X-Pedition 8000 Enterprise
Backbone Switch Router
|
Industry-Leading Performance, Control and
Flexibility
Enterasys Networks(TM) award-winning X-Pedition family
represents a new generation of switch routing solutions
engineered to support today's rapidly expanding enterprises.
Designed to fit in a small corporate backbone or the wiring
closet as part of a larger enterprise, the 8-slot X-Pedition
8000 combines wire-speed performance at gigabit rates, pinpoint
control of application flows, and superior routing capacity to
ensure high availability of internal and external networks.
Like the larger X-Pedition 8600, the X-Pedition 8000 delivers
full-function, wire-speed IP/IPX routing--both unicast (IP:RIP,
OSPF, BGP, IPX:RIP) and multicast (IGMP, DVMRP). Powered by a
non-blocking 16 Gigabit per second switching fabric, its
throughput exceeds 15 million packets per second and can be
configured with up to 56 10/100 ports or 14 Gigabit Ethernet
ports.
Enterprise requirements are met through massive table
capacity and redundancy. The X-Pedition router is also the
industry's first Gigabit switching router with WAN capabilities.
The WAN interfaces extend the benefits of the X-Pedition router
to remote locations, providing network administrators
application-level control from the desktop to the WAN edge, all
at wire speed.
The unique X-Pedition architecture enables you to route or
switch packets based on the information in Layer 4 or on the
traditional source-destination information in Layer 3. This
application-level control allows the X-Pedition to guarantee
security and end-to-end quality of service (QoS) while
maintaining wire-speed throughput. QoS policies may encompass
all the applications in the network, groups of users, or relate
specifically to a single host-to-host application flow.
The X-Pedition 8000 is easily configured and managed through
comprehensive, Java-based network management software, which
includes intuitive wizards and drag-and-drop operation.
Unmatched Performance with Wire-Speed
Routing and Switching
The X-Pedition 8000 minimizes network congestion by routing more
than 15 million packets per second (pps). The 16 Gbps switching
fabric in the X-Pedition delivers full-function unicast and
multicast wire-speed IP/IPX routing at gigabit speeds on all
ports.
The X-Pedition's custom ASICs switch or route traffic at wire
speed based on Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 information. These
ASICs also store QoS policies and security filters, providing
wire-speed performance even when QoS and security filters are
enabled. As a result, network managers no longer need to make
compromises when it comes to performance and functionality; the
X-Pedition delivers both.
Application-Level QoS and Access
Control—at Wire Speed
Based on Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 information, the
X-Pedition allows network managers to identify traffic and set
QoS policies, without compromising wire-speed performance.
The X-Pedition can guarantee bandwidth on an
application-by-application basis, thereby accommodating
high-priority traffic even during peak periods of usage. QoS
policies can be broad enough to encompass all the applications
in the network, or relate specifically to a single host-to-host
application flow.
Unlike conventional routers, the X-Pedition's performance
does not degrade when security filters are implemented.
Wire-speed security, obtained through 20,000 filters, enables
network managers to benefit from both performance and security.
Filters can be set based on Layer 2, Layer 3 or Layer 4
information, enabling network managers to control access based
not only on IP addresses, but also on host-to-host application
flows.
Wire-Speed Multicast to Support
Convergence Applications
The X-Pedition's switching fabric is capable of replicating
packets in hardware, eliminating performance bottlenecks caused
by conventional software-based routers. By providing the
necessary infrastructure, the X-Pedition turns the network into
an efficient multicast medium, supporting DVMRP and per-port
IGMP.
Industry-Leading Capacity
Large networks require large table capacities for storing
routes, application flows, QoS rules, VLAN information and
security filters. The X-Pedition 8000 provides table capacities
that are an order of magnitude greater than most other solutions
available today, supporting up to 100,000 routes, 2,000,000
application flows and 400,000 Layer 2 MAC addresses.
Full-function wire-speed IP/IPX routing enables the
X-Pedition to scale seamlessly as the network evolves. The
chassis based X-Pedition can be configured with up to 56 10/100
ports or up to 14 Gigabit Ethernet ports. More than 4,000 VLANs,
20,000 security filters and large per-port buffers provide the
capacity to handle peak traffic across even the largest
enterprise backbones.
Comprehensive Management for Easy
Deployment, Changes and Troubleshooting
VLAN Management—The X-Pedition can be configured to
support VLANs based on ports and protocols. Network managers can
use Layer 2 VLANs with 802.1p prioritization and 802.1Q tagging,
and can configure VLANs using NetSight Switch and Topology
Manager.
Extensive Performance Monitoring—The X-Pedition paves
the way for proactive planning of bandwidth growth and efficient
network troubleshooting by providing RMON and RMON 2
capabilities per port.
