The VSP 8400 Ethernet Switch provides four front-panel slots that support the flexible deployment of high-density VSP 8400 Series Ethernet Switch Modules. By default, the VSP 8400 is a “zero port” system, with a Chassis that integrates the switching fabric and all associated control and management electronics. Ethernet interfaces are delivered by the addition of one or more field-replaceable and hot-swappable Ethernet Switch Modules (ESMs).

The innovative design leverages an advanced chip set, featuring 2.56 Tbps of switching and 1,428 Mpps of frame forwarding performance.

Highlights:

• Campus Core and as the Spine Switch in a Data Center Spine/Leaf Top-of-Rack deployment
• Efficient compact form-factor that reduces power and footprint consumption
• Flexibly supports high-density 10 Gigabit, 40 Gigabit, 100 Gigabit, and Combination modules
• Supports both conventional Routed IP and/or Fabric-based network deployments

Fabric Connect benefits include:

• Makes the need to configure network-wide VLANs obsolete
• Replaces multiple legacy protocols with this one single unified technology
• Removes the risk of network loops
• Delivers an Edge-only provisioning model that seamlessly integrates with orchestration and automation
• Fully optimizing all links and all devices enabling businesses to get the most out of infrastructure investments
