What is the switching performance?

Switching capacity is 176 Gbps with a forwarding rate of 100.2 Mpps. It supports up to 16,000 MAC addresses, jumbo frames to 10K bytes, and link aggregation via IEEE 802.3ad LACP (8 links, 8 members each), ensuring non-blocking operation.

Does it support VLANs and stacking?

Yes, up to 4000 VLANs with IEEE 802.1Q tagging, GVRP, protocol-based VLANs, and 802.1x Auto VLAN. Stacking via 2x 10Gb HDMI ports allows multiple units to operate as one logical switch for scalable deployments.

What management features are available?

Management via CLI (Telnet/SSH/RJ45 console), HTTP GUI, sFlow, SNMPv1/v2c, RMON groups. Protocols include SNTP, Syslog, BootP/DHCP, and Layer 3 Traceroute, providing robust remote administration tools.

What are the physical dimensions and power options?

1U rack-mountable at 440 x 432 x 44 mm, weighing 3.33 kg. Uses external redundant power with RPS-720 (sold separately) and dual image support for high availability in enterprise racks.

What standards does it comply with?

Supports IEEE 802.1D, 802.1Q, 802.1p, 802.1w, 802.1x, 802.3 series including 802.3ad LACP and 802.3z. Includes Spanning Tree (MSTP, RSTP) for loop prevention and fast convergence.
