QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D

QuantaMesh 5000 Series T5016-LB8D

A powerful Top-of-Rack Switch for Cloud Datacenters

The QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D is a high performance and low latency layer 2/3/4 Ethernet switch with 16 40GbE QSFP+ ports in a compact rack unit size. Each 40 Gigabit Ethernet port can be independently configured as 40GbE or 4 x 10GbE for total 64 ports of 10GbE.

Simplicity

The QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D can be managed through an industry standard command-line Interface (CLI) which reduces training and operating costs. A user friendly Web GUI is provided via a standard Web browser for switch management. The QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D also supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) both from standard MIB and private MIB for easy configuration, monitoring, and remote management by the network administrator. The Auto-Installation feature implemented in the QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D helps centralized management to simplify deployment of a truly plug-and-play experience. With the evolution from IPv4 to IPv6, the QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D is a IPv6 integrated management device.

The QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D is designed for high availability from both hardware and software perspective. Key features include:

• 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies
• Out-of-band management supported
• 802.1D, 802.1w, and 802.1s supported
• Up to 8 ports per link aggregation group (LACP) and up to 64 groups
• Multi-chassis LAG (MLAG) for preventing the risks of single point failure
• Up to 32 paths ECMP routing for load balancing and redundancy
• Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol supported

High-Performance L2/L3 access deployments

With 16 QSFP+ ports in the front panel and in the compact 1U form factor, front to back or back to front airflow design, the QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D is ideal for top-of-rack deployments in high-performance, highly demanding datacenters. The 1.28 terabits per second switching capacity and 960Mpps forwarding rate with low power consumption make the QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D a powerful solution to aggregate high-performance servers in the datacenter.

Advanced IPv4 and IPv6 routing

The QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D is a fully layer 2 and layer 3 routing switch that supports advanced IPv4 and IPv6 routing features such as RIP v1/v2, OSPF/ECMP, RIPng and OSPFv3. The multicast routing features for IGMP v1/v2/v3, DVMRP, PIM-DM/SM, MLD v1/v2 and PIM-DM6/SM6 are all supported in the QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D.

Datacenter application

The QuantaMesh T5016-LB8D is a special IEEE DCB-based switch delivering a high-performance solution to integrate server edge access. The key features include:

• Congestion Notification (CN, 802.1Qau)
• Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS, 802.1Qaz)
• Priority-based Flow Control (PFC, 802.1Qbb)
• Datacenter Bridging Extension (DCBX, 802.1Qaz)
• FCoE Initiation Protocol (FIP) snooping
