10-slot modular switch, with two fabric and eight payload slots
640 Gbps bandwidth (dual fabrics); maximum aggregate throughput 572 Mpps
Choice of two switch fabrics: 720 Gbps performance or 360 Gbps; use two switch fabrics for redundancy
Local switching on modules: increases performance and reduces latency for enhanced application performance, improving the quality of video and voice traffic
High-density 10/100/1000 modules: up to 48 ports per module, or 384 ports per system for expandable capacity in large enterprise environments
Optional IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE): simplifies network deployment allowing both power and data connectivity via a single cabling infrastructure
Application modules provide network management and monitoring (Network Monitoring Module), security (Firewall Module and IPSec Module), as well as advanced capabilities in MPLS environments (VPLS Module)
