XChange3050 3U VPX Ethernet Switch

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.

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.

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.

The XChange3050 can also optionally host an XChange6300 Cisco IOS-XE® Gigabit Ethernet Embedded Services Router. The XChange3050 is SOSA-aligned to AMPS profiles MODA3-16.4.16-1-F2C-(6E18/24E15)-(5E15,1E6-E6)<N-E17/E11-N-N> and MODA3-16.4.16-1-F2C-(6E18/24E15)-(6E15,1E6-E6)<N-N-N-N>. Contact factory for details and other supported AMPS profiles.
