70 -- MATRIX SWITCH SYSTEM SOL N00178-96-Q-0191 DUE 091896 POC Barbara Wynne, Purchasing Agent 540-653-4904. The Government intends to purchase on a brand name or equal basis a Matrix Switching System as manufactured by LANHOPPER Systems of Atlanta, GA. The system shall consist of the following: P/N 97300 Model 7200 Glass-Hopper with 16 by 16 matrix which requires 4 switching modules (2 input and 2 output) (1 each). Each switching module will have 8 fibers so that there will be 16 fibers available for input and 16 fibers available for output. P/N 97740 Glass-Hopper M.8.62 Switching Modules (8 fibers per module) (2 each). P/N 97725 SNMP Interface and Software (1 each). P/N PM/92 PATHmaster server software license for Sun Solaris to include 4 CISCO Catalyst SPAN licenses (1 each). P/N PM/32 CISCO Catalyst SPAN software license for use on one Catalyst Switch (6 each). The Government requires hardware and software that is capable of controlling the CISCO Catalyst 5000 Series ethernet switches. The Matrix Switch control software must run under the Sun Solaris Operating System. The matrix switch must contain a fiber optic switching matrix and, when fully configured, the matrix switch must support 72 network segments and/or analyzer/probes. It must provide 2 power supplies with 110 or 220 volt input. It must be rack mountable to standard rack mount. Segments can be named throught the system control software by the network manager to provide ease of use. Segment names can be a maximum of 25 characters. The matrix switch control software must be capable of controlling a fiber matrix switch, a UTP matrix switch, an AUI matrix switch and a WAN matrix switch. The software must provide user-definable, interactive text-based configuration. The software must show current connections in use and their owners. The software must save all mappings of active connections so that manual recovery is not necessary. It must provide multiple access to the same source network segment on demand. It must provide control of the switch matrix device with or without SNMP. It must provide a graphical user interface to permit intuitive control of analyzer connectivity to a network source. The control software must allow troubleshooting and/or test access to begin almost instantaneously and the connection process must be transparent to the user. The software should limit selection only to those data sources ports that are reachable. The software should provide for splitting the matrix switch from one large matrix into multiple matrices. This allows each matrix to remain completely separate for analysis, which allows separation of classified networks for analysis and testing. The software must be available on multiple platforms, including Sun Solaris and must support multiple clients, such as Windows, Web Browsers and SunNET Manager. It must have an open API to allow for custom programmatic integration. It must provide for persistent connections so that all mappings of active connections are saved and manual recovery is not required. The above is required to enhance the current data gathering, statistics analysis, and troubleshooting capabilities by adding a centrally managed, intelligent, client-server network analysis system to view the entire classified building network. This requirement is to provide easy port switching on the ethernet links. The switching capability allows the networks team to strategically locate a single analyzer in a multiple segment ethernet environment. The system requires software to switch between segments remotely. Award is to be made under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. All responsible sources shall provide manufacturer's specifications and software maintenance agreement with their fax quote which shall be considered by the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Dahlgren, VA 22448. Fax number is 540-653-7016/6812, Attn: Barbara Wynne, Code S18. THE GOVERNMENT SHALL NOT ISSUE A WRITTEN QUOTE AS ALL ITEMS ARE CALLED OUT IN THIS CBD NOTICE. This procurement will be awarded on an all or none basis. All items shall be shipped FOB Destination to the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren, VA 22448. Closing date is 18 September 1996. Anticipate award by 23 September 1996. (0235)
