Enterasys RBT-8400 RoamAbout Wireless Switch
 

Enterasys RoamAbout Wireless Switch RBT-8400

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.
