8-Port Ethernet L3 Half-Width Switch, 6 x 40Gb QSFP+, with 2 x 100G QSFP28, Support MPLS&MLAG

The S8550-6Q2C is a high-bandwidth switch designed for campus core and distribution networks with 6x 40Gb QSFP+ and 2x 100Gb QSFP28 ports, a hot-swappable power supply and two smart fans. With its half-width design, two units can fit in a single rack unit, enhancing density, power redundancy, and link availability. The switch supports a wide range of protocols and features, including routing and forwarding capabilities such as RIP, OSPF, BGP, ISIS, and MPLS, network virtualisation and redundancy technologies like MLAG, VXLAN, GRE, and LACP, and robust traffic control and security measures including QoS and 802.1X authentication. These features ensure efficient service deployment and seamless management for both Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks.
With its high-performance and enhanced scalability, this switch meets data centre TOR, enterprise network core and distribution, E-sports core, storage network and HCI (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure) networks requirements, to support ever-growing business demands.

MLAG Realizes Uninterrupted Services

MLAG delivers device-level link redundancy and load balancing by aggregating links across two switches, enhancing network performance, reliability, and service continuity.

MPLS Helps Establish Point-to-point Connections

MPLS enables small and medium-sized operators to create tunnels for their users, which helps build point-to-point connections and achieves intercommunication between user networks. (Advanced License LIC-FIX-MA Required)

VXLAN-BGP-EVPN Achieves Arbitrary Migration of Virtual Machines

VXLAN-BGP-EVPN automatically discovers and establishes tunnels, enabling unrestricted and seamless migration of data centre virtual machines with no user perception. (Advanced License LIC-FIX-MA Required)

Flexible Management Options

Innovative design supports CLI and easy-to-use Web GUI eliminating rip and replace of equipment as network management needs grow.
