The 4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet line card for the Force10 E-Series E600 and E1200 is based on the innovative Force10 TeraScale™ ASICs and provides pluggable XFP modules supporting distances up to 80 km.
This line card provides industry-leading density of up to 56 line rate, non-blocking 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single chassis. Additionally, the TeraScale ASICs and E-Series architecture enable line-rate performance with QoS and Access Control Lists (ACLs) enabled, jumbo frame support, with simultaneous L2 switching, IPv4 and IPv6 routing.
These cards present a truly flexible solution that can be used in applications spanning the LAN, MAN and WAN.
Key Features
- Full line-rate throughput for 64 to 9,252 byte Ethernet frames on all ports with all features enabled
- Pluggable XFP modules providing support for SR, LR, ER, ZR, DWDM and CX4 interfaces
- CLI selectable option for WAN or LAN PHY on a per port basis, enabling flexible network design at the line card level
- Guaranteed packet delivery through virtual output queues that minimize latency and eliminate head-of-line blocking
- Wire-speed security features including up to 4K L2, 26K IPv4 and 8K IPv6 Access Control Lists (ACLs) per line card (using default CAM profiles)
- Fully functional switching and routing with up to 64K MACs, 256K IPv4 addresses or 192K/6K IPv4/IPv6 addresses per series EF line card, or 512K IPv4 addresses and 32K IPv6 addresses per series EG line card (using default CAM profiles)
- Configurable CAM profiles for IPv4/IPv6 FIBs, and ACLs that allow flexible CAM allocation based on network requirements
