MES3348F
MES3348 switches can be used as aggregation or transport Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) protocol
switches in service provider networks and as Top-of-Rack provides fast convergence (less than 200 ms) of the
switches for data centers. They ensure high performance due to network, that guarantees uninterrupted service.
the interfaces operating at speed of 10 or 1 Gbps.
The switches comply with CE requirements.
The MES3348 feature set includes advanced L2 functions,
static routing, dynamic routing, 4 SFP+ 10 Gbps interfaces,
stacking of up to 8 devices, redundant and hot swappable
power supplies .
