Enterasys Networks SK8008-1224-F8 Switch
- Technical Specifications:
- Ports: It has a combination of 10 – Gigabit and 1 – Gigabit Ethernet ports. The 10 – Gigabit ports are suitable for high – bandwidth applications such as data center interconnects and server – to – server communication, while the 1 – Gigabit ports can connect standard network devices.
- Switching Capacity: Has an extremely high switching capacity, measured in terabits per second, which allows it to handle a massive amount of concurrent data traffic without performance degradation.
- Power over Ethernet (PoE): Some of the ports may support PoE, enabling the direct powering of devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones through the Ethernet cable.

- Functional Characteristics:
- Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) Support: Allows the creation of multiple VLANs, which can segment the network into logical sub – networks. This enhances network security, as traffic between different VLANs can be controlled, and also improves network management by grouping related devices together.
- Quality of Service (QoS): Prioritizes different types of network traffic based on predefined policies. For example, it can give higher priority to real – time applications like voice and video to ensure smooth and uninterrupted operation.
- Application Scenarios:
- Data Centers: In a data center, it can be used to connect servers, storage area networks (SANs), and other network devices. The high – speed ports and large switching capacity are essential for handling the large amounts of data transferred between servers and storage systems.
- Large Enterprise Campuses: For large enterprise campuses with multiple buildings and a large number of employees, this switch can serve as a core switch, connecting different departmental networks and providing high – bandwidth access to the Internet and other external resources.
