What is the switching capacity and performance?

Provides 48 Gbps switch fabric capacity with 35.6 Mpps forwarding rate, supporting 8,000 MAC addresses and jumbo frames up to 10K. Ensures non-blocking wire-speed Gigabit switching for high-throughput environments.

Does it support Layer 3 features?

Primarily Layer 2 with Layer 3 capabilities like static routing, including 8 priority queues per port, QoS, and iSCSI optimization. Supports up to 4,000 VLANs, multicast, and LACP link aggregation.

How is the switch managed?

Managed via industry-standard CLI (Telnet/serial), SNMP, and embedded Web UI. Features include dual firmware images, LLDP for discovery, and enterprise protocols for comprehensive network oversight.

What power options are available?

Supports AC or DC power supplies with an RPS port for external redundant power via PowerConnect RPS-600. Ensures high availability in power-sensitive enterprise racks.

Is it suitable for iSCSI and VoIP?

Yes, iSCSI-optimized to auto-tag and prioritize storage traffic with QoS. Voice VLANs and 8 queues per port ensure low-latency VoIP alongside data, with multicast support for efficiency.
