It's a L4 switch with fixed ports.

It should be able to do this without any upgrades at all. But I guess you'd want a service contract on it anyway... > [email protected]#sh ver > SW: Version 07.3.04T12 Copyright (c) 1996-1999 Foundry Networks, Inc. > Compiled on Mar 07 2002 at 11:46:40 labeled as SLB07304 > HW: ServerIron Switch, serial number 10ac46 > 400 MHz Power PC processor 740 (revision 8) with 32756K bytes of DRAM > 16 100BaseT interfaces with Level 1 Transceiver LXT975 > 2 GIGA Fiber uplink interfaces, SX As it says, this is a 16-port ServerIron XL with a 2-port SX gig-module.
