Introduction

Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches come with rich software features including MPLS, advanced Quality of Service, IPv6, high security with DOS protection, VLAN, the complete routing suite (Ipv4 / Ipv6) including RIP, OSPF, BGP4, and VRRP. More importantly, all features are suitably enabled on the basic switch software. This makes it usable right from day one and eliminates the need to invest on separate software images or additional memory to realize full potential of the switches.

The supreme advantages of these switches are the multiple 10G options. Supporting a maximum of 4 # of 10G per switch, this switch can be inter-connected with high speed 10Gbps for both copper and fiber. In addition, all the 4 # 10G ports can work simultaneously with the 4 # 1000X ports available in each switch.

With its attractive feature list and high performance, the Dax Layer 3 switches are ideal forthe Aggregation level in mid-sized and large enterprises.

Key features

Performance and Scalability

Supporting 184 Gbps of Backplane bandwidth, the Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches provide wire speed and non-blocking performance on any network. With IPv6 being adopted widely, these switches support Phase II implementation of IPv6. This includes a complete suite of IPv6 management and routing.

Advanced Routing

Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches deliver hardware based IP routing for both IPv4 and IPv6. RIP v1/v2, OSPF v2 and BGP4 provide dynamic routing by exchanging routing information with other Layer 3 switches and routers. DVMRP, PIM-SM, PIM- DM and PIM-SSM Multicast Routing Protocols send IP multicast traffic from one subnet to another to support maximum data streams. IGMP snooping features forwarding of multicast packets for live streaming of voice and data without any swell up in network broadcast congestion. VRRP prevents your system from failing by dynamically backing up multiple L3 switches for routing.

Continuous Availability

Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches support Rapid and Multiple spanning trees as per the IEEE standard. The availability of spanning tree supports the elimination of network loops. Link aggregation or port aggregation helps combine speeds by bundling multiple links and offering a high speed link catering to the network demand. Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches support MRPP which is a ring protection protocol and aids in reducing network convergence time in a ring topology network. IGMP snooping prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to selected users.

Comprehensive QoS

Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches supports 8 queues per port to enable differentiated management of up to 8 traffic types. Traffic is prioritized according to IEEE802.1p, DSCP, IP precedence and TCP/UDP port number, giving optimal performance to real-time applications such as voice and video. Bi-directional rate-limiting, per port or traffic class preserves network bandwidth and allows full control of network resources.

Enhanced Security

Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches support IEEE 802.1X port-based access control and MAC-based access control to ensure all users are authorized before being granted entry into the network. Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to sensitive network resources by denying packets based on L2/ L3/L4 header information. Secure Shell (SSH) encrypts network management information via Telnet for secure network management. RADIUS Authentication enables centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration of the switch. Anti DoS attacks ensures high security to the network.

MPLS

Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches support MPLS which is widely applied in carrier networks. These switches support hardware based MPLS and MPLS VPN with 252 instance support.

Ipv6 support

Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches support IPv6 routing in hardware for maximum performance. As the number of network devices increase and the need for larger IP addressing and higher security becomes critical, the Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switch is the right product to meet requirements. Furthermore, the Dax Layer 3 Enhanced Gigabit switches support phase II implementation of Ipv6 with complete routing and management features.
