N8500-48B6C (48*25Gb+6*100Gb) 25Gb L2/L3 SDN Switch, Bare-Metal Hardware

Part Number: N8500-48B6C-FT-H

N8500-48B6C(48*25GbE+6*100GbE) 25GbE Open Networking Switch

N8500-48B6C is a Top-of-Rack (TOR) or Leaf switch in a compact 1U form factor, ideally suited for high performance and programmable data center environments. The N8500-48B6C provides 48-port 25GbE SFP28 and 6-port 100GbE QSFP28. It delivers excellent low latency and power efficiency in a PHYless design, while offering high reliability features such as redundant and hot swappable power supplies and fans in forward and reverse airflow configurations. With support for advanced features, including MLAG, VxLAN, SFLOW, SNMP, MPLS etc, this layer 3 switch is ideal for traditional or fully virtualized data center.

The N8500-48B6C supports current and future data center requirements, including a x86-based control plane for easier integration of automation tools, an ONIE installer for 3rd party network operating systems and compatibility with Software Defined Networks via OpenFlow 1.3.11. Additionally, N8500-48B6C supports the advanced hardware based VXLAN feature to support over 16M virtual networks.
