Is MACsec supported on this switch?

Yes, all 48 access ports and VIM5 uplink ports support IEEE 802.1AE MACsec with 128/256-bit AES encryption. This provides link-layer security for packets between devices without affecting QoS or policy enforcement, ideal for compliance needs.

What is the switching performance?

The VSP4900-48P offers 196 Gbps switching capacity and 145.8 Mpps forwarding rate in a non-blocking architecture. Backed by 2GB DDR4 DRAM, 8GB eMMC NVRAM, and 12MB packet buffers, it handles high-density L2/L3 traffic efficiently.

What uplink options are available?

A single VIM5 slot supports 2/4-port modules at 10Gb, 25Gb, or 40Gb rates over various media. This modular design allows flexible connectivity to core switches or servers, enhancing scalability in edge/aggregation roles.

What management interfaces are provided?

Includes RJ-45 console and management ports, USB micro-B for management, and 2x USB-A ports. Supports ExtremeCloud IQ cloud management, VOSS, and Fabric Connect for centralized control and automation.

What power and cooling features does it have?

Dual hot-swappable PSU slots accept 715W/1100W AC units (front-to-back), with 3 hot-swappable fan modules. Power consumption ranges 82-1746W, heat dissipation 280-1046 BTU/hr, ensuring reliability in enterprise environments.
