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
