02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XChange3031

The XChange3031 is a conduction-cooled 3U VPX Ethernet switch module.

High-Performance Switching

The XChange3031 provides one backplane 40GBASE-KR4 Ethernet port, six backplane 10GBASE-KR Ethernet ports, four backplane 10GBASE-T Ethernet ports, and up to eight backplane 1000BASE-T Ethernet ports.

Performance & Standards Compliance

The XChange3031 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.

Managed Layer 2 Switching

As a fully managed Layer 2 switch, the XChange3031 has support for 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 XChange3031 can also optionally host an XChange6300 Cisco IOS-XE® Gigabit Ethernet Embedded Services Router.
