The FastIron WS Series switches deliver advanced Layer 2, Base Layer 3 and Edge Layer 3 (EdgePREM) features based on the company’s field-proven IronWare networking software. Base Layer 3 features include IPv4 static routes, RIP route advertisement, VRRP, virtual and routed interfaces, ECMP and DHCP relay. EdgePREM software includes IPv4 routing features such as OSFP and RIPv1/v2 in addition to features supported in Base Layer 3. The EdgePREM software can either be pre-installed or can be upgraded in the field via the EdgePREM upgrade kit.
