This beast of a layer 2/3 switch was once used for local area network connectivity when all of the Higher Intellect servers were run from a central office. It features 10 gigabit fiber ports and 20 copper 100Mbit ports. As the core servers are now located within colocation facilities, this has been entered into the museum and sits unused.

This unit is part of Altexxa Group's network research lab for studying traffic flows and experimenting with routing protocols. It is outfitted with an NPE-G1 engine, T1 line card, DS3 line card, serial line card and a few extra ethernet ports.
