What is the maximum switching throughput of the IBM G8000?

The G8000 delivers 176 Gbps full-duplex switching throughput with a non-blocking architecture. This means all 48 ports can simultaneously transmit and receive at line rate (1 Gbps each) without any performance degradation, making it ideal for high-bandwidth data center environments.

How many servers can the G8000 connect directly?

The G8000 provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing direct connection of up to 48 servers or blade chassis. Each port auto-senses 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds. With optional 10GbE uplink modules, you can add core connectivity without consuming server-facing ports.

What is the port-to-port latency, and why does it matter?

The G8000 provides deterministic port-to-port latency under 3 microseconds for 64-byte packets. This ultra-low latency is critical for virtualization workloads, real-time applications, and storage traffic, ensuring faster application response times and better performance for latency-sensitive services.

Does the G8000 support fiber connections?

Yes. The switch includes four 1 Gigabit SFP ports supporting 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-T fiber transceivers (sold separately). Optional dual-port 10 Gigabit SFP+ modules provide high-speed fiber uplinks for core network connectivity.

What redundancy features ensure high availability?

The G8000 includes dual hot-swappable power supplies and redundant fans, allowing maintenance without downtime. It also supports 802.1X authentication, RADIUS/TACACS+ security, LACP link aggregation for port redundancy, and numerous Layer 2/3 high-availability features for business-critical traffic.

How many VLANs and trunk groups does the G8000 support?

The switch supports up to 1,024 VLANs with 802.1Q tagging and up to 52 trunk groups with 8 member ports each. This enables extensive network segmentation, multi-tenant isolation, and flexible link aggregation for enterprise deployments.

What is the physical form factor and power consumption?

The G8000 is a 1U rack-mount switch (1.75 inches high, 17.3 inches wide, 15 inches deep) weighing 11.99 lbs. It consumes 120W per redundant power module (AC or DC options available), making it power-efficient for dense data center deployments.
