Key Features

High-density 10GE/25GE forwarding

The switch offers high-density 10GE/25GE forwarding. It provides powerful hardware forwarding capacity and abundant campus features. It provides up to 48/24*1GE/10GE/25GE autosensing SFP28 ports and 8*100G ports. The switch supports modular power modules and fan trays. By using different fan trays, the switch can provide field changeable a VSS lows.

Embedded Access Controller

WD Enterprise 25G Core Switches implements the WLAN function by installing an AC feature pack on the main control unit, thereby implementing both the wired function and the WLAN function on a single device. Embedded AC is a low-cost WLAN solution, save overall investment, improve forwarding capacity, realized a true unified wired and wireless solution in Campus. Max 2K AP supported on one single switche

WatchDog Virtual Switching System (VSS)

WatchDog VSS virtualizes multiple Advanced Aggregation switches into a single virtual switch, offering several key benefits. It enhances scalability by allowing easy device addition, providing a single management point, and supporting plug-and-play functionality with auto-software updates. VSS ensures high availability with redundant control and data planes, enabling non-stop Layer 3 forwarding and eliminating single points of failure. The system also supports redundancy and load balancing through distributed link aggregation, optimizing link usage and backup. Additionally, it offers flexibility and resiliency by using standard GE ports for VSS links, allowing bandwidth customization and supporting scalable topologies across racks or campuses.

Wide Range of Advanced Features

The switch offers a variety of advanced features to enhance network performance and flexibility. Its modular hardware and software design enable hot swapping and redundancy for hardware components like power modules and fan trays, while software modularity allows for on-demand feature installation or removal. This refined architecture minimizes packet processing delays. The switch also supports Software-Defined Networking (SDN), which separates the control plane from the forwarding plane, simplifying network management, reducing maintenance costs, and enabling flexible traffic handling.
