Packet communication router SLX 9740 series

datainternetEDGE

The SLX 9740 Series platforms are next-generation fixed-form routers designed for core aggregation at service providers and large enterprise data centers. They are the industry’s most powerful compact deep buffer dual stack IPv4/IPv6 internet border router, providing a cost-efficient solution that is purpose-built for the most demanding service provider and enterprise data centers and MAN/WAN applications. They operate as demarcation between enterprise networks and service provider networks (internet) where the ISP connections terminate. Basic requirements include support for full internet routing table, mainstream routing protocols BGP, OSPF and IS-IS, EVPN VxLAN, ACLs, BGP internet peering scale, MPLS, deep buffer, device management, and entry level DDoS protection. The SLX 9740 features Integrated Application Hosting which support an open kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) environment which accommodates Extreme or third-party applications with complete isolation from the networking operating system. Options include the SLX 9740 (1U) with 40 x 100GbE ports and the SLX 9740 (2U) with 80 x 100 GbE ports to deliver cost-effective solutions to meet the business needs of enterprise and service provider customers. SLX 9740 models are able to sit as an edge router above the data center network, consolidating on multiple layers with enterprise and co-location data centers. With the use of MPLS or Layer 3 protocols, the SLX 9740 links the data center gear to either another data center or the outside world. Multi-chassis trunking (MCT) provides dynamic flow-based load balancing to multiple network nodes, enabling resilient and high-performance networks.
