Select from available components to acquire the high-performance switching capabilities you need now. Additional hot swappable power supply units can be used to augment the unit included in the chassis starter kit two power supplies are required for configurations using 4 media modules. The carrier module is keyed for insertion in the bottom slot of the chassis and accepts up to two control processor modules. The control processor initializes and manages the media modules, updates the look up engines on all media modules, and contains the crossbar switching fabric. A redundant control processor can be installed, which will provide automatic failover in the unlikely event that the primary control processor fails.
Spare trays are available.
With a variety of media modules available, the switch can be configured for many different network designs and can easily be reconfigured as the network evolves. All modules are hot swappable they can be removed and changed without shutting down the switch so system uptime is increased. Four slots are available for media modules. Select from three module types, and use any combination of modules to provide the ports you need.
