EX2500 Ethernet Switch Overview
The EX2500 Ethernet Switch is an all 10-Gigabit Ethernet rackable aggregation
switch. The EX2500 switch uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that
provides simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on
all ports.
The EX2500 switch contains 24 10-gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable Plus
(SFP+) ports and 2 1-gigabit management ports. The 10-gigabit SFP+ ports can
accept 10-gigabit optical transceivers or Direct Attach Cables (DACs).
This 1U switch is rack mountable in either the horizontal or vertical direction,
depending on your application.
You can manage the switch through the console port, or through a network
connection using Telnet, a Web Device Manager, or SNMP-based network
management software.
