Extreme Networks GM-16T3

The Triumph based GM-16T3 and GM-16X3 modules provide fast and reliable transport for high-capacity applications. Gigabit Ethernet scalability enabled by a 400% increase in Gigabit Ethernet port density, the performance necessary to provide the gigabit network access when required, and the necessary control to individually guarantee the most important network applications means that with these modules the network is used in the most optimum and efficient manner possible. The GM-16T3 and GM-16X3 modules protect the network investment now and in the future by both maintaining full inoperability with the existing Alpine infrastructure and through high-performance Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that will handle all future bandwidth requirements.

PRODUCT FEATURES:

Scales to 128 10/100/1000 copper or mini-GBIC Gigabit Ethernet connections in an Alpine 3808, with 64 and 20 Gigabit Ethernet connections in a 3804 and 3802 respectively.
Advanced T-Control traffic management providing bi-directional rate shaping relevant for growing Enterprises and metro Ethernet providers.
The GM-16T3 module integrates physical cable testing functionality directly into the switch port, which greatly simplifies troubleshooting and shortens cable based outages.
Byte based traffic accounting based on ingress port, application, VLAN or traffic priority.
Hardware-based IP/IPX routing using RIP v1/v2 OSPF, IS-IS, BGP4, PIM and DVMRP.
Hardware-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be linked to a class of service, while performing Layer 1-4 packet-level security and controlling traffic flows - all without sacrificing forwarding performance.
Backward compatible with existing Alpine products.
