The P333R-LB enhances the P330 stackable switch solution by providing full load balancing and routing functionality in a single switch.

Recent trends in network equipment in general, and switches in particular, have been towards ease of use and deployment.

Avaya leads these trends: the P333R-LB continues the P330 family tradition of being powerful, simple, flexible and offering an unprecedented price/ performance ratio.

The P333R-LB has the same flexibility as the P330 system: The P333R-LB has both expansion module to allow a variety of uplinks (fiber Ethernet, GE copper fiber or GBIC and even ATM) and

a stackability option.

This stackability option allows scalability and investment protection for customers needing more ports and load balancing throughput, increasing investment protection on any network design.

However good a product is, it must deliver the performance you need at a viable price. The P333R-LB provides all your load balancing needs in a single, compact switch.

With the P333R-LB, you can now afford to implement full Layer 2 and 3 switching and Layer 4 load bal- ancing anywhere in your network. Now applications such as Server load balancing, Firewall Load Balancing, Application Redirection and Policy-based load balancing have become cost-effective.

The P333R-LB provides all this in one switch. Compare this with other solutions that require several expensive switches to perform the same functionality.

Once configured, the P333R-LB “disappears” as far as your users are concerned. As a result, you do not need to perform a large-scale reconfiguration to benefit from increased availability and throughput.

P333R-LB specifications

The Avaya P333R-LB is a robust and versatile switch that is part of Avaya's portfolio aimed at enterprise networking solutions. This switch is designed to enhance the performance and scalability of network infrastructure while ensuring high availability and reliability.

One of the main features of the P333R-LB is its Layer 3 switching capability, which allows for efficient routing within an organization's network. This capability is particularly beneficial for organizations with multiple VLANs, as it simplifies the routing process and ensures that data packets are transmitted in the most efficient manner possible.

The P333R-LB is equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize traffic based on the type of application being used. This ensures that critical applications, such as VoIP and video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and low latency required for optimal performance. Additionally, it supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols, making it adaptable to a variety of networking environments.

Another important feature of the Avaya P333R-LB is its stackable design. This allows multiple switches to be interconnected, creating a single logical unit. This stacking capability not only simplifies management but also increases overall network capacity and redundancy. In case of a hardware failure, the stack can continue operating without interruption, maintaining network integrity and service continuity.

The switch also integrates advanced security features, including support for MAC filtering, access control lists, and port security. These features help to safeguard network resources from unauthorized access and potential threats. Moreover, the P333R-LB supports 802.1X port-based authentication, which adds an additional layer of security during user access to the network.

The Avaya P333R-LB comes with multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing for high-speed connectivity to devices such as servers, workstations, and IP phones. This ensures that all devices on the network can communicate effectively, supporting the demands of modern enterprise environments.

For management and monitoring, the P333R-LB offers a user-friendly web interface along with SNMP support, enabling network administrators to easily configure settings and monitor network performance. This simplicity in management is crucial for IT teams that need to ensure optimal network performance while minimizing downtime.

In summary, the Avaya P333R-LB is a feature-rich, scalable, and reliable switch that meets the needs of demanding enterprise networks. With its advanced technologies, QoS support, stackable design, robust security features, and high-speed connectivity options, the P333R-LB is positioned to support a wide range of applications and enhance overall network performance.
