S8550-16Q8C is a high-performance switch of 16x 40Gb QSFP+ and 8x 100Gb QSFP28 ports which can be split to 4x 10G and 4x 10/25G respectively, loaded with hot-swappable and redundant power supplies and fans. The switch offers complete L2/3 features and protocols (RIP, OSPF, BGP) for rapid service deployment and efficient management of traditional networks. It also includes advanced capabilities like MLAG, EVPN, VXLAN, IPv4/IPv6, PFC, and ECN, along with diverse management options through Intelligent Ethernet OAM.
S8550-16Q8C ethernet switch supports high concurrency and multi-service isolation for medium to large enterprises core, and facilitates Spine-Leaf architecture deployment for large-scale and cloud computing data centers.
