Overview of DFE-Platinum Series Module Capabilities

The Platinum Distributed Forwarding Engine (DFE) is Enterasys Networks’ next generation of enterprise modules for the Matrix N‐Series and Matrix E7 switches. These DFE modules deliver high performance and flexibility to ensure comprehensive switching, routing, Quality of Service, security, and traffic containment. Key features include:

Superior performance and capacity to support more high‐bandwidth and latency sensitive applications

10/100/1000 Base‐TX and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

Integrated Services Design that reduces the number/type of modules required, simplifies network design, and lowers entry cost

Port‐ and User‐Based Policy and Multilayer Packet Classification that provides granular control and security for business‐critical applications

High‐availability services with stateful failover for services and management

Self‐learning configuration modules with increased reliability and fault tolerance that reduces configuration time and maximizes uptime

Network‐wide configuration, change, and inventory management that is easier to install, troubleshoot, and maintain

Reduced support and maintenance costs, and decreased configuration time

Support for a variety of converged applications including VoIP with Power‐over‐ Ethernet
