What is the switching capacity and performance?

The switch delivers 2.56Tbps full-duplex switching capacity and 1,428 Mpps forwarding rate with non-blocking, low-latency architecture. It supports jumbo frames up to 9,600 bytes and wire-speed operation across all ports, optimized for high-performance fabric in data centers.

What management software is used?

Managed via VOSS (VSP Operating System Software) with initial release 4.0 and support up to 8.4.2. Features include flexible table architecture, Extreme Networks Fabric, SPB (802.1aq), and QoS with 766 IPv4 ACE ingress for simplified, software-defined networking.

What are the physical dimensions and power options?

1U rack-mount form factor with four pre-installed 12V redundant fan modules. Ships with one 800W AC PSU (EC8200A01-E6); supports second for redundancy or DC PSU (EC8005A01-E6). Ensures high availability in dense deployments.

What Layer 2/3 features are supported?

Layer 2: 224,000 MAC addresses, 4,059 VLANs, 12 MSTP instances, 96 MLT/LACP groups. Layer 3 IPv4: 7,744 routes, 1,000 static/ECMP, 252 VRRP/RSMLT interfaces. Plus SPB with 4,059 L2 VSNs for scalable virtualization and routing.

Is it suitable for data center fabrics?

Yes, with Extreme Networks Fabric support, 2.56Tbps capacity, and features like MACsec, channelized 40G ports, and up to 96 transparent UNI ports in SPB mode. Ideal for mid-sized data centers needing high scalability and low latency.
