This Installation Guide provides information about the Lenovo RackSwitch Lenovo
RackSwitch G8272 (referred to as G8272 throughout this document).
The G8272 is a 1U rack-mountable aggregation switch with unmatched line-rate
Layer 2 performance.
The G8272 uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric that provides
simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.
The G8272 contains the following ethernet ports:
 Forty-eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Small Form Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports,
which also support legacy 1 GbE connections
 Six 40 GbE Quad Small Form Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) ports, each of which can
optionally be used as four 10 GbE SFP+ ports
The G8272 is 1U in height and is horizontally rack-mountable. Mounting options
are available for a variety of rack systems.
For superior reliability, the G8272 uses redundant, hot-swap power supply modules
and four hot-swap fan modules. Module options are available for either
front-to-rear airflow, or rear-to-front airflow.
You can manage the switch through the local console port, or through a remote
network connection, or SNMP-based network management software.
For ENOS, the switch can also be managed through a Web browser-based interface.
Other features supported on your switch depend on the specific firmware installed.
For more information, see the Application Guide and Command Reference for your
specific switch and its installed firmware.
