Introduction to XChange3050
The XChange3050 is a conduction-cooled 3U VPX Ethernet switch module.
The XChange3050 provides six backplane 100GBASE-KR4 Ethernet ports, six backplane 25GBASE-KR Ethernet ports, two backplane 10GBASE-T Ethernet ports, and an optional front panel optical Ethernet port.
High-Performance Switching
The XChange3050 delivers full wire-speed across all of its ports and supports jumbo frames up to 10 kB.
It also supports IPv6 and a comprehensive set of IETF RFCs and IEEE protocols.
Multilayer Networking Support
As a fully managed Layer 2 switch, the XChange3050 supports features such as VLANs (IEEE 802.1Q), LACP, STP, RSTP, PVRST, MSTP, SNMP, flow control, port mirroring, port authentication (IEEE 802.1x), Quality of Service (QoS), ACL, IGMP, and LLDP.
Layer 3 Routing Support
The XChange3050 can also optionally host an XChange6300 Cisco IOS-XE® Gigabit Ethernet Embedded Services Router.
SOSA-Aligned Design
The XChange3050 is SOSA-aligned to AMPS profiles MODA3-16.4.16-1-F2C-(6E18/24E15)-(5E15,1E6-E6)
Contact factory for other supported AMPS profiles.
Upgrade Path & Development Support
The XChange3050 provides a pin-compatible upgrade path from the XChange3030 3U VPX Ethernet switch, simplifying system migration for existing designs.
It can also be used with the XPand1205 development platform to support rapid prototyping and evaluation.
