CHAPTER 1
RackSwitch G8000
Description and Specifications
The RackSwitch G8000 is a rackable aggregation switch with unmatched line-rate Layer 2/3
performance. The G8000 uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that provides
simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
The G8000 contains forty-eight 1GbE ports and up to four optional 10GbE ports. The Gigabit
Ethernet ports are comprised of forty-four 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports and four Small
Form-factor, Pluggable (SFP) slots. The SFP slots can be populated with optical or copper
transceivers. The four optional 10GbE ports are comprised of one or two dual-port uplink modules
(SFP+ or CX4).
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.
