What is the switching performance?

The switch delivers 216 Gbps switching capacity and 161 Mpps throughput with <5 µs latency for 64-byte packets. It supports 32000 MAC address entries and 16000 IPv4 routing entries, using cut-through design for low-latency, wire-speed performance in data centers.

What memory does it have?

Configuration includes 2048 MB SDRAM, 512 MB flash, and 8 MB packet buffer size. This enables efficient handling of large routing tables and traffic bursts, supporting full Layer 2/3 IPv4/IPv6 operations without performance degradation.

Is it rack-mountable and what is the weight?

Yes, it is 1U rack-mountable with dimensions suited for standard 19-inch racks. Weight is 18.74 lb (8.5 kg), making it easy to deploy in dense enterprise or data center environments while maintaining high availability.

What power options are available?

Features redundant hot-swappable power supplies for high availability. This design ensures continuous operation during power supply failures, critical for mission-critical network infrastructures like edge and distribution layers.

What are the ideal deployment scenarios?

Suited for enterprise edge, distribution, and data center top-of-rack roles. Leverages 10G uplinks, low latency, and IRF stacking for resilient, high-performance fabrics handling Gigabit access aggregation and Layer 3 routing.
