Force10 E-Series TeraScale Switches/Routers
The Force10 E-Series switch/routers provide
best-in-class resiliency, unmatched scalability, line-rate
performance and full L2 switching and IPv4/IPv6 routing. Based
on revolutionary system architecture that combines fully
distributed hardware and modular software, the E-Series
switch/routers ensure predictable application performance,
increase network availability and reduce operating costs. These
switches are suitable for data center carrier Ethernet core
and/or aggregation.
The Force10 E-Series sets a new standard for
high performance switch/routers with unmatched scalability to
1,260 Gigabit Ethernet or 224 Ten Gigabit Ethernet ports per
chassis, consistent performance with ACLs on all ports, and full
L2 switching and L3 routing. These groundbreaking products
simplify network applications from server/cluster consolidation,
grid computing, campus backbones, and next-generation data
centers.
The Force10 E-Series E1200/E600 provides 56.25
Gigabits per second per slot and the E300 delivers 25 Gigabits
per second per slot. All deliver predictable line-rate
performance with any combination of features enabled,
deterministic low latency and jitter, robust L2/L3
functionality, and the resiliency to thwart denial of service (DoS)
attacks. Built upon the powerful and cost-effective Force10
architecture, the E-Series sets the industry standard both for
resiliency and performance.
The Force10 E-Series Architecture
The Force10 E-Series Architecture delivers
line-rate performance, cost-effective scalability, and robust L2
switching and L3 routing:
- Three CPU Route Processor
delivers best-in-class resiliency and security
- Scalable, non-blocking switch
fabric enables the low latency and jitter critical for streaming
media applications
- High performance Force10 ASICs
distribute packet forwarding, ACL processing, QoS, and buffering
to every line card
- Robust L2/L3 multiprocessor
control plane with innovative control traffic filtering and rate
limiting capabilities
- Cost-effective, reliable passive
copper backplane technology maximizes system reliability and
minimizes cost
- High availability features
include hot-swap of all key components and system-wide
environmental monitoring, maximizing system uptime and
serviceability

The
Force10 E-Series delivers unparalleled Gigabit Ethernet
and 10 Gigabit Ethernet port densities. The E1200/E600
support 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 16 10 GbE ports per
line card slot and up to 14 and 7 line card slots per
chassis respectively. The E300 supports 48 GbE ports or
eight 10 GbE port per line card slot and up to six line
card slots per chassis.

With
six custom Force10 ASICs and advanced Ternary Content
Addressable Memories (TCAM) on every line card, the
Force10 E-Series provides line-rate, non-blocking
forwarding performance across all ports, even with all
features enabled simultaneously.

Force10
ASICs, E-Series architecture and FTOS software work in
unison to give robust L2 switching and L3 routing
functionality to the E-Series with the scalability and
security required for applications spanning the LAN,
MAN, and Internet-connected WAN.
