What is the switching capacity and latency?

The switch offers 176 Gbps fabric bandwidth, expandable to 448 Gbps with VIM modules, and less than 4 microsecond latency for 64-byte packets. Supports 9216-byte jumbo frames and wire-speed performance on all ports.

How scalable is the MAC and routing table?

Supports up to 512K MAC addresses for Layer 2, 512K IPv4 routes for Layer 3, 4,094 VLANs, and 60K ACLs with 8,192 ingress/1,024 egress rules per port, ideal for large enterprise networks.

What management protocols does it support?

Powered by ExtremeXOS, it includes Ethernet Automatic Protection Switching (EAPS), carrier-grade redundancy, 128 trunks with up to 8 members, and comprehensive VLAN/ACL support for robust network management.

Is it suitable for data center use?

Yes, with high port density, low latency, optional 160 Gbps uplinks, and scalability to 512K addresses/routes, it's designed for data center aggregation and top-of-rack deployments in 1RU space.
