Key Solution - Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack)
VCStack - Resiliency and Stability
Today's enterprises rely on Information Technology resources and applications to access business-critical information, and for day-to-day work. A high-availability
infrastructure is now of paramount importance, starting with a resilient network core. The SwitchBlade x908 provides the ideal solution - without the expense of a
full chassis. With the benefits of high availability, increased capacity and ease of management, VCStack makes networking reliable and simple.

full chassis. With the benefits of high availability, increased capacity and ease of management, VCStack makes networking reliable and simple.
Using VCStack at the core of your network allows multiple switches to appear as a single virtual chassis. In normal operation, this virtual chassis acts as a single switch,
simplifying management. The diagram below shows link aggregation between the core VCStack and the edge switches. With link aggregation across ports on different
virtual chassis members, there is no perceptible disruption in the case of a link failure, and the full bandwidth of the network is available.

VCStack and link aggregation provide a solution where network resources are spread across the virtual chassis members, ensuring device and path resiliency.
Virtualization of the network core ensures access to information when you need it.

What's new?
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Snooping
DHCP servers allocate IP addresses to clients, and the switch keeps a record of addresses issued on each port. IP Source Guard checks against this
DHCP snooping database to ensure only clients with specific IP and/or MAC address can access the network. DHCP snooping can be combined with
other features, like Dynamic ARP Inspection, to increase security in layer 2 switched environments, and also provides a traceable history, which meets
the growing legal requirements placed on Service Providers.

sFlow
sFlow is an industry standard technology for monitoring high speed switched networks. It gives complete visibility into the use of networks enabling
performance optimization, accounting/billing for usage, and defence against security threats. Sampled packets sent to a collector ensure it always has a
real-time view of network traffic.

VCStack Fast Failover
Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) delivers resiliency and scalability to networks, simplifying management while increasing performance. Fast Failover
further enhances this advanced solution by providing absolutely minimal network downtime in the event of a problem.
