What is the switching capacity?

The switch provides 4.8 Tbps switching capacity with line-rate throughput on all ports and packet sizes, enabled by VCS fabric technology for scalable fabrics (router-switch.com).

Does it support FCoE?

Yes, FCoE is fully enabled with VCS fabric for storage convergence, supporting low-latency (850 ns) any-port-to-any-port performance and deep 24 MB buffers (scribd.com).

What power options are available?

Dual hot-swappable AC power supplies (500W optional) with max 250W at 48Vdc nominal, ensuring redundancy and efficiency in 1U form (router-switch.com, extremenetworks.com).

What management features does it have?

VCS fabric unified management simplifies provisioning, with status LEDs for system, power, fan, and ports, plus RJ-45 out-of-band Ethernet port (router-switch.com).

What are the physical dimensions and airflow?

1U rack-mountable chassis with non-port-side exhaust airflow (nominal 11.5 CFM), designed for high-density data centers with vibration tolerance up to 2.0 G (extremenetworks.com, scribd.com).
