Existing 1/10 GbESwitches

Single Network Campus

• C9010 connected via VLT for redundancy and scale

• C1048P cabled together and connected to C9010

• All networking ports configured, viewed and managed centrally

Scalable Aggregation

• Chassis core delivering over 5Tbps capacity access and aggregation capacity

• Multi-vendor friendly and interoperable

• Access switches managed & maintained in legacy fashion

Investment Protection

• Chassis core, legacy access switches ‘capped’

• New access switches centrally managed via C9010 and viewed a single logical tier

• Existing access devices continue to connect normally

Campus network platforms

NEW! C9010 and C1048P Ethernet platforms

*Future capability; 2,000 virtual port support at launch

Intelligently designed systems• Dense multi-rate ready chassis, ½ width line cards in a

compact 8RU.• Tool-less mounting standard with optional ReadyRails™• Up to 2.5Tbps total throughput (248 x 10GbE/ 60 x40GbE

ports) • 100GbE ready backplane with unique tool-less upgrade to
