of enterprise modules for the Matrix
N-Series and Matrix E7 switches.
Within either the Matrix N-Series or E7,
Platinum DFEs are ideal for high-density
network edge, collapsed backbone, distri-
bution, and server aggregation applications.

Integrated Services Design
The industry’s first Integrated Services Design
enables every Platinum DFE to deliver:
enables every Platinum DFE to deliver:
• Switching/VLAN Services
• IP Routing
• Advanced Multilayer Packet
Classification (including Port-Based
and User-Based)
and User-Based)
• Security (User, Host, Network)
• Management, Control and Analysis
The Integrated Services Design eliminates
the need to purchase separate management
modules or supervisor engines for a lower
entry cost. All DFE modules provide a
high port density, which reduces mainte-
nance costs because fewer types of spares
are required.
