The M4300 series scales from 24x1G to 48x10G and up to 384 ports per stack. Nonstop forwarding, spine and leaf, edge to core connectivity for unified wired and wireless networks. Unstoppable operation with management unit hitless failover and no service interruption for the clients connected to the other switches in the stack. PoE deployment at the edge Common for intermediate distribution frames (IDF) in K-12, horizontal or vertical ring stacking topologies greatly simplify Power over Ethernet deployments at the edge and bring network resiliency with distributed 10G uplinks in aggregation to the core. Top-of-rack and server installations For midsize server installations, two half-width M4300 10 Gigabit models can be paired in an effective single rack space for redundant top-of-rack. Non-stop switching, non-stop routing stacking technology ensures no single point of failure for servers connecting to the stack. Spine and Leaf topologies For typical collapsed core installations with a variety of 1G and 10G access ports in high performance local area networks, M4300 10G models can stack with M4300 1G models creating 'spine and leaf' topologies, reducing oversubscription, even enabling line-rate aggregation to the spine.
