FAQs
Q1: What is the ER‑8‑XG used for?
A: The ER‑8‑XG is a high‑performance rack‑mount router designed for enterprise, ISP or data‑centre networks — ideal when you need multiple 10 Gbps fibre links, high routing throughput, and robust, scalable performance.
Q2: What ports and connectivity interfaces does ER‑8‑XG provide?
A: It provides 8 × 10 Gbps SFP+ fibre‑capable ports, 1 × Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet port for copper connection, and a serial console RJ45 port for management.
Q3: What performance and routing capacity does ER‑8‑XG deliver?
A: The router delivers up to 80 Gbps non‑blocking throughput and can forward up to 18 million packets per second (pps). It’s powered by a 16‑core 1.8 GHz CPU and 16 GB DDR4 RAM, with hardware acceleration for packet processing.
Q4: What are the power, chassis, and build specifications?
A: The ER‑8‑XG is built in a 1U rack‑mountable SGCC‑steel chassis, measures 442.4 × 285.6 × 43.7 mm, and weighs approx. 5.0 kg. It uses dual hot‑swappable AC/DC power supplies (100–240 V AC) with a max power draw of about 100 W — providing redundancy for reliability.
Q5: What routing features and protocols does ER‑8‑XG support?
A: The router supports standard routing, VLANs, static/dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP, RIP, etc.), IPv4/IPv6, firewall/NAT, QoS, VPNs, and advanced network services — making it suitable for complex network architecture, multi‑site routing, and high‑traffic backbone links.
