Aggregation switch MES2300-24F

• Bandwidth up to 128 Gbps
• Non-blocking architecture
• Up to 4 ports of 10G
• L3 switches
• Stacking up to 8 devices

The new generation of MES access switches connects end users to the network of large enterprises, small and medium-sized businesses and service provider networks using 1G/10G interfaces.

MES2300-24F can be also used in service provi-der networks as the aggregation or transport switches.

The device ports support both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds, providing flexibility in use and the ability to gradually upgrade to higher data rates. The non-blocking architecture allows correct processing of packets under maximum loads, while maintaining minimal and predictable delays on all types of traffic.

The switch functionality provides physical stacking, support for VLANs, multicast groups, and advanced security features.
