Description
The Extreme Networks A4 is a highly reliable fast Ethernet edge switch that provides
scalable, wire-rate performance in support of the bandwidth-intensive and delay-
sensitive requirements of today’ s demanding applications. The A4 also provides multi-
layer packet classification and priority queuing for differentiated services. Along with a
switch capacity of 17.6 Gbps, the A4 provides up to 48 10/100 Ethernet ports as well as 4
Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. Leveraging the A4′ s stacking capability, as many as 8 A4s
can be interconnected in a single stack to create a virtual switch that provides 140.8
Gbps of capacity and up to 384 10/100 Ethernet ports as well as 16 Gigabit Ethernet
uplink ports.
