Features
Scalable Edge Connectivity
The Gold DFE dramatically increases the edge density for 10/100 and 10/100/1000 connectivity
with the highest module density in the industry. This not only provides extensive scalability, but also
optimizes the cost-effectiveness of the N-Series.
Density and Performance
The N-Series provides high performance and high density:
Common Enterasys Switching,
Routing, and Management
As part of the N-Series family, Gold DFEs offer
a consistent feature set and management
functionality. This reduces the implementation
and management costs of an end-to-end
Enterasys network.
