Non-blocking 64Gbps switching fabric
With a powerful, non-blocking 64Gbps switching fabric, this Layer 3 switch is specifically designed to meet the
rapidly changing needs of growing companies. This flexible routing Switch is an ideal wiring closet or collapsed
backbone solution for small and medium-sized businesses, and for branch offices or departments of large
enterprises.
Powerful 96-port stack master
The BitStorm L3S-T can stand alone or be a master controlling a three-unit stack with up to 96 Fast Ethernet and
two Gigabit ports.
This Switch can control any combination of up to three of these EN slave switches:
BitStorm L3S-X with 24 fixed 10/100Base-TX ports with RJ-45 connectors●
A unique stacking interface connects a BitStorm L3S-X switch directly to the BitStorm L3S-T's switching fabric
through slots on the back panel shown below. This is a dedicated 8Gbps connection between each slave and the
master and guarantees full wire-speed, non-blocking performance on all ports throughout the stack.

Wire-speed routing, VLANs, QoS traffic classes
Wire-speed IP routing, VLANs and Quality of Service (QoS) traffic classes are some of the other advanced
traffic-enhancing capabilities built into the BitStorm L3S-T. Network administrators can configure these options to
eliminate traditional routers and their bottlenecks, set priorities for network traffic and keep bandwidth-intensive
