Backbone switch in Packard Lab
This is a Cisco 4506 switch that serves as one of the backbone switches for Lehigh's network. Each router on campus connects to this switch. Fiber (or copper if nearby) travels from this switch to each router on campus. This is the center star of Lehigh's network. There is an identical backbone switch located in EWFMB. You will notice that similar to all routers on campus, it has redundant power supplies, one connected to a UPS and one connected directly to commercial power.
