Is this a Layer 3 switch and what routing does it support?

Yes, it's a fully managed Layer 3 switch supporting OSPF, RIP, BGP-4, PIM-SM/DM/SSM, static IPv4/IPv6 routing, IGMPv1/v2/v3, and MLD. Features include 4000 VLANs, 2000 IPv4 multicast entries, and ACLs up to 4000 ingress for advanced enterprise routing.

What are the physical dimensions and form factor?

Rack-mountable 1U chassis measures 1.72 inches height, 17.32 inches width, and 18.11 inches depth, fitting standard 19-inch racks. Weighs approximately 14.53 lbs, with support for redundant power supplies.

How is the switch managed?

Fully manageable via SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON, HTTPS web GUI, CLI/SSH/Telnet, TFTP, and console RJ45 port. Supports management VLAN, sFlow, port mirroring, and IRF stacking for virtualized control across multiple units.

What redundancy features are available?

Includes VRRP for virtual router redundancy, RSTP/MSTP for spanning tree, LACP for link aggregation, and modular power supplies. IRF technology enables stacking up to 9 units logically as one for simplified high-availability networks.

What memory and buffering does it have?

1 GB RAM and 64 MB flash memory, with ultra-deep packet buffering up to 3 GB to handle congestion at 10GbE speeds. Supports jumbo frames up to 9 KB and line-rate forwarding across all ports.
