What is the switching performance?

Switching capacity is 136 Gbps with a 35.7 Mpps forwarding rate, supporting an 8000-entry MAC table and 8 queues per port. Data rates up to 1000 Mbps ensure wire-speed operation, scalable via stacking up to 12 units for nearly 3 Tbps total throughput.

Does it support Layer 3 routing?

Yes, as a managed Layer 3 switch, it supports static routes, RIP v1/v2, OSPF v1/v2/v3, VRRP, PIM-DM/SM, and DVMRP. Multicast includes IGMP Snooping v2 for up to 256 groups, reducing congestion in routed enterprise networks.

Management via SNMPv1/v2c/v3, IGMPv2, RMON; web-based interface, CLI over Telnet/Serial/SSH/SSL. QoS offers Layer 2/3/4 classification, 8 priority queues, and up to 100 ACLs, plus features like port mirroring, rate limiting, and Spanning Tree Protocol.

Is it stackable and what is the form factor?

Stackable up to 12 systems with optional module at 48 Gbps per unit, supporting up to 576 connections. 1U rackmount design with dimensions 43.2mm H x 387mm D, single fixed internal power supply (100-240V AC, 50-60Hz), and status LEDs for ports/system/power/temp.

What power requirements does it have?

Single fixed internal power supply with AC input 100-240V at 50-60 Hz. No PoE support on this model. Operating conditions: 0-40°C temperature, 10-90% humidity; suitable for standard enterprise racks.
