Foundry ServerIron 8 port Load Balancer Traffic Management Switch FBS8 FBLSB8 Layer 3-7

GIG SX Gigabit fiber uplink module is installed

This is a Foundry ServerIron traffic management switch.

The funny thing is this is model FBS8, Part # FBSLB8, which is the exact same model on a Foundry ServerIron XL. Does that mean a ServerIron and a ServerIron XL are the same? Could be. Or maybe a little different. I am no expert. This one doesn't say XL on the front, but it does have that gigabit fiber module in the front.

Information found on the internet:

The ServerIronXL family packs essential application traffic management features in fixed-configuration 10/100 Ethernet application switches with a flexible choice of copper and fiber gigabit uplink modules at the industry's best entry price.Overview

Foundry's ServerIronXL series switches are the world's most deployed application traffic management devices with tens of thousands of units in over a thousand networks. These switches pack all the essentially swiss-army-knife application traffic management features, including server load balancing, layer 7 switching, global load balancing and ISP link load balancing at the industry's best entry price. The XL series features two fixed-configuration 10/100 Ethernet switches for small server farms with optional Gigabit fiber and copper uplink ports. Redundant power supplies and DC power are offered as factory installed options on both the products.

The ServerIronXL switches are ideal for small server farms and entry level performance needs where cost of the solution is a key consideration. They deliver high availability IP and Web applications at the industry's best price. The switches are built on hardened switch architecture and feature integrated support for basic Layer 3 functions.

Features Traffic Management

• Extensive Layer 7 Features: Rich application intelligence, including URL, cookies, SSL session IDs, request type, and other IP traffic, to deliver application scalability, security and acceleration.
• Superior Connection Performance: ServerIron switches deliver unprecedented application transaction performance scalable up to 500,000 concurrent sessions.
• Advanced Load Balancing: A rich set of methods to load balance client traffic to multiple servers to increase availability and scalability of critical applications.
• Sophisticated Health Monitoring from Layer 2 through 7: Customizable server and application health monitoring permits rapid failure detection and service recovery to maintain maximum uptime
• Hardware and Software Based Hitless Failover: High availability features such as multi-switch session mirroring and synchronization with redundant AC or DC power supplies maximize uptime in the most critical environments.

Security

• DoS Protection: Denial of Service attack protection, including protection against SYN/ACK attacks with the Foundry SYN-Defense technology.
• Server Connection Rate Limiting: ServerIron switches can control amount of traffic a particular server receives, which prevents abuse and attacks while increasing the availability of applications without blocking legitimate traffic.

Global Load Balancing

• Global Server Load Balancing (Multi-Site Redundancy): The ServerIron switches can be enabled for this application to offer multi-site redundancy and scalability for IP and Web applications using standards-based DNS and IP routing.
• Total Transparency to Existing DNS Solution: Works with the existing DNS servers left in place with standards-based interoperability to protect the investment of the current infrastructure. The ServerIron offers increased and independent scaling of the global DNS performance.
• Intelligent Traffic Distribution: With advanced site load distribution features such as proximity metrics, and adaptable site specific configurations can be created to provide content localization and efficient traffic delivery.

Advanced L2 and L3

• Integrated Full-Function Layer 2 Switching: Industry's most comprehensive Layer 4-7 switching platform with advanced Layer 2 switching for cost-effective and simplified network design with device consolidation. ServerIron XL includes the ability to utilize static routes and also connect to attached servers that are not on their local subnet protecting the inside IP addresses from outside viewing.
• High Performance Stateful IP NAT: Deploying network address translation on the ServerIron protects servers and reduces load on the high cost firewalls

It works as far as I can tell, but all I know how to do is go into the console and see if it talks to me, and it does. Please read and go by the console post output above about this, and take everything I said with a grain of salt. As always you are expected to do your own research.

This is straight from corporate America. This is nice, really nice. DOS protection, wow.

This unit has single AC power supply. Sold with only a 5 day DOA warranty. But it's not DOA, I tested it. You'll love it! I can't provide any support on this, I only know about Cisco. Test this one right away please.

Warranty & Technical Support

• NO RETURNS OR REFUNDS ON "SOLD AS IS" MERCHANDISE.

• Most items are sold as-is without warranty of any kind. Most of our items are very technical and cannot be thoroughly tested by us. Buyers save a lot by buying from us at very low prices, the cost of that is that you do not receive a warranty.

• Warranty offered if any will be stated in the auction. If warranty is offered it is a return warranty, you can return the unit for refund less shipping at your expense.

• There is no warranty on items shipped outside the US. Please bid accordingly.

• We are remarketers of surplus equipment, we cannot provide technical support on this sale.

Shipping

• We welcome buyers picking up locally. Unlike some ebay sellers we do not charge for local pickups. We DO need to know you are coming. Please email to let us know when you are coming so we can have your item ready.

• If you just drop by you may not be able to pick up your item if it is not ready for pickup. We have to get items from our warehouse personnel and are not prepared for dropins.

• Stated amount is for delivery in the continental USA only. Other locations will be more.

• For items described as "shipping is buyers responsibilty" or "local pickup only" you are responsible for engaging a freight company if you want one and preparing all paperwork. We do not get involved in freight shipping.

• Tracking numbers will be provided by email in nearly all instances. If you do not receive a tracking number please check your spam folder, those are automatically generated and they are sometimes trapped as spam. 99% of the time when someone requests a tracking number they already received it. Alternately, look on the ebay page that you bid on with us, there is a tracking link there. But if you don't get a tracking number by email you may email a request, we respond to all such requests.

International Information

• Payments for all items must be received at our California facility within 7 days of the auction close, no exceptions.

• We ship internationally via UPS. There will be UPS brokerage charges, we have nothing to do with that. We do not ship internationally through any carrier that does not have end to end tracking like USPS. We have had too many items lost in the mail, so we no longer ship USPS.

• All payments must be made in U.S. dollars.

• We cannot accept payments via Paypal for international buyers.

• We accept payment by bank wire transfer. Your payment must be received within 7 days.

• We accept payment by international money order. It must be in US dollars and cashable in the USA. If paying with an international money order you are still responsible for ensuring the payment reaches us in California within 7 days. This may require you to use an express courier service like DHL or Federal Express. We prefer this method though the time constraints can be demanding.

• You must include a $25 US international export handling charge with your payment either by wire transfer or by international money order. This covers our cost to prepare your shipment and customs paperwork that will be required.

• We are not enthusiastic international shippers, if you are not willing to pay for international service please do not buy from us.

• We cannot accept personal or business checks on international purchases.

• The carrier will be collecting any duty, taxes or brokerage charges due to the carrier or to your country on delivery. Duty and taxes charged by your country are always they buyer's responsibility. Brokerage charges can be very significant.

• Any warranty offered for domestic sales is void on international sales. Please bid accordingly.

Questions?

• If you are local to us we may allow you to look at an item we have on ebay before the auction closes. You MUST email to make an appointment to do this and it may not be possible in all cases. If you just drop in without emailing for an appointment you will not be able to examine the item since we do not have a retail store and we are not set up for dropins. Extensive testing by you on ebay items at our facility is NOT available.

• We do not sell our ebay items directly at our office, if we did the price would not be the same as listed on ebay- it would be more.

• We are remarketers of computer and industrial equipment. We are not experts at any of this, in most cases all the information we have is in the ebay listing. We are not the personal, previous user of any of this stuff. We almost never know how old it is, or even whether it works perfectly.

• In almost all cases all we did was plug it in and see if it looks like it works. Some items would require an entire engineering test lab to test thoroughly. As you can imagine we don't have that nor does a few hundred dollar item warrant it.

• If an item is expected to sell for only a few hundred dollars or less we do less thorough testing. If you want us to have an item thoroughly tested that might be available but it will not be free.

• On more valuable items we try to test more thoroughly when possible, but sometimes we can't test completely due to the complex technical nature of the item.

• We have a large scrap operation here, we scrap 100,000 pounds or more of electronics every month. If it looked broken or worthless we would have scrapped it. If you see it on ebay it's because in our estimation it's not broken or worthless. We do not sell broken items unless the item is still worthwhile for parts or is still useable and valuable. In this case defects will be noted if we know about them.

• The information in the auction listing is usually all the information we have. We can look at the item and give you more information before the auction closes. Please email questions after reading the listing carefully. The vast majority of questions we receive are already answered in the ebay listing. Obvious defects will be disclosed in the auction listing if we know about it, we never conceal defects.

• Please email questions after reading the listing carefully. The vast majority of questions we receive are already answered in the ebay listing.

• We respond to all our emails, if you don't get a response within 24 hours Monday through Friday resend it.
