What is the switching performance?

Provides 1.44 Tbps switching capacity, up to 1071 Mpps throughput, and 1 µs latency for 64-byte packets. Supports 288K MAC entries, 4096 VLANs, and jumbo frames to 10000 bytes with full Layer 3 routing including OSPF and BGP.

What is the form factor and power setup?

2U rack-mountable chassis weighing 50 lbs, with 2 hot-plug power supply slots for 1+1 redundancy (650W each). Includes fan trays and operates from 0-45°C, ensuring reliable deployment in standard data center racks.

Is it suitable for data center top-of-rack use?

Yes, optimized as ToR switch with 40GbE ports, low latency, and IRF stacking that reduces management by 88%. Ideal for server edge scaling and Ethernet/storage convergence in virtualized environments.

What management features are available?

RJ45 out-of-band management port with status LEDs, plus SNMP, SSH, Telnet, RADIUS/TACACS authentication. Supports IRF for up to 9-unit stacking with <50 ms convergence, simplifying large deployments.

What expansion options does it offer?

2 interface module slots compatible with 4 expansion slots total, supporting 10GbE, 40GbE, or FC. This modular design allows customization for spine/leaf architectures without full replacement.
