RackSwitch G8124
Description and Specifications
The RackSwitch G8124 is an all 10Gb Ethernet rackable aggregation switch with unmatched
line-rate Layer 2 performance. The G8124 uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that
provides simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
The G8124 contains twenty-four 10Gb Small Form-factor, Pluggable (SFP+) slots and two
1Gb management ports. The 10Gb SFP+ slots can accept 1Gb copper transceivers,
10Gb optical transceivers, or Direct Attach Cables (DAC).
This 1U switch is rack mountable in either the horizontal or vertical direction, depending on your
application.
You can manage the switch through the console port, or through a network connection using Telnet,
a Web browser-based interface, or SNMP-based network management software.
