Product Overview
The Extreme Networks A4 is a highly reliable fast Ethernet edge switch that
provides scalable, wire-rate performance in support of the bandwidth-intensive
and delay-sensitive requirements of today’s demanding applications. The A4 also
provides multi-layer packet classification and priority queuing for dierentiated
services. Along with a switch capacity of 17.6 Gbps, the A4 provides up to 48
10/100 Ethernet ports as well as 4 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. Leveraging the
A4’s stacking capability, as many as 8 A4s can be interconnected in a single stack
to create a virtual switch that provides 140.8 Gbps of capacity and up to 384
10/100 Ethernet ports as well as 16 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports.
The A4 includes enterprise-class features in a 10/100 stackable switch that ensure
seamless connectivity and application performance. With support for 16,000
MAC addresses, the A4 is an excellent choice for medium to large enterprises that
need to support thousands of endpoints. Support for Extreme Networks policy
enables strong support for integrated multimedia networks, including Voice over
IP (VoIP) and IP video, as well as all types of data-intensive applications. With the
6.61 firmware release, all A4s can now deploy separate policies for both a personal
computer and a VoIP phone on a single switch port. In conjunction with its non-
blocking L2 switching architecture, the A4’s intelligent queuing mechanisms ensure
that mission-critical applications receive prioritized access to network resources.
