Product overview

The Lenovo RackSwitch G8052 is a 1U rack-mountable Layer 2/3 Ethernet switch designed for high-performance data center environments. It features 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports supporting both 1GbE and 10GbE transceivers. The switch delivers up to 176 Gbps aggregated throughput with ultra-low 1.8 microsecond switching latency and non-blocking, wire-speed forwarding architecture. It supports advanced networking features including VLANs, link aggregation, spanning tree protocol, quality of service, OpenFlow, and IPv4/IPv6 routing. Redundant hot-swap power supplies (2x 450W) and fans ensure high availability. Management options include isCLI, SNMP v1/v3, Netconf, and optional Lenovo XClarity. Security features encompass SSH, RBAC, LDAP/LDAPS, RADIUS, TACACS+, and 802.1x port-based access control. The G8052 is ideal for virtualized workloads, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise data center aggregation.

What is the maximum throughput and latency of the RackSwitch G8052?

The G8052 delivers 176 Gbps aggregated full-duplex throughput with 1.8 microsecond switching latency. It processes up to 132 million packets per second using a non-blocking, cut-through switching architecture. This ensures wire-speed forwarding across all 52 ports without congestion or delay.

How many ports does the G8052 have and what speeds are supported?

The switch features 48 auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports. The SFP+ ports support both 10GbE SFP+ transceivers and 1GbE SFP transceivers, providing flexible uplink options with 40 Gbps total uplink bandwidth.

What redundancy features does the G8052 provide?

The G8052 includes two load-sharing, redundant hot-swap 450W AC power supplies and three 2+1 redundant hot-swap fan assemblies (optional 2+2 configuration). It achieves 190,860 hours MTBF at 40°C ambient. All hot-swap components are field-replaceable without downtime.

What Layer 2 and Layer 3 features are supported?

The G8052 supports Layer 2 switching with VLANs, VLAN tagging, spanning tree protocol, link aggregation groups (LAGs), virtual LAGs (vLAGs), and Layer 2 failover. Layer 3 features include IPv4/IPv6 routing, VRRP, policy-based routing, and OpenFlow for SDN integration.

What management and security protocols are available?

Management interfaces include industry-standard CLI (isCLI), SNMP v1/v3, and Netconf (XML). Optional Lenovo XClarity provides discovery and monitoring. Security features include SSH, RBAC, LDAP/LDAPS, RADIUS, TACACS+, ACLs, and IEEE 802.1x port-based network access control.

What is the physical form factor and power consumption?

The G8052 is a 1U rack-mountable switch measuring 439mm (W) x 445mm (D) x 44mm (H) and weighing 10.5kg. It includes two 450W redundant power supplies with typical power consumption around 200 watts. Airflow options include rear-to-front or front-to-rear configurations.

Is the G8052 suitable for virtualized data center environments?

Yes. The G8052 includes VMready support for VM-aware networking, OpenFlow for SDN integration, and advanced Layer 2/3 features like VLANs and LAGs. Non-blocking architecture with 1.8µs latency supports massive compute and virtualization workloads with minimal oversubscription (1:08 ratio).
