BlackDiamond 8800 Series—Page 3

BlackDiamond 8800 series switches deliver 
industry leading 3.8 Tbps of switching 
bandwidth, and over 2,840 Mpps Layer 2 
– Layer 3 hardware forwarding rate. 

•  256 Gbps per slot bidirectional 

bandwidth

•  Local switching on every I/O module

BlackDiamond 8800 series switches 
support up to 2,352 gigabit ports or up to 
582 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports in a single 
seven-foot rack, allowing  
BlackDiamond 8800 series switches to 
deliver very cost-effective connectivity for 
a range of edge, aggregation, core and 
data center needs.  

Supporting jumbo frames allows cluster 
computing applications to optimize 
network performance. 

IPv6 makes available trillions of new IP 
addresses and offers better address 
allocation, address aggregation, and 
features that provide significantly greater 
end-to-end connectivity and services. 
BlackDiamond 8800 series switches 
support IPv6 today, and enable enterprises 
to get ready to handle IPv6 traffic as this 
traffic enters their networks. 

BlackDiamond 8800 series switches 
support 8 queues per port and a range of 
QoS technologies that can prioritize and 
predictably handle high-priority traffic 
policing or rate-limiting on ingress, 802.1q 
tagging and DiffServ marking, and shaping 
on egress. The Extreme Networks tradition 
of building products with low latency and 
jitter continues with BlackDiamond 8800 
series switches, allowing network managers 
to build high-performance networks.

PoE allows BlackDiamond 8800 series 
switches to support large IP Telephony 
and wireless AP deployments. 
BlackDiamond 8810 can support up to 333 
Class 3 ports in a single 14RU chassis or can 
power a maximum of 432 PoE ports in a 
single chassis with Class 1 or 2 power. No 
external power trays are needed in order to 
power up fully loaded BlackDiamond 8800 
series switches with Class 1, 2 or 3 devices. 

BlackDiamond 8800 series switches 
incorporate LLDP to simplify trouble-
shooting of enterprise networks and 
enhance the ability of network manage-
ment tools to discover and maintain 
accurate network topologies.

BlackDiamond 8800 series switches set 
the stage for convergence applications by 
allowing enterprises to add new access 
devices in a non-disruptive plug-and-play 
fashion. Voice and wireless services can 
be easily implemented without major 
network upgrades. BlackDiamond 8800 
series switches support automatic 
provisioning of VoIP using LLDP and 
event-based command scripting capability. 
It allows dynamic configuration of voice 
VLANs and QoS. This auto-configuration 
capability allows you to configure VoIP 
phone settings such as voice VLAN 
settings, call server IP address configura-
tion, etc. This level of simplicity in 
managing network changes will greatly 
reduce operating expenses.  

As part of the ExtremeXOS 12.3 software 
release, the BlackDiamond 8800 series 
switches support virtualization, specifically 
virtual routing and dynamic movement of 
virtual servers. Virtual routing is also 
supported in the BlackDiamond 10808, 
BlackDiamond 12800 series, and the 
BlackDiamond 20808. 

The BlackDiamond 8800 series switches 
typically consume 1.5 Watts (2.1 Watts 
maximum) per Gigabit Ethernet port and 
7.0 Watts (10.4 Watts maximum) per 10 
Gigabit Ethernet port. This is significantly 
lower than other switches in the industry, 
and can provide considerable savings in 
power and cooling costs.

Extreme Networks has developed tools that 
save you time and resources in managing 
your network. The Universal Port capability 
allows auto-configuration of VoIP phones, 
for example, providing simplicity in 
managing network changes. EPICenter

®

 

provides fault, configuration, accounting, 
performance and security functions, 
allowing effective management of  
Extreme Networks multi-layer switching 
equipment in a converged network.

With a wide range of available I/O and 
management modules, the versatile 
BlackDiamond 8800 series switches provide 
unparalleled investment protection over the 
product lifetime. For example, the 
BlackDiamond 8500-series modules can 
support wiring closet or small enterprise 
edge applications; at a later date, 
BlackDiamond 8800 c-series modules can 
be implemented to support medium-sized 
enterprise core deployment or aggregation. 
And the BlackDiamond 8900-series 
modules, with their high-performance and 
high-density, can support large enterprises 
or interconnection for data centers and 
HPCC applications. The chassis provides 
unparalleled investment protection. Past 
and current generations of modules are 
compatible with any BlackDiamond 8800 
series chassis.
