Product Review
The Brocade FWS648-POE offers a solid switching performance of 16.8 Gbps and a forwarding performance of 12.6 Mpps, suitable for medium-sized networks requiring power over Ethernet capabilities. However, its 10/100 Mbps PoE ports might not meet the needs of environments demanding higher throughput, despite the inclusion of 4 combo Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports for uplinking. With support for up to 16,000 MAC addresses and 4096 VLANs, it demonstrates versatility in network segmentation, but the limitation of 1000 hardware routes could be a bottleneck for larger, more complex routing requirements.
