A component of the RoamAbout Switch
System, the RoamAbout RBT-8400 is a highly
scalable wireless switch intended for
deployment in the data center of enterprise
networks with large wireless deployments.
Each RoamAbout RBT-8400 can support up to
120 access points.
The RoamAbout RBT-8400 performs Layer 2
forwarding and comes with extensive with
Layer 3-4 and identity-tracking
capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with
wired infra- structures and offers redundant
load-sharing links, 802.1Q trunking,
spanning tree and per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST+).
It also supports IGMP snooping, which is
vital to supporting IP multicast streams.
Quality of Service (QoS) is done with Layer
3-4 application information on a per-user or
p e r-group basis and can utilize IP
DiffServ code points.
The RoamAbout RBT-8400 runs the RoamAbout
Mobility System Software, which provides the
intelligence to the RoamAbout wireless
network. In addition to managing users’
identities as they roam, the switch
configures and controls all aspects of the
RoamAbout access points under its control.
