What is the switching capacity and layer support?

Switching capacity is 176 Gbps with forwarding up to 131 Mpps and 1.25GB packet buffer. It provides full Layer 3 routing including IPv6, static routes, RIP, OSPF, and BGP-4, plus Layer 2 features like VLAN, QoS, and ACL for comprehensive network management.

Does it support stacking, and how many units?

Yes, it supports stacking up to 12 switches in a ring topology with dynamic master election and link aggregation across members. This allows management as a single logical unit, simplifying scaling and enhancing resiliency in large deployments.

What are the power and environmental specs?

Single hot-swappable AC supply (100-240 VAC, max 225W, 531 BTU/h), supports redundant AC/DC. Operates at 32°-122°F (0°-50°C), 10-85% RH non-condensing, with dual hot-swap fans and 59.6 dBA noise. Meets NEBS Level 3 compliance.

What software runs on this switch?

It runs the Modular Dell Force10 Operating System (FTOS), supporting integrated network automation, virtualization via Open Automation Framework, SNMP, and advanced protocols. This enables line-rate switching/routing with features like VRRP for high availability.

Is it rack-mountable and what is the form factor?

Yes, 1RU rack-mountable chassis (17.3"W x 16.7"D x 1.7"H) with included rack ears and normal airflow. Hot-swappable components and energy-efficient design make it ideal for dense data center or enterprise rack installations.
