Specification:

The RUCKUS ICX 7550 is one of the ICX switch families delivering the enterprise class features for flexibility, scalability and simplified management.

• RUCKUS technology delivers unmatched flexibility, scalability and simplified management for campus network deployments. RUCKUS ICX 7000 switches provide customers the benefits of a traditional chassis, with the flexibility of stackable switches at a dramatically reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
• Advanced stacking goes beyond traditional stacking with capabilities that take flexibility, ease of management and cost effectiveness to then next level, including:
  • Stacking on standard Ethernet ports
  • Long-distance stacking
  • No hardware module require for stacking
  • In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to minimize downtime
  • Superior scalability with the industry-leading number of switches per stack
  • Stacking at the access, aggregation and core layers
• Enterprise-Class Availability to improve resiliency and minimize downtime, including:
  • Hitless stack failover
  • Hot-insertion/removal of stack members
  • Redundant power supplies
  • In Service Software Upgrades for switch stacks
• On-boarding and security policies across ICX switches and wireless networks.
• OpenFlow 1.3 protocol support in hybrid mode allows user to deploy traditional Layer 2/3 forwarding with OpenFlow on the same port for Software Defined Network (SDN) enabled programmatic control of the network
• Unified wired and wireless network management: with RUCKUS SmartZone network controller or RUCKUS Cloud:
  • Centralizes management of the entire family of RUCKUS switches and wireless Access Points with a single easy to deploy management platform
  • Discovers, monitor, and deploys configurations to groups of switches and wireless APs
• Network Automation: with RUCKUS SmartZone and RUCKUS Cloud delivering capability like zero touch provisioning and automated software upgrade as well as integration with open automation platform like Ansible.
• Open Standards based management, monitoring and authentication
  • • sFlow-based network monitoring to help analyze traffic statistics and trends on every link and overcome unexpected network congestion
  • Open-standards management includes Command Line Interface (CLI), Secure Shell (SSHv2), Secure Copy (SCP), and SNMPv3
  • Support for Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS/TACACS+) and RADIUS authentication helps ensure secure operator access
  • • LLDP and LLDP-MED protocol support for configuring, discovering, and managing network infrastructure such as QoS, security policies, VLAN assignments, PoE power levels, and service priorities
