Product Data Sheet: AR9658SPB2 Series
Document Reference: DS-AR9658-PK-01
The AR9658SPB2 series represents the pinnacle of enterprise-grade, high-performance networking and routing solutions, tailored specifically for the demanding telecommunications and enterprise landscapes in Pakistan. Distributed, deployed, and supported exclusively by SKYRS, this series offers unparalleled throughput, robust security matrices, and seamless integration into existing next-generation networks (NGNs).
SKYRS is the sole provider of all regional variants of the AR9658SPB2, each optimized for specific network scales and deployment architecture.
| Variant Model | Target Deployment | Core Interfaces | Max Throughput | Power Redundancy |
| AR9658SPB2-S | Standard Enterprise / Regional Nodes | 8x 10GbE SFP+, 2x 40GbE QSFP+ | Up to 240 Gbps | Single AC (Optional Dual) |
| AR9658SPB2-X | Core Network / Data Centers | 12x 10GbE SFP+, 4x 100GbE QSFP28 | Up to 680 Gbps | Dual Hot-Swappable AC/DC |
| AR9658SPB2-M | Managed Service Providers / Edge | 24x 1GbE/10GbE Combo Ports, 2x 40GbE | Up to 320 Gbps | Dual DC Power Input |
Processor Architecture: Multi-core Network Processor (NP) + Hardware Acceleration Engine.
Operating Temperature: 0°C to 50°C (Optimized for local climate control environments).
Security Protocol Support: Hardware-accelerated IPsec, MACsec, ACL Filtering, and Statefully Integrated Firewall.
SKYRS certified engineers manage the full deployment lifecycle to guarantee optimal performance under local environmental conditions.
Rack Mounting: Standard 19-inch rack-mountable chassis (1U/2U form factors depending on variant). Ensure 1U of clearance above and below the unit for proper airflow.
Thermal Management: Front-to-back cooling airflow. The deployment site must maintain an ambient temperature below 35°C for long-term component health.
Power Conditioning: Due to local grid fluctuations in Pakistan, deployment requires connection to a dedicated Online UPS with surge protection (minimum 1KVA rating per unit recommended).
Important Note: Installation must be performed by SKYRS authorized technical personnel to preserve hardware warranty integrity.
Phase 1: Physical Inspection & Unboxing
Verify the chassis integrity and check that all module seals are intact. Ensure proper grounding by connecting the chassis ground terminal to the rack’s earth ground bar.
Phase 2: Hardware Slotting
Insert the required SFP+/QSFP28 transceivers. Connect the primary and redundant power feeds to separate electrical phases.
Phase 3: Initialization Verification
Power on the unit and observe the LED diagnostic matrix. The SYS LED must transition from amber to solid green, indicating a successful POST (Power-On Self-Test).
Initial configuration is established via the dedicated RJ45 or Type-C Console port using the SKYRS localized baseline template.
Establish Console Connection:
Baud rate: 115200 | Data bits: 8 | Parity: None | Stop bits: 1 | Flow control: None.
Network Management Configuration:
Assign local management IPs, subnet masks, and default gateways tailored to the corporate infrastructure.
Routing and Security Policies:
Enable MP-BGP / OSPF protocols as required by the network topology. Apply local compliance ACLs to secure the control plane.
Commit and Backup:
Save the running configuration to the non-volatile flash memory and export a backup copy to the secure SKYRS cloud repository.
The AR9658SPB2 series—including all variants, official spare parts, firmware updates, and SLA-backed support—is exclusively available through SKYRS in Pakistan. No other vendor or distributor is authorized to supply or service this equipment within the region.
