Ruckus Networks WLAN RUCKUS Networks switch full managed layer3 32 port • 32x QSFP28 • 19" • icx7850-32q

Key Benefits at a Glance

• 100 GbE Density: up to 32x 100 GbE or 128x 25 GbE ports per unit
• Stack Bandwidth: up to 9600 Gb/s aggregated stack bandwidth
• Scalability: stacks of up to 12 units with up to 10 km distance between switches
• Layer 3 Routing: static routing, RIP, OSPF, BGP, VRF, and VxLAN
• High Availability: in-service software upgrades with no downtime and hitless failover
• Compact Design: 1U form factor for space-saving installation

Performance and Throughput

The switch achieves a maximum switching capacity of 6400 Gb/s per unit. In a stack of up to 12 units, this delivers a combined switching capacity of 76.8 Tbit/s. Each unit provides 32 QSFP28 ports, which can be operated as 100 GbE ports. The architecture is tailored for high-end enterprise core and aggregation scenarios with 100 GbE speeds.

Stacking Architecture

The switch supports a distributed chassis stacking architecture with up to 12 units per stack. The maximum distance between stacked switches is 10 km. Each switch features eight full-duplex stacking ports at 100 Gbit/s, resulting in an aggregated stack bandwidth of up to 9600 Gb/s. Multi-Chassis Trunking (MCT) extends stacking capabilities with additional redundancy paths.

Layer 3 Routing and Campus Fabric

The Layer 3 feature set includes static routing, RIP, OSPF, and BGP, as well as VRF for network segmentation. VxLAN and Campus Fabric Technology support flat, scalable fabric designs in campus environments. OpenFlow with Hybrid Port Mode is available for SDN integration. sFlow enables detailed traffic monitoring across all active ports.

Reliability and Redundancy

In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSU) allow software updates without downtime. Hitless failover provides instant redundancy in the event of a stack unit failure. The switch supports redundant, hot-swappable internal power supplies and fans. A reversible airflow option allows adjustment of airflow direction to match the installation environment.

Design and Power Supply

The switch is housed in a 1U form factor, reducing rack space and power consumption in wiring closets. It supports the 802.3bt2 standard with up to 90 W PoE per port. MACsec encryption with 256-bit security protects data transmission at the Layer 2 level. Regional availability includes Asia, Australia/New Zealand, EMEA, Latin America, and North America.
