Layer 2/3/4 Managed Switch
QuantaMesh | Introduction 11
Simplicity
The QuantaMesh switch can be managed through industry standard command-line interface (CLI) which
reduces the training and operating costs. It supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
both from standard MIB and private MIB for network administrator to easily configure, monitor, and
manage remotely. The Auto-installation feature implemented helps centralized management to simplify
deployment of a truly plug-and-play experience. With the evolution from IPv4 to IPv6, the QuantaMesh
switch is a IPv6 integrated management device.
High Availability
The QuantaMesh switch is designed for high availability from both hardware and software perspective.
The key features include:
-
1+1 hot-swappable power supplies
- Out-of-band management supported
- 802.1D, 802.1w and 802.1s supported
- Up to 32 ports per link aggregation group (LACP) and up to 64 groups
- Multi-chassis LAG (MLAG) for preventing the risks of single point failure
- Up to 32 paths ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy
- Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) supported
High-Performance L2/L3 access deployments
With the compact 1U form factor, high desity ports in the front panel, fron to back or back to front airflow
design, the QuantaMesh switch is idea for top-of-rack deployments in high-performance, highly
demanding data centers. The high switching capacity to be a powerful solution to aggregate
high-performance servers in the data center.
Advance IPv4 and IPv6 Routing
The QuantaMesh switch is a full layer 2 and layer 3 routing switch that supports advanced IPv4 and IPv6
routing features such as RIP v1/v2, OSPF/ECMP, RIPng and OSPFv3. The multicast routing features for
IGMP v1/v2/v3, DVMRP, PIM-DM.SM, MLD v1/v2 and PIM-DM6/SM6 are all supported.
Data Center Application
The QuantaMesh switch is an IEEE DCB-based switch delivering a high-performance solution to
integrate server edge access. The key features include:
-
Congestion Notification (CN, 802.1Qau)
- Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS, 802.1Qaz)
- Priority-based Flow Control (PFC, 802.1Qbb)
- Data Center Bridging Extension (DCBX, 802.1Qaz)
- FCoE Initiation Protocol (FIP) snooping
- Ethernet Virtual Bridging (EVB, 802.1Qbg)
