SWITCHBLADE

Layer 3 Modular Switch

AT-SB4004

4 line card capacity

Up to 96 Gb ports

AT-SB4008

8 line card capacity

Up to 192 Gb ports

Designed to meet the most demanding

performance requirements of enterprise class

networks, the SwitchBlade 4000 Series Layer 3

modular switches are ideally suited to network

aggregation and server connectivity. Packaged

in four or eight slot modular chassis

configurations, the SwitchBlade 4000 Series

blends state-of-the-art Layer 3 functionality with

industry leading value. Redundancy and

resiliency features including hot-swappable

Power Supply Units (PSUs), fan trays, line cards

and redundant controllers ensure high system

availability.The non-blocking switching

architecture delivers wirespeed switching and

IP/IPX routing with advanced, flexible policy-

based quality of service and rich multicast

support. Multiple user interface options provide

a set of configuration and control features that

facilitate effortless manageability while allowing

maximum flexibility and control of the network.

Eliminates network bottlenecks and

boosts network performance

AT-SB4000 Series offers uncompromised packet

switching performance, enabled by a non-blocking

switch fabric delivering Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP/IPX

data at wire-speed on all ports regardless of

packet size.With a switch capacity of up to 384

Gbps yielding 286 Mpps of throughput and up to

232,000 MAC/IP addresses, the AT-SB4000 Series

seamlessly meets the demands of education,

government, and enterprise networks.

Secure your company

The AT-SB4000 Series offers many advanced

features to ensure company security:Wire-

speed Filtering, MAC control, Port-Intrusion

Detection, Access Control Lists, Port Security,

Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Socket Layer

(SSL). With 4096 VLANs available, which are

Port, Protocol, Subnet, and MAC Address based,

security across VLANs is assured.The security

features (MAC & IP addresses, SYN, ACK bit

level) are in the hardware.

A robust network to minimize the

cost of downtime

Downtime is minimized to 30 seconds with

switch controller redundancies.VRRP provides

automatic router backup in mission-critical

environments. Using this feature, multiple

AT-SB4000 Series switches can share a virtual IP

address used as the default LAN gateway, so

should the master fail, the virtual IP address is

seamlessly assumed by the other switches

resulting in a down time of only three seconds.

LAN devices can continue to be configured

(e.g. using DHCP) with a single default gateway

address, and since VRRP is a standard Internet

protocol, full interoperability with other vendors

supporting VRRP is assured. With N+1 power

supply redundancy downtime is completely

eliminated, as it is with port trunking.

RSTP ensures a rapid system recovery following

a spanning tree bridge, bridge port or LAN

failure, or removal.The hot-swappable switch

controllers, power supplies, line cards and cooling

fans ensure this core network device keeps

networks alive 24/7.

Port trunking is provided to assure very reliable

high-speed connections. Cooling is assured with

up to 11 cubic meters / minute of airflow for

the four fan AT-SB4004, and up to 19 cubic

meters / minute of airflow for the six fan

AT-SB4008.

Quality of Service

The AT-SB4000 Series market leading Quality of

Service (QoS) mechanism allows traffic shaping in

a highly programmable manner based on Layer 2
