8x10GE

Hello all,

Is Foundry SX800 or SX1600 support 8x10GE etherchannel? because only
4x10GE etherchannel work.

Thank you.

I highly doubt the SX platform support 8x10GbE. So far the MLX platform
with hSFM (high-speed switch fabric module) is the only platform that
support 8x10GbE (and 100GbE !!) . The backplane capacities of SX might
not be enough to handle 8x10GbE.

While the documentation doesn't list any explicit limits, all
configuration examples conspicuously use 4 ports. Given that RX
hardware is limited to 8 ports per LAG, yeah, it's pretty likely
that 4 is the limit in SX.

Given the port density of the SuperX, more doesn't make that much
sense, really...

According to the FastIron 7.2 configuration guide, FastIron SX "IPv6" systems support up to 8 ports in a LAG. The v4 systems support up to 4 ports per LAG. This is true for 1Gbps ports or 10Gbps ports.

Re: 8x10GE [In reply to]

Thank you everybody for the answer.

Can you advise me what to install next after Foundry SX800/SX1600(I
need 8x10Ge etherchannel):
Foundry MLX or Juniper MX as a core switch ?

Thank you.
