandwidth aggregation.
The integrated Cisco ESR router transparently connects to a mobile world of wired and wireless networks, with
IPv4/IPv6 routing and multicast protocols that include BGP, OSPF, GRE, EIGRP, CDP, IGMP and MLD. Voice and
video connection quality is maintained with advanced quality of service (QoS) while external communication is
secured with the latest encryption algorithms, IPsec and IKEv2 protocols, authentication, identity management, and
integrated threat management. These advanced functions normally require a separate edge router, but are now
available in Milpower Source’s compact MILTECH-9012C/G.
The MILTECH-9012C/G offers the best combination of size, weight, and power (SWaP) in the industry, saving
valuable real estate for devices that make mobile platforms highly effective. No other military-grade device offers
such functionality in such a small package.
The 9012C is a member of the MILTECH9012 family that offers flexible alternatives for LAN, LAN/WAN, and
customizable networking. All family members are MIL-STD, fully managed, and military grade, with 12 triple-speed
(10/100/1000Mbps) ports.
The MILTECH-9012C/G gigabit-rate transmission and 24VDC power make it instantly compatible with any network
device and power systems.
Developed for military and harsh avionic applications, the MILTECH-9012C/G’s mechanical packaging
enhancements are designed for MIL-STD-810 airborne and ground environmental compliance and high reliability.
The unit has been especially hardened to improve ingress, impact, and shock/vibration protection, as well as
eliminate all moving parts through the use of passive cooling. Sealed SCE2 Amphenol circular connectors gives
the 9012C/G an IP67 rating.
