The Niagara 2948 is a 1RU switching and routing system providing Layer 2 switching, IP v4/v6 routing, QoS support and management capabilities. The system supports SFP+ SR and LR and SFP SX, LX and TX media configuration.
According to the company, the system is fully manageable and is designed to integrate with data centers, blade servers, Carrier Ethernet and Metro Ethernet devices, HPC clusters, enterprise storage systems, IT security appliances and central office applications. The system is built for optimal versatility enabling multi-mode, single-mode, extended-mode fiber media configuration and direct attached cabling for Copper SFP+ connectivity.
The system enables speed flexibility as well allowing each port to transmit at 10Gbps or 1Gbps via SFP+ or SFP pluggable connectors. Based on 10 Gigabit Marvell's Prestera packet processor, the Niagara 2948 also incorporates a software suite that can be managed remotely via the management or console port, enabling full control over line-rate switching, routing and filtering.
The full switch product series also includes Niagara 2908, an 8 port 10GE managed switch, Niagara 2916, a 16 port 10GE managed switch, and Niagara 2924, a 24 port 10GE managed switch.
