QuickSpecs
Overview
control-plane events
NEW Multitenant Device Context (MDC)
virtualizes a physical switch into multiple logical devices, with each logical switch having its own processes, configuration, and
administration
Performance
High-speed fully distributed architecture
provides up to 11.52 Tb/s switching capacity with released line cards and up to 13.72 Tb/s switching fabric capacity with Type D
fabric; modules provide nonblocking wirespeed 10GbE/40GbE performance and future 100GbE expansion capability; with four
fabrics, the switch delivers up to 8.571 billion pps throughput; all switching and routing is performed in the I/O modules; meets
the demand of bandwidth-intensive applications today and in the future
Scalable system design
provides investment protection to support future technologies and higher-speed connectivity, as the switch is designed for
increased backplane bandwidth
Flexible chassis selection
enables you to tailor product selections to your budget with a choice of four chassis: the 10504 switch (four open module slots),
10508 switch (eight open module slots), 10508-V switch (eight vertical open module slots), and 10512 switch (12 open module
slots)
Connectivity
High-density port connectivity
offers up to 12 interface module slots; provides up to 96 40GbE ports, 576 10GbE ports, and 576 gigabit fiber/electrical ports per
system
Jumbo frames
allow high-performance backups and disaster-recovery systems; provide a maximum frame size of 9K bytes
Loopback
supports internal loopback testing for maintenance purposes and an increase in availability; loopback detection protects against
incorrect cabling or network configurations and can be enabled on a per-port or per-VLAN basis for added flexibility
Ethernet operations, administration and maintenance (OAM):
detects data link layer problems that occurred in the "last mile" using the IEEE 802.3ah OAM standard; monitors the status of the
link between two devices
Flexible port selection
provides a combination of fiber and copper interface modules, 100/1000BASE-X auto-speed selection, and 10/100/1000BASE-T
auto-speed detection plus auto duplex and MDI/MDI-X
Monitor link
collects statistics on performance and errors on physical links, increasing system availability (Comware v5 only)
Dual-personality functionality
includes four 10/100/1000 ports or SFP slots for optional fiber connectivity such as Gigabit-SX, -LX, and -LH, or 100-FX
Packet storm protection
protects against unknown broadcast, unknown multicast, or unicast storms with user-defined thresholds
Flow control
provides back pressure using standard IEEE 802.3x, reducing congestion in heavy traffic situations
Quality of Service (QoS)
IEEE 802.1p prioritization
delivers data to devices based on the priority and type of traffic
Class of Service (CoS)
sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number, source
