What is the switching performance?

The switch delivers 176 Gbps routing/switching capacity and up to 130.9 Mpps throughput with a non-blocking fabric, supporting 32,000 MAC addresses and jumbo frames up to 12,288 bytes, ideal for high-traffic edge/core applications.

Does it support Layer 3 routing?

Yes, with 12,000 IPv4 and 6,000 IPv6 routing table entries, full IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack, RIP, OSPF, BGP, PIM, MPLS, and policy-based routing, enabling advanced routed environments without additional licensing.

What resiliency features are included?

Dual hot-swappable power supplies, IRF stacking for up to 9 units at 80 Gbps, VRRP, BFD for fast convergence, and separate data/control paths ensure high availability and minimal downtime in critical networks.
