Overview:
The ExtremeSwitching™ VSP 8284XSQ is a compact form-factor Ethernet switch designed to deliver sophisticated yet simplified functionality in deployments for mid-sized businesses. It provides a total of 84 fixed ports, configured as 80 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, presented as SFP+ sockets and 4 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet, presented as QSFP+ sockets. The innovative design leverages an advanced chipset, featuring 2.56Tbps of switching and 1,428Mpps of frame forwarding performance.
The VSP 8284XSQ adds significant flexibility to the ExtremeSwitching portfolio. Introducing the Compact Form-Factor concept, the VSP 8284XSQ provides a very high-capacity, high-performance connectivity solution for mid-sized campus networks.
The VSP 8284XSQ also natively supports the Extreme Networks Fabric Connect technology. Some of the key advantages that Fabric Connect delivers include:
- Makes the need to configure network-wide VLANs obsolete
- Replaces multiple legacy protocols with a single unified technology
- Removes the risk of network loops
- Delivers an Edge-only provisioning model which seamlessly integrates with orchestration and automation
- Fully optimizes all links and all devices enabling businesses to get the most out of infrastructure investments
Traditionally, provisioning new network services required engineers to touch every device in the service path, configuring each device to enable both the active and redundant links. The bigger the network the more complex and risky this becomes.
Leveraging Fabric Connect enables a profound change. Rather than the network appearing as a mass of individual devices it becomes a single cloud, so that engineers only need to touch the single unique device that is providing service directly to the end-point. Fabric Connect technology automatically and instantly propagates all of service attributes to every other node within the cloud, delivering end-to-end connectivity.
Highlights
- High-performance 10/40 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
- 80 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet configured as SFP+ sockets
- 4 ports of 40 Gigabit Ethernet configured as QSFP+ sockets
- Efficient compact form-factor that reduces power and footprint consumption
- Supports both conventional Routed IP and/or Fabric-based networking deployments
- Delivers high-end functionality, performance, and scalability while helping avoid the ‘Chassis Tax’
Features:
System Compatibility
The VSP 8284XSQ was introduced with VOSS 4.0 software version, which is the minimum level of software to operate the switch. The recent VOSS 7.1 release delivers the following major enhancements:
- Application Telemetry
- VXLAN VTEP Hardware Configuration and Management using OVSDB
Application Telemetry is a unique feature of ExtremeAnalytics that enables the ExtremeSwitching infrastructure to participate in the forwarding and analysis of network application flows. By combining packet flow information from the VSP switch along with deep packet inspection abilities of ExtremeAnalytics, it provides actionable insights into network and application performance. This all without the need for expensive sensors or collectors. With this release, an Application Telemetry agent on the VSP can now work in tandem with ExtremeAnalytics to deliver this granular visibility into application performance, users, locations and devices.
