RUCKUS ICX 7850-48F Switch
High-End Aggregation/Core 48 Ports 25G/SFP24 Chassis Replacement Switch

Overview:

New user demands and technology advances are increasingly putting pressure on campus networks requiring them to scale to support more devices and deliver more bandwidth.

The rapid growth in wireless traffic, accelerated by the adoption of 802.11ac and 802.11ax Wi-Fi, is propelling the migration from 1GbE to Multi-gigabit at the network edge and, driving the need for faster aggregation and core solutions.

The Ruckus® ICX® 7850 is designed to meet these new challenges:

• Flexible: Distributed chassis architecture for deploying ports exactly when and where they are needed with long distance stacking
• Scalable: Up to 384x 100GbE or 576x 10/25 GbE ports per 12 units stack
• Secure: Maximum security and data privacy with 128/256-bit MACsec encryption
• Resilient: Highly resilient design with hitless failover, ISSU (In Service Software Upgrade), MCT (Multi-Chassis Trunking) and redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fans.
• Future Ready: Supports next generation Ethernet speeds with 10/25 Gbps at the aggregation and 40/100 Gbps at the core. Switching capacity up to 6.4 Tbps per switch.
• Cost Effective: Pay as you grow deployment model.
• Simple to Deploy: Unified wired and wireless management with RUCKUS SmartZone. Unique features designed to simplify network deployment and management such as advanced stacking, and zero touch provisioning.

Enterprise-Class Features Across All RUCKUS ICX Switches

The RUCKUS ICX 7850 is one of the ICX switch families delivering the enterprise class features for flexibility, scalability and simplified management.

• RUCKUS Campus Fabric technology delivers unmatched flexibility, scalability and simplified management for campus network deployments. Incorporating all of the ICX 7000 switch families with up to 1800 ports in a single logical domain, Campus Fabric allows customers the benefits of a traditional chassis, with the flexibility of stackable switches at a dramatically reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
• Advanced stacking goes beyond traditional stacking with capabilities that take flexibility, ease of management and cost effectiveness to then next level, including:
  • Stacking on standard Ethernet ports
  • Long-distance stacking
  • No hardware module require for stacking
  • In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to minimize downtime
  • Superior scalability with the industry-leading number of switches per stack
  • Stacking at the access, aggregation and core layers
• Enterprise-Class Availability to improve resiliency and minimize downtime, including:
  • Hitless stack failover
  • Hot-insertion/removal of stack members
  • Redundant power supplies
  • In Service Software Upgrades for switch stacks
• On-boarding and security policies across ICX switches and wireless networks.
• OpenFlow 1.3 protocol support in hybrid mode allows user to deploy traditional Layer 2/3 forwarding with OpenFlow on the same port for Software Defined Network (SDN) enabled programmatic control of the network
• Open Standards based management, monitoring and authentication
  • sFlow-based network monitoring to help analyze traffic statistics and trends on every link and overcome unexpected network congestion
  • Open-standards management includes Command Line Interface (CLI), Secure Shell (SSHv2), Secure Copy (SCP), and SNMPv3
  • Support for Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS/TACACS+) and RADIUS authentication helps ensure secure operator access
  • LLDP and LLDP-MED protocol support for configuring, discovering, and managing network infrastructure such as QoS, security policies, VLAN assignments, PoE power levels, and service priorities
