Marvell Prestera 98DX8212
SME Aggregation, Control Plane and Interconnect Packet Processors
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Marvell® Prestera® DX family of packet processors enables secure, high-density and intelligent 10GbE/2.5GbE/1GbE switching
solutions at the access/edge and aggregation layers of Campus, Industrial, Small Medium Business (SMB) and Service Provider
networks.
The Marvell Prestera 98DX8212/08 are eighth generation packet processors of the Prestera DX family. These devices are highly
optimized solutions for 10GbE/40GbE server and appliance connectivity in the Small Medium Enterprise (SME) environment. In
addition, they provide cost effective and power efficient solutions in the low port count 10GbE enabled control plane and intercon-
nect applications.

BENEFITS
• Support for 1GbE/2.5GbE/10GbE/40GbE port speeds
• Flexible configuration for next generation server aggregation in SMB and campus
environments
• Low port interconnect/control plane applications
•• Highly flexible mechanisms for virtualization of physical resources
– ePort and eVLAN architecture for abstraction of physical interfaces
– Suitable for a standard, hybrid or software-defined networking environments
with capabilities beyond OpenFlow 1.4
• Variety of new tagging formats and tunneling mechanisms
– VxLAN, NvGRE, EVB, SPB, Geneve and NSH
• Enables coexistence in SDN and cloud-centric models
• Dual-core ARMv7 running up to 800 MHz
• Enables native host processing for standard switching and routing applications
• Additional core enables value added services (PTP servo, OAM, soft DPI etc)
