M4500 Series Features
Introducing two new preconfigured M4500 100GE switches: M4500-32C and M4500-48XF8C. The trend of moving matrix switching into the Ethernet network is accelerating and a new class of switches has come to market. Combining the configurability of a matrix switch with the power and scalability of Ethernet they support hundreds of AV over IP endpoints at a price point dramatically lower than comparable matrix switches. The Layer 3 feature set includes static and dynamic routing with VRRP OSPF BGP VRF-Lite and PIM. Removing the need for PIM routing these new switches offer IGMP Plus and greatly simplify system architectures with the same well-known IGMP techniques across the entire AV over IP network while still operating at Layer 2. Installers opting to use M4500-48XF8C switch in their installation will find that it is already preconfigured out of the box. It comes with 48 10G Fiber ports with 8 100G uplink ports with true
AV and multicast Zero Touch network configuration. Connect AV over IP encoders and decoders and power on the switch. It just works! Then use the M4500-32C switch to aggregate the edge switches for a complete set up in large projects up to 320×320 SDVoE (10Gb) devices in a single architecture.
Key features
• Cost effective 100G aggregation and 10G access layer for AV deployments and redundant spine & leaf topologies
