Abstract

NEC America, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the Layer 2 and Layer 3 interoperability of the BlueFire 730, version R2.1 ed31(264), a work group switch. The Tolly Group engineers put the BlueFire 730 through a battery of tests designed to reveal the depth of interoperability the switch provides. The BlueFire was tested for interoperability with nine other switches from six other network infrastructure vendors.
