| Features and Benefits |
|---|
| Highly scalable fabric | Designed to support high 1/10/100-Gbps port densities, Provides built-in scalability for investment protection |
| Dual RSP to provide an active-active switch fabric | Offers traffic load balancing simultaneously across both fabrics, Offers highly available system where loss of one RSP allows for unimpeded performance per slot |
| Distributed forwarding plane architecture | Allows line cards to support independent forwarding for enhanced performance and scale |
| Memory-less switch fabric | Ensures transparent nonblocking packet forwarding |
| Virtual output queuing and arbitration | Offers service intelligence with prioritization of traffic (unicast and multicast), Provides efficient congestion management mechanism and avoids problems related to head-of-line blocking |
| Centralized arbiter | Uses an efficient credit mechanism to help ensure transparent switchover with zero packet loss |
| Two independent clock source connections (BITS and Synchronization Supply Unit [SSU])/DTI | Offers redundant, centralized network synchronization support |
| 40-GB hard disk drive (HDD) | Allows storing of core dumps and helps reduce the system mean time to repair (MTTR) |
| Embedded Universal Service Bus (eUSB) memory port | Provides access to USB flash memory devices for software image loading and recovery |
| Front-panel LEDs | Provides visual indication of RSP status (active or standby), power management, and activity on Compact Flash and HDD |
| Management ports | Provides easy access to system console |
