AT-SB4008

8 line card capacity Up to 192 Gb ports

Designed to meet the most demanding performance requirements of enterprise class networks, the SwitchBlade® 4000 Series Layer 3 modular switches are ideally suited to network aggregation and server connectivity. Packaged in four or eight slot modular chassis configurations, the SwitchBlade® 4000 Series blends state-of-the-art Layer 3 functionality with industry leading value. Redundancy and resiliency features including hot-swappable Power Supply Units (PSUs), fan trays, line cards and redundant controllers ensure high system availability.The switching architecture delivers wire-speed switching and IP/IPX routing with advanced, flexible policy-based quality of service and rich multicast support. Multiple user interface options provide a set of configuration and control features that facilitate effortless manageability while allowing maximum flexibility and control of the network.

Eliminate network bottlenecks and boost network performance

AT-SB4000 Series offers uncompromised packet switching performance, delivering Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP/IPX data at wire-speed on all ports regardless of packet size. With a switch capacity of up to 384 Gbps yielding 286 Mpps of throughput, the AT-SB4000 Series seamlessly meets the demands of education, government, and enterprise networks.

Secure your company

The AT-SB4000 Series offers many advanced features to ensure company security:Wire- speed Filtering, MAC control, Port-Intrusion

Detection, Access Control Lists, Port Security, Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL). With 4096 VLANs available, which are Port, Protocol, Subnet, and MAC Address based, security across VLANs is assured.The security features (MAC & IP addresses, SYN, ACK bit level) are in the hardware.

Minimize the cost of downtime

The SwitchBlade® hot-swappable switch controllers, power supplies, and line cards ensure that this core network device keeps networks alive 24/7.

With N+1 power supply redundancy downtime is completely eliminated. Cooling is assured with up to 11 cubic meters / minute of airflow for the four fan AT-SB4004, and up to 19 cubic meters / minute of airflow for the six fan AT-SB4008.

Hot-swappable switch controllers provide redundancy and, when two switch controllers are installed, sharing of load for increased performance.

Port trunking is provided to assure very reliable high-speed connections. Combining multiple physical connections in a single logical connection provides both greater bandwidth and redundancy .

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) provides automatic router backup in mission-critical environments.This feature enables multiple AT-SB4000 Series switches to share a virtual IP address, used as the default LAN gateway. Should the master fail, the virtual IP address is seamlessly assumed by the other switches.This results in a down-time of only three seconds. Meanwhile, LAN devices can continue to be configured (for example with DHCP) with a single default gateway address.

Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) prevents loops in Layer 2 networks and also provides rapid system recovery following a failure in the network.
