FS-S8550-6Q2C, 8-Port Ethernet L3 Half-Width Switch, 6 x 40Gb QSFP+, with 2 x 100G QSFP28, Support MPLS&MLAG
FS-S8550-6Q2C, 8-Port Ethernet L3 Half-Width Switch, 6 x 40Gb QSFP+, with 2 x 100G QSFP28, Support MPLS&MLAG
The FS-S8550-6Q2C is a high-bandwidth switch designed for campus core and distribution networks with 6x 40Gb QSFP+ and 2x 100Gb QSFP28 ports, a hot-swappable power supply and two smart fans. With its half-width design, two units can fit in a single rack unit, enhancing density, power redundancy, and link availability.
The switch supports a wide range of protocols and features, including routing and forwarding capabilities such as RIP, OSPF, BGP, ISIS, and MPLS, network virtualization and redundancy technologies like MLAG, VXLAN, GRE, and LACP, and robust traffic control and security measures including QoS and 802.1X authentication.
These features ensure efficient service deployment and seamless management for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
With its high-performance and enhanced scalability, this switch meets data center TOR, enterprise network core and distribution, E-sports core, storage network and HCI (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure) networks requirements, to support ever-growing business demands.
