Vertical Horizon VH-8G

Gigabit Ethernet Standalone Workgroup Switch

This item has been discontinued. This datasheet is available for historical purposes only. Please refer to our Matrix V-Series product page or contact your authorized Enterasys reseller or Enterasys Sales Representative for further information.

The Vertical Horizon VH-8G is a high-performance standalone workgroup switch suitable for supporting network-intensive applications and high-volume file transfers. The VH-8G may be successfully deployed in wiring closet and desktop/workstation edge-switching applications where Gigabit Ethernet is the desired backbone technology.

With all the features and performance required from a desktop or workgroup switching solution, the Vertical Horizon VH-8G provides 8 SC ports of wire-speed 1000Base-SX connectivity to tie together high-performance workstations, file servers, desktop switches and shared access workgroup hubs.

Plug-and-play installation, advanced network management and standards-based switching features make the VH-8G Gigabit Ethernet Switch a leader in its class.


 

Features & Benefits

1000 Mbps wire-speed switching

  • Provides 8 ports of 1000 Mbps connectivity via fixed SC style connectors
  • Integrated ASIC design provides a total of 16 Gbps of internal switching fabric bandwidth and wire speed on all ports; throughput of over 12 Mpps
  • 8k MAC address table allows integration into large enterprise networks

Standards-based support

  • Standards-based VLANs per the IEEE 802.1Q standard for seamless integration into multivendor networks
  • Supports IEEE 802.1Q MIB for easy management and configuration by NetSight
  • Complies with IEEE 802.1d and 802.3, to ensure compatibility with other standards-based networking products
  • Supports the IEEE 802.1Q VLAN specification for tag-based VLANs
  • Supports the IEEE 802.1p priority queuing specification for two priority queues
  • Supports 802.3x Flow Control in full duplex mode

Integrated network management

  • Network management and configuration tasks are easily performed via local console port, web browser or any SNMP-based network management station
  • Supports port trunking on the 1000Base-SX ports
  • Supports 4 groups of RMON per port for network troubleshooting and monitoring
  • Port mirroring allows the connection of an RMON probe or data analyzer for advanced fault diagnosis
