AT-8948

MultiIayer IPv4 and IPv6 Switch

AT-8948

4 x 1000BASE-X SFP uplinks

48 x 10/100BASE-T copper ports

Industry-leading Features

The AT-8948 offers performance, flexibility, and reliability. Packaged in a compact 1RU standard rack mount chassis, the AT-8948 is a highly featured access solution incorporating a new generation switching core for wire-speed layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 routing, exceptional Quality of Service (QoS) features, and a robust hardware design with hot-swappable dual power supplies.

Policy-Based Quality of Service

Comprehensive, low latency QoS features operating at wire-speed provide flow-based traffic management with full classification, prioritization, traffic shaping and min/max bandwidth profiles.The AT-8948 QoS features are ideal for service providers wanting to ensure maximum availability of premium voice, video and data services, and at the same time manage customer service level agreements (SLAs). For enterprise customers, the AT-8948 QoS features protect productivity by guaranteeing performance of business-critical applications including VoIP services, and help restore and maintain responsiveness of enterprise applications in the networked workplace.

IPv6 Capability

The AT-8948P (IPv6 option) is one of the few switches on the market today that can provide high performance wire-speed IPv6 unicast and multicast routing, and IPv6 QoS features.The AT-8948P pushes IPv6 capability to the network edge and allows IPv6 early-adopters to get a head start in the migration to next generation IPv6 networks.
