What is the switching performance?

Switching capacity is 144 Gbps with 107.2 million pps throughput. Latency measures <3.2 µs at 1 Gbps and <2.6 µs at 10 Gbps. Non-blocking architecture and hardware ACLs ensure wire-speed Layer 3/4 processing with 12,000 routing entries.

Does it support stacking?

Yes, IRF stacking supports up to 9 switches as a single logical unit, managed via IMC, CLI, web, or SNMP. This simplifies cabling, boosts resiliency, and scales to 1,296 ports while reducing management overhead in enterprise networks.

What are the power and environmental specs?

Supports dual redundant power supplies (100-240 VAC). Operates at 32ºF to 113ºF (0ºC to 45ºC), 10-90% humidity noncondensing; stores -40ºF to 158ºF. Dimensions: 17.32 x 14.17 x 1.72 in., weight 13.89 lb (6.3 kg), 1U rack-mountable.

What management features are available?

Managed via IMC Intelligent Management Center, command-line interface, web browser, SNMP, and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet MIB. Supports QoS, IGMP snooping, link aggregation, rate limiting, and Comware OS for advanced Layer 2/3/4 functions like IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack.

Is it suitable for data centers?

Yes, with 24 SFP ports, 144 Gbps capacity, low latency, and expansion slots for 10GbE uplinks. IRF stacking and redundant power ensure high availability, while 2 MB packet buffer and 256 MB SDRAM handle bursty traffic in high-density server environments.
