The challenges our products can help you overcome

Fragmented time domains
Fragmented time domains
Struggling with synchronizing ECUs across different time domains? Our switches bridge PTPv2 and gPTP seamlessly, ensuring unified time synchronization across the network.
Encrypted traffic validation
Encrypted traffic validation
With MACsec becoming a standard, validating encrypted traffic is a challenge. Our switches support full MACsec integration with MKA handshake, enabling secure packet inspection without compromising performance.
Complex configuration overhead
Complex configuration overhead
Competing switches require CLI or external tools for setup. Technica’s intuitive web interface allows real-time configuration of VLANs, port roles, and time sync parameters—no scripting required.
Data flow management
Data flow management
As test benches grow, managing traffic shaping, ingress rate limiting, and port segmentation becomes critical. Our advanced feature set supports granular control over bandwidth and traffic flow.

Frequently asked questions

What are the main purposes of the Enhanced Ethernet Switch?

The Enhanced Ethernet Switch is designed to manage, control, and analyze Automotive Ethernet traffic in complex test and validation environments. With advanced capabilities such as time synchronization, configurable filtering, VLAN support, port mirroring, routing, MACsec, and flexible port configuration, it enables engineers to build secure, scalable, and reproducible test setups for debugging, traffic analysis, and network validation.

Can I purchase the MACsec license for my Technica Capture Module (Active TAP)?

No. The MACsec license is available exclusively for Technica Enhanced Ethernet Switches. Since the primary purpose of the Capture Module is passive traffic monitoring and recording, MACsec functionality is not integrated into the device itself. However, MACsec-protected traffic can be analyzed by cascading the Capture Module with an Enhanced Ethernet Switch, which can decrypt the traffic before forwarding it for capture and analysis.

Can the Enhanced Ethernet Switch be used for MACsec error injection or packet manipulation?

Yes. By routing traffic through the switch, selected packets can be mirrored to a connected PC for modification. The modified packets can then be re-injected into the communication path, enabling advanced MACsec validation scenarios such as error injection, packet manipulation, and robustness testing.

Can the Enhanced Ethernet Switch be used for 10BASE-T1S MACsec testing?

Yes. When combined with Technica's Network Interfacer, the Enhanced Ethernet Switch can be used to support 10BASE-T1S MACsec testing and validation scenarios.

What traffic control and filtering capabilities does the Enhanced Ethernet Switch provide?

The Enhanced Ethernet Switch offers extensive traffic management and filtering capabilities, including: Support for up to 8 QoS classes per port, VLAN tagging, including Single VLAN and Q-in-Q (Double VLAN), Port mirroring for monitoring and analysis, Traffic shaping and ingress rate limiting, TCAM-based deep packet inspection and filtering rules. These features provide precise control over network traffic, making it easy to build sophisticated validation and test topologies.

Which scenarios require the Advanced Feature Package?

The Advanced Feature Package unlocks additional functionalities, including: Multiple PTP partitions, PTPv2-to-gPTP bridging, Bandwidth reservation and Ingress rate limiting. The Core feature package supports a single PTP partition. License activation can be performed by the customer via the User Interface, eliminating the need to return the device.
