Does it support stacking?

Yes, it offers resilient high-availability stacking for up to 6 switches using QSFP+ ports, allowing management of up to 384 10GbE ports from one interface with redundant linking for non-stop networking.

What management protocols are supported?

Management includes SNMPv1/v2c/v3, RMON groups, HTTP/TFTP, SSHv2, SSLv3, sFlow, and dual firmware images. Protocols like Spanning Tree (802.1D), VLAN (802.1Q), LACP (802.3ad), DCBx, iSCSI TLV 2.2, UDLD, and Switch Auditing ensure comprehensive control.

What are the power and environmental specs?

Max power consumption is 220W with hot-swappable supplies. Operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), in a rack-mountable 1U form factor, suitable for data center environments.

Is it suitable for iSCSI storage networks?

Yes, it supports iSCSI TLV 2.2, DCBx, and large packet buffers with Jumbo Frames, plus 10/40GbE speeds for converged Ethernet, making it optimized for storage traffic in virtualization setups.
