RackSwitch G8264
Description and Specifications
The RackSwitch G8264 is a rackable aggregation switch with unmatched line-rate Layer 2/3
performance. The G8264 uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that provides
simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
The G8264 contains forty-eight 10GbE SFP+ ports and four 40GbE QSFP+ ports. The SFP+ ports
can be populated with optical or copper transceivers, or Direct Attach Cables (DACs).
The QSFP+ ports can be populated with optical QSFP+ transceivers or DACs.
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.
