The Backbone of the High-

Performance Enterprise

The X-Pedition 8600 offers the

wire-speed throughput and fea-

ture-rich functionality to be a

mainstay in today’s growing

e-business infrastructures.

Industry-Leading Performance and Control at the Network Core

Enterasys Networks’ award-winning X-Pedition family represents a new generation of switch routing

solutions engineered to support today’s rapidly expanding enterprises. Built particularly for the backbone, the

16-slot X-Pedition 8600 switch router combines wire-speed performance at gigabit rates, pinpoint control of

application flows, and superior routing capacity to ensure high availability of internal and external networks

including business-critical web content, ERP applications, voice/video/data, e-commerce and more.

The high-capacity X-Pedition 8600 delivers full-function, wire-speed IP/IPX routing—both unicast (IP:RIP,

OSPF, BGP, IPX:RIP) and multicast (IGMP, DVMRP, PIM-DM, PIM-SM). Powered by a non-blocking 32 Gigabit

per second switching fabric, the X-Pedition 8600’s throughput exceeds 30 million packets per second and can

be configured with up to 240 10/100 ports or 60 Gigabit Ethernet ports.

Enterprise backbone requirements are met through massive table capacity and redundancy. The X-Pedition

is also the industry’s first Gigabit switching router with WAN capabilities. The WAN interfaces extend the

benefits of the X-Pedition to remote locations, providing network administrators application-level control

from the desktop to the WAN edge, all at wire speed.

Along with several industry

awards to its credit, the

X-Pedition has been the #1

selling* modular Layer 3 switch

for nearly three years.

The unique X-Pedition architecture enables you to route or switch packets based on the information in Layer

4 or on the traditional source-destination information in Layer 3. This application-level control allows the

X-Pedition to guarantee security and end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) while maintaining wire-speed

throughput. QoS policies may encompass all the applications in the network, groups of users, or relate specifically

to a single host-to-host application flow.

How the X-Pedition

Supports QoS

•Wire-Speed Routing on

Every Port—Removes

routing as the bottleneck and

avoids “switch when you

can, route when you must”

schemes which are often

complicated and proprietary

•Massive Non-Blocking

Backplane—Prevents

overloaded output wires

from clogging the switching

hardware and isolates points

of network congestion so

that other traffic flows are

unaffected

•Large Buffering Capacity—

Avoids packet loss during

transient bursts that exceed

output wire capacity

•Traffic Classification and

Prioritization—Enables

policy-based QoS which

guarantees throughput and

minimizes latency for

important traffic during times

of congestion

•Layer 4 Flow Switching—

Provides application-level

manageability, enabling the

implementation of true

end-to-end QoS (e.g., RSVP)

•Intuitive QoS Management

Interface—Allows powerful

QoS policies to be

implemented and maintained

quickly and easily

•Detailed Network

Instrumentation—Facilitates

network baselining and

troubleshooting, delivering

insight into the behavior of

network traffic

The X-Pedition 8600 is easily configured and managed through NetSight Atlas network management software,

which includes plug-in applications for ACL, inventory and policy management. The X-Pedition Switch Router

is fully standards-based and completely interoperable with existing networking equipment.

Guaranteeing Quality of Service

With global enterprise more dependent than ever on the applications that support their business—from

e-commerce and SAP to emerging multicast video applications—quality of service (QoS) becomes a top priority.

QoS refers to a set of mechanisms for guaranteeing levels of bandwidth, maximum latency limits, and controlled

interpacket timing. Enterasys’ X-Pedition 8600 delivers true standards-based QoS by integrating wire-speed

Layer 4 switching with policy-based traffic classification and prioritization. Because Enterasys’ custom ASICs can

read deeper into the packet, all the way to Layer 4, traffic can be identified, classified, and prioritized at the

application level.

Unmatched Performance with Wire-Speed Routing and Switching

The X-Pedition 8600 minimizes network congestion by routing more than 30 million packets per second

(pps). The 32 Gbps switching fabric in the X-Pedition delivers full-function unicast and multicast wire-speed

IP/IPX routing at gigabit speeds on all ports.

The X-Pedition 8600’s custom ASICs switch or route traffic at wire speed based on Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer

4 information. These ASICs also store QoS policies and security filters, providing wire-speed performance

even when QoS and security filters are enabled. As a result, network managers no longer need to make

compromises when it comes to performance and functionality; the X-Pedition delivers both.

Application-Level QoS and Access Control—at Wire Speed

Based on Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 information, the X-Pedition allows network managers to identify traffic

and set QoS policies, without compromising wire-speed performance.

The X-Pedition can guarantee bandwidth on an application-by-application basis, thereby accommodating

high-priority traffic even during peak periods of usage. QoS policies can be broad enough to encompass all

the applications in the network, or relate specifically to a single host-to-host application flow.

Unlike conventional routers, the X-Pedition’s performance does not degrade when security filters are imple-

mented. Wire-speed security, obtained through 20,000 filters, enables network managers to benefit from

both performance and security. Filters can be set based on Layer 2, Layer 3 or Layer 4 information, enabling

network managers to control access based not only on IP addresses, but also on host-to-host application

flows.

Wire-Speed Multicast to Support Convergence Applications

The X-Pedition’s switching fabric is capable of replicating packets in hardware, eliminating performance

bottlenecks caused by conventional software-based routers. By providing the necessary infrastructure, the

X-Pedition turns the network into an efficient multicast medium, supporting Protocol Independent

Multicasting-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), DVMRP and per-port IGMP.

Industry-Leading Capacity

Large networks require large table capacities for storing routes, application flows, QoS rules, VLAN information

and security filters. The X-Pedition 8600 provides table capacities that are an order of magnitude greater than

most other solutions available today, supporting up to 250,000 routes, 4,000,000 application flows and

800,000 Layer 2 MAC addresses.

Full-function wire-speed IP/IPX routing enables the X-Pedition to scale seamlessly as the network evolves.

The chassis-based X-Pedition can be configured with up to 240 10/100 ports or up to 60 Gigabit Ethernet

ports. More than 4,000 VLANs, 20,000 security filters and large per-port buffers provide the capacity to handle

peak traffic across even the largest enterprise backbones.

Comprehensive Management for Easy Deployment, Changes and Troubleshooting

VLAN Management—The X-Pedition can be configured to support VLANs based on ports and protocols.

Network managers can use Layer 2 VLANs with 802.1p prioritization and 802.1Q tagging, and can configure

VLANs guided wizards within NetSight Atlas management software.

Extensive Performance Monitoring—The X-Pedition paves the way for proactive planning of bandwidth

growth and efficient network troubleshooting by providing RMON and RMON2 capabilities per port.

Easy-to-Use, Java-Based Management—The X-Pedition’s rich functionality is made easy to use through

NetSight Atlas, a command console that provides extensive configuration and monitoring of the X-Pedition as

well as your entire Enterasys network. NetSight Atlas allows network managers to use any Java-enabled client

station across the enterprise to remotely manage the X-Pedition 8600. NetSight Atlas can run on Solaris and

Windows NT/2000/XP environments.
