Asterfusion CX-M Series SONiC based L2 L3 PoE+,POE++ Open Network Switch Overview

Introducing the next-generation, strong-security, high-performance, and energy-efficient Gigabit Ethernet switches — the Asterfusion CX-M series L2+Layer3 fully managed PoE+ switches! In this article, we will explore the specifications, benefits, and applications of the 5 unique models available: the CX204Y-24GT-M-SWP2, CX204Y-24GT-M-SWP4, CX204Y-48GT-M-SWP4, CX206Y-48GT-M-HWP4, and CX206Y-48GT-M-HWP8. Each model provides reliable hardware and rich PoE+ power options, with 370W, 740W, and 1440W to power more devices.



These switches boast Marvell Prestera switch ASIC chips, which provide faster data processing and stable performance. The CX-M series switches offer large table entry size, wire-speed forwarding, and low power consumption, as well as support comprehensive L2 and L3 functions, along with rich security features.

Not Just Layer 2, But Full Layer 3 POE++Open Network Switch

Asterfusion is proud to be the pioneering manufacturer to install commercial SONiC NOS–AsterNOS into access layer switches. At Asterfusion, we’re committed to creating a more open and adaptable campus network, including our POE model.

Our system architecture is advanced, functional, containerized, and event-driven, allowing for the swift development and customization of network services. Additionally, we provide a REST API interface that can be centrally managed and invoked by third-party applications, such as cloud management platforms. We understand the importance of traditional network engineers, which is why we offer a KLISH command line that allows them to seamlessly adapt to open networks.

SONiC Based Layer3 POE++Switch Support MC- LAG,VXLAN, BGP EVPN

Thanks to the advanced features of AsterNOS, our self-developed POE switches are full layer 3 switches with rich functionalities, which set the standard in the market for Layer 2 POE switches. such as, MC-LAG and virtualization features like VXLAN, BGP EVPN are also migrated from data center to our cloud campus network , which can meet the growing requirements of campus network.

Cloud-Based Campus Network Architecture Simplifies Management &Configuration

Asterfusion CX-M POE+ switches support ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning).

For Leaf switches have the same configuration, so one profile can be used to configure all the leaf switches with ZTP.

(About Asterfusion cloud-based campus network architecture, please check the article: Asterfusion Next-Generation Campus Networks: Bye, Stacking! )

In addition,we are excited to soon release our cluster controller, which can configure management devices in batches or a single device.

The CX-M series switches are designed with high energy efficiency, minimizing the impact on the environment while providing top performance. Equipped with ARM multi-core processors as the main control chip, an advanced energy-saving circuit design, and carefully selected components, our switches boast a 30%+ reduction in overall energy consumption. Additionally, Asterfusion has improved the switches' performance by optimizing noise and energy consumption. Our intelligent fan allows for precise temperature control, and features like Green Ethernet power-saving and low noise design are incorporated for significant energy reduction.

Asterfusion Ultra -low latency switch- Ceph cluster deployment and OpenStack integration

图片
  Ceph is a very popular and widely used SDS ( Software Defined Storage ) solution, which can provide object, block and file-level storage at the same time. This article will show you how to use Asterfusion CX-N series ultra-low-latency switches to form a network to carry Ceph storage clusters and use Ceph as the storage backend to integrate with Openstack. Before the popularization of cloud technology, common storage solutions in the IT industry were DAS, SAN, and NAS.  Currently, the three traditional storage solutions have some problems in terms of price, performance, scalability, deployment, operation and maintenance in their respective application scenarios.  So, there is no one-size-fits-all solution on storage. In actual production environments, we often need to make trade-offs based on data size, performance requirements, budget, and application scenarios. The emergence of Ceph is a compromise solution to the above problems. What is Ceph ? Ceph is a very popular o...
