Switch 8800 24-port 1000BASE-X IPv6 Module Features & Benefits

High-Performance, Resilient, Convergence-Ready, IPv6-Ready SFP-Based Gigabit Ethernet
This module delivers twenty-four ports of high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switching with support for Small Form-Factor Plug-in (SFP) transceivers for both fiber and copper connections.

Switch 8800 modules support on-board or local Layers 2/3/4 switching, allowing packets to remain local to the module, which reduces backplane and switch fabric loading.

This reduces congestion in the network minimizing packet loss, to enable applications to run faster across the network. The reduction in latencies will improve the quality of video and voice traffic across the network.

- Local Layers 2/3/4 switching at 40 Gbps between ports on the same module. Up to 12 modules (Switch 8814) can be added to the chassis to give 480 Gbps performance.
- Uses industry standard SFP modular transceivers, sold separately, to provide a flexible physical media connection— see Required and Optional Products for list of available 3Com SFP transceivers.
- Interface transmission rates: 1 Gbps (full duplex).
- Supports IEEE 802.3z, IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.3ad, IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1Q.
- IPv6-ready (requires IPv6-capable routing software on switch fabric).
