3. Core Technologies

The ICX 7550-24F leverages advanced technologies including:

• IEEE 802.3ae (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• IEEE 802.1Q (VLAN Tagging)
• IEEE 802.1s (Multiple Spanning Tree)
• IPv4 and IPv6 routing
• MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) for data encryption
• sFlow for network monitoring

4. Working Principle

The switch operates at both Layer 2 and Layer 3, supporting wire-speed forwarding and intelligent traffic management. It uses hardware-based routing and switching to deliver low latency and high throughput. The stacking functionality allows multiple physical switches to operate as a single logical unit, simplifying management and enhancing resiliency.

5. Applications

• Data center aggregation
• Campus network core/distribution
• High-density Wi-Fi 6/7 backhaul
• Fiber-to-the-room (FTTR) deployments
• Enterprise backbone networks
