Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 highlights

• Increases resiliency through switching clustering (Split Multi-Link Trunking/Routed Split Multi-Link Trunking) for the most demanding applications and networks and boosts performance because all links forward traffic at Layer 2 & 3
• Includes virtualized Layer 3 with device and network solutions (e.g., VRF-Lite, IP VPN-Lite, & MPLS)
• Provides cost-effective, simplified multicast virtualization (IGMP, PIM-SM/SSM) and unicast traffic combined with switch clustering resiliency for multiple customers and communities
• Enables IP VPN services across campus or metro through existing IP infrastructure with no additional equipment or complex setup and management required
• Streamlines IP VPN and MPLS solutions through high-performance R/RS modules
• Offers high-density 10G, high-density Gigabit and 10/100/1000 Ethernet for enterprise core and aggregation applications, delivering competitive high value
• Delivers best-in-class resiliency with switch clustering support for VMware server virtualization in an iSCSI environment
• Provides increased value, flexibility, and slot conservation through a new combo module with copper 10/100/1000, 100/1000 SFP and 10GbE XFP interfaces
• Benchmarks network traffic and identifies anomalous behavior using IP Flow Information eXport (IPFIX) IETF RFC 3917
• Supports high-performance IPv6 – a key scalability tool for demanding and expanding networks
• Identifies attack patterns through optional application-aware service modules for deep packet inspection
• Enables traffic analysis and IDS/TPS clustering through sophisticated mirroring capabilities (i.e., many-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many)
• Supports large-scale convergence deployments, expanding DWDM Fiber capacity to 20 wavelengths using 10GbE XFP optics

8600 3 Slot Ethernet Routing Switch

For those seeking advanced features in a low-density configuration, this system supports a single Switch Fabric/CPU module, with capacity for two R/RS-series interface modules. It is suitable to serve as the core of a small network.
