Each switch ships standard with one power supply (including a power cord for the country to which it is being shipped),
RJ-45 cable, RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial port adapter, and a 19 in. rack-mount kit. A second power supply is optional to
provide resiliency. The appropriate power cord accompanying that power supply needs to be ordered separately. Virtual
Chassis cables must be ordered separately and can be for any of the optics supported (40GbE DAC is recommended for
Virtual Chassis connections).

EFL includes license for OSPFv4/v6, PIM-SM/SSM/DM, IGMP v1/v2/v3, and VRF-Lite. AFL includes license for IS-IS
and BGP (EFL needs to be purchased and installed separately before installing AFL).
