N o t e

*Stacking the switches using 10-GbE is only applicable with the 3500yl and

 

6200yl switches, not the 3500 10/100 switches.

 

 

Optimizing the 10-GbE Port Configuration

The 10-GbE ports on the ProCurve Switch 3500yl and 6200yl series are designed to deliver full 10 Gbps wire-speed to each port, where either one or two ports are in a linked state with another device. When three or four 10-GbE ports are in a linked state, the 10-GbE ports support an aggregate bandwidth of 28.8 Gbps across the linked ports.

As illustrated in the figure below, internally, there are two 14.4-Gbps channels between each of the 4 10-GbE ports and the switch fabric.
