What is the stacking performance?

Utilizes 4 x 40 GbE QSFP ports for 320 Gbps full-duplex stacking bandwidth, supporting up to 8 units in a stack with hitless failover. This eliminates inter-switch bottlenecks and scales to 384 1GbE ports per stack.

Can the uplink ports be upgraded?

Yes, the 8 x 1 GbE SFP/SFP+ ports are upgradable to 10 GbE via a software license, providing up to 80 Gbps uplink bandwidth without hardware changes for flexible core connectivity.

What is the switching capacity and forwarding rate?

Delivers 528 Gbps switching capacity (full duplex) and 396 Mpps forwarding rate, powered by two 4-core packet processors (268 Gbps each), ensuring wire-speed L3 performance for high-density traffic.

What management features are included?

Includes RJ-45 out-of-band management port and stacking management interface with base software license. Supports up to 64K MAC addresses and 4 MB shared buffer for efficient enterprise network control.

What are the physical dimensions and airflow?

1U rack-mountable form factor with power-supply-side intake airflow, 1 x hot-swappable fan assembly, and dual load-sharing PSUs for reliable operation in standard data center racks.
