| dc.description.abstract | The Application Switch 2000 (2208, 2216, 2424, and 2424-SSL) and 3000 (3408) series are
multi-application switching systems that perform wire-speed Layer 2/3 switching and
high-performance Layer 4-7 intelligent traffic management. In addition, the 2424-SSL has an
integrated Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Accelerator blade that off-loads multi-layer security
functions to protect networks and applications without impacting overall switch performance.
The Application Switch attaches to network backbones and interconnects servers using 10/100 and
1000BaseT Mbps (supported only on 3000 series) Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet connections. This
flexibility off-loads server-to-server traffic from the backbone, frees backbone bandwidth, and
accelerates client-server performance. | en_US |
