CHAPTER 1
RackSwitch G8052
Description and Specifications
The RackSwitch G8052 is a rackable aggregation switch with unmatched line-rate Layer 2/3
performance. The G8052 uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that provides
simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
The G8052 contains 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet ports and four 10GbE SFP+ ports. The SFP+ slots
can be populated with optical or copper transceivers.
This 1U switch is rack mountable in either the horizontal or vertical direction, depending on your
application.
You can manage the switch through the console port, or through a network connection using Telnet,
a Web browser-based interface, or SNMP-based network management software.
