Mass production

Key features

High performance
Stacking up to 8 devices
4x10G ports in base configuration
Hot-swappable redundant power supplies
Advanced L2 functions
L3 functions
Front-to-Back cooling

MES3348F switches can be used in service provider network as the aggregation or transport switches, as well as in data centers as Top-of-Rack switches. They have a high performance with interfaces operating at speeds of 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps.

The features’ set of MES3348F includes advanced L2 functions, static routing, dynamic routing, 4 SFP+ 10 Gbps interfaces, stack up to 8 devices, redundant and hot swappable power supplies.

Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) protocol provides fast convergence (less than 200 ms) of the network, that guarantees uninterrupted service.
