Building 1
•For midsize server installations, two half-width M4300
10GbE models can be paired in a single rack space for
redundant top-of-rack
•Compared with single top-of-rack switch installation, such
two-unit horizontal stacking is cost-eective yet highly
ecient for HA
•Management unit hitless failover and nonstop forwarding
ensure no single point of failure for servers and storage
Building 2
•Common for intermediate distribution frames (IDF) in K-12
and other large campuses, stacking topologies greatly
simplify deployments at the edge
•While reducing the number of logical units to manage,
stacking also brings network resiliency with distributed
uplinks in aggregation to the core
•Management unit hitless failover and Non-Stop
Forwarding (NSF) ensures continuous uptime for
clients across the stack
Building 3
•For typical collapsed core installations, with a variety of 1G
and 10G access ports in branch oces, server rooms or
campus high performance labs
•M4300 10G models can stack with M4300 1G models,
enabling innovative “spine and leaf” topologies
•Spine and leaf architectures deliver highest performance
with every leaf switch (1G) connecting to every spine
switch (10G) for a fully non-blocking deployment
•With management unit hitless failover and nonstop
forwarding, leaf switches keep forwarding L2 and L3
trac in and out, while backup spine unit guarantees
connectivity to the core
