Gigabit Ethernet
The Ethernet Routing Switch 8324GT
24-port 10/100/1000 auto-sensing mod-
ule (Figure 4) delivers Gigabit Ethernet
to the desktop for high-performance
workstations, power users, servers and
other high bandwidth connectivity
required in the wiring closet. Future
support for a high-density 48-port
10/100/1000 module will enable the
gigabit Ethernet density to scale to 
384 ports in a single 10-slot chassis.
10 Gigabit Ethernet
A 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface will 
be delivered on the Ethernet Routing
Switch 8300 in a future release.
Table 1 shows the maximum port
densities supported in the Ethernet
Routing Switch 8306 and 8310 chassis.
MAC addresses
Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 is archi-
tected to support up to 8,000 MAC
addresses per switch, for deployment 
of large-scale enterprise networks with
large numbers of attached devices and
workgroups, allowing for scalability 
and cost effectiveness.
VLAN support
VLANs can be established for each
switch to extend the broadcast domain
and segment network traffic. These
VLANs can be spread among port-
based or protocol-based VLANs.
Protocol-based VLANs allow switch
ports assignment to a broadcast domain
based on the protocol information
within the packet. These VLANs localize
broadcast traffic and assure that the
specified protocol type packets are sent
only to the protocol-based VLAN
ports. The Ethernet Routing Switch
8300 has been architected to support
up to 2,000 VLANs scaling to 4,000
VLANs in a future release.
Enhanced security and control
IEEE 802.1x based security
Also known as Extensible Authentica-
tion Protocol over LAN (EAPoL), 
802.1x based security limits access to
the network based on user credentials.
User login requires a username and 
password that is authenticated by a user
database on an authentications server.
Users are denied access to the network 
if they are unable to be authenticated.
This functionality also supports the 
use of Guest VLANs, multiple EAP
clients and non-EAP converged devices. 
It supports client access and interoper-
ates with Microsoft Windows XP and
other 802.1x compliant clients.
Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMPv3)
The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300
supports SNMPv3, an interoperable
standards-based protocol for network
management. By providing secure
access to the switch using a combina-
tion of authenticating and encrypting
packets over the network, management
data can be collected securely from the
Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 without
fear of the data being tampered with 
or corrupted. Additionally, confidential
management information can be
encrypted to prevent its contents from
being exposed on the network.
Secure Shell (SSH)
The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 
also supports SSH which provides
authentication and encrypted communi-
cations. SSHv2 supports strong authen-
tication and encrypted communications.
It allows you to log into the switch from
an SSH client and perform a secure
Telnet session using CLI commands.
This feature is ideal for security conscious
customers such as federal governments.
