What is the switching performance and latency?

It provides 1.28 Tbps full-duplex switching capacity (640 Gbps half-duplex) with 960 Mpps line-rate L2/L3 forwarding and 800ns ultra-low latency via cut-through architecture. A 9MB packet buffer ensures no drops during bursts, delivering consistent performance for high-throughput environments.

What routing and scaling capabilities does it support?

Supports 128K MAC addresses, 16K IPv4 routes, 8K IPv6 routes (shared CAM), 4K VLANs, and 4K IPv4 multicast. Stacking capacity is 160 Gbps with up to 128 LAG groups (16 links each), enabling scalable fabrics for large data center L2/L3 domains.

What management and protocol features are available?

Runs Dell Force10 Operating System (FTOS) with Open Automation Framework, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, RMON, and 802.1ag CFM. Protocols include IPv4/IPv6 routing, IS-IS, PIM-SM, IGMPv1/v2, DCB, FCoE transit, iSCSI optimization, STP, and LACP for comprehensive enterprise networking.

What are the physical and power options?

1RU rack-mountable chassis with I/O to PSU or PSU to I/O airflow options and 1x hot-swap AC PSU (DC options available). Includes 2GB CPU memory. Compliant with EU RoHS and TAA/FIPS/USGv6-L2, suitable for standard data center racks with flexible cooling.

Is it suitable for storage networking?

Yes, optimized for storage with DCB, FCoE transit, iSCSI optimization over Ethernet, and non-blocking 1.28 Tbps fabric. The 800ns latency and 9MB buffer support high-performance iSCSI and FCoE deployments without performance degradation in converged networks.
