Product Overview

Switching Technology Comparison

• Dumb Line Card without capabilities to determine switching path

• All traffics MUST be processed by “Control Module”

• Switching performance relies on “Control Module”

• Packets always be transmitted back and forth between Control Module and Line Cards

• Intelligent Line Card with capability to determine switching path

• Synchronized switch/route information on Control Card and Line Card

• Layer 2/3/4 Local on board switching capability

• Fastest forwarding, near zero-wait

Drawback of Centralized Switching

All traffics MUST go through control card even traffic in/out on the same line card.

Product Overview

Feature Advantage

On-board Intelligent Local

L2/L3/L4 Wire-speed Switching

• Faster Switching Performance

• Eliminating Unnecessary Backplane Traffic

Redundant Power modules • Provide 4 load-sharing/redundant power modules

• For three 48-port PoE line cards installed, 4 power modules can

meet the full power budget requirement.

Various Media GE Module • Higher flexibility for network requirement

• Pay only for port type/performance required

Non-blocking Forwarding for

each line card

• Ultra high 80Gbps bandwidth between Control module and each

line card slots. All line cards can run non-blocking wire speed.

• Up to 24 10GE ports with each port running at non-

blocking rate, helping enterprises migrate to 10G back bone.

Front connectors to simplify

access

• All connectors of CPU modules, I/O modules, Power modules are

in the front panels

• All-front access eases deployment and troubleshooting
