Best value switching performance
16K MAC address table, 1K concurrent VLANs and 32 (IPv4) 32 (IPv6) Layer 3 route table size for the access layer
Each switch provides line-rate local switching and routing capacity
80 PLUS certified power supplies for energy high eciency
16 Mb packet buer dynamically shared for intensive applications
Low latency at all network speeds, including 2.5 Gigabit, 5 Gigabit copper and 10 Gigabit fiber interfaces
Jumbo frames support of up to 9Kb accelerating storage performance for backup and cloud applications
iSCSI Flow Acceleration and Automatic Protection/QoS
for virtualization and server room networks containing
iSCSI initiators and iSCSI targets
• Detecting the establishment and termination of iSCSI sessions and connections by snooping packets used
in the iSCSI protocol
• Maintaining a database of currently active iSCSI sessions and connections to store data, including classifier
rules for desired QoS treatment
• Installing and removing classifier rule sets as needed for the iSCSI session trac
• Monitoring activity in the iSCSI sessions to allow for aging out session entries if the session termination
packets are not received
• Avoiding session interruptions during times of congestion that would otherwise cause iSCSI packets to be
dropped
SDN-ready, M4200 OpenFlow feature enables the
switch to be managed by a centralized OpenFlow
Controller using the OpenFlow protocol
• Support of a single-table OpenFlow 1.3 data forwarding path
• The OpenFlow feature can be administratively enabled and disabled at any time
• The administrator can allow the switch to automatically assign an IP address to the OpenFlow feature or to
specifically select which address should be used
• The administrator can also direct the OpenFlow feature to always use the service port (out-of-band
management port)
• The Controller IP addresses are specified manually through the switch user interface
• The list of OpenFlow Controllers and the controller connection options are stored in the Controller Table
• The OpenFlow component in M4200 soware uses this information to set up and maintain SSL
connections with the OpenFlow Controllers
• M4200 implements a subset of the OpenFlow 1.0.0 protocol and a subset of the OpenFlow 1.3
• It also implements enhancements to the OpenFlow protocol to optimize it for the Data Center
environment and to make it compatible with Open vSwitch
Access layer availability
Link Aggregation, also called Port Channeling or Port Trunking, oers powerful network redundancy and load balancing in aggregation to a dual network core
Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree (MSTP) allow for rapid transitionning of the ports to the Forwarding state and the suppression of Topology

Mount for Attachment Outside the Rack
Both the switch back panel and
bottom panel contain mounting
holes to allow for attachment
