AT-8948

4 x 1000BASE-X SFP uplinks
48 x 10/100BASE-T copper por ts

Industry-leading Features

The AT-8948 offers performance, flexibility, and
reliability. Packaged in a compact 1RU standard
rack mount chassis, the AT-8948 is a highly
featured access solution incorporating a new
generation switching core for wire-speed layer 3
IPv4

and

IPv6 routing, exceptional Quality of

Ser vice (QoS) features, and a robust hardware
design with hot-swappable dual power supplies.

Policy-Based Quality of Service

Comprehensive, low latency QoS features
operating at wire-speed provide flow-based
traffic management with full classification,
prioritization, traffic shaping and min/max
bandwidth profiles. The AT-8948 QoS features
are ideal for ser vice providers wanting to ensure
maximum availability of premium voice, video
and data ser vices, and at the same time manage
customer ser vice level agreements (SLAs). For
enterprise customers, the AT-8948 QoS features
protect productivity by guaranteeing
performance of business-critical applications
including VoIP ser vices, and help restore and
maintain responsiveness of enterprise
applications in the networked workplace.

IPv6 Capability

The AT-8948P (IPv6 option) is one of the few
switches on the market today that can provide
high performance wire-speed IPv6 unicast and
multicast routing, and IPv6 QoS features. The
AT-8948P pushes IPv6 capability to the network
edge and allows IPv6 early-adopters to get a
head star t in the migration to next generation
IPv6 networks.
