Highlights Of The Ethernet

Routing Switch 4500 Series
Always-on Best in class end-to-end
resiliency solution, hot-swappable unit replacement within a Stack
Chassis and integrated power redundancy.
Convergence-ready Support for PoE, true plug and play capabilities
for IP phone deployments, advanced QoS capabilities.
Energy efficient On average 36% more energy efficient than
competitive solutions,* energy saver functionality further reduces
power consumption for both switch and IP phone without losing
telephony connectivity.
Powerful Wire-speed performance, true pay-as-you-grow Stack
Chassis capabilities, delivering up to 400 ports and 384 Gbps of
virtual backplane throughput.
More Secure Standards-based 802.1x with integration to Avayas
Identity Engines portfolio for centralized, policy-based authenticated
network access.
Flexible Mix-and-match best-in-class stacking capabilities; Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in the same Stackable Chassis, with or
without PoE.
