Features & Benefits
LAN SWITCHES
CORE CHASSIS
These chassis-based switches offer end-to-end connectivity and granular application
control for enterprise campus and metropolitan area networks (MAN). They are
ideal for deployment in environments where uninterrupted running of network
applications and a high level of performance, security and control are required.
Featuring a flexible modular architecture and industry standard compliance, these
switches provide scalable expansion and a high level of investment protection for
businesses and telecom carriers to deploy Gigabit and 10-Gigabit packet switching
and routing for office networking and Ethernet-based Internet services to the
homes.
These switches feature minimum or zero network downtime, robust security and
real-time running of bandwidth-intensive applications. Equipped with high-speed
switch fabrics, redundant backup/load sharing capability and advanced software
functions including complete IPv6 support, these switches provide the performance,
high availability and future-proof architecture suitable for applications of not just
today but well into the future.
These switches provide not only network access security but also protection against
virus and worm attacks. Access security is provided through comprehensive policy-
based ACL, port security, IP-MAC-Port binding features and Defeat IP Scan, while
attacks hidden behind control protocols are thwarted to prevent the switch’s CPU
from being overwhelmed with unnecessary tasks which can cause degradation to
a network’s performance. These switches extend security to network management
via such functions as SSH v2 and SNMP v3 with authentication and encryption of
management traffic.
» Core switch provides numerous high-speed
fiber backbones for a campus and central
office network.
» Aggregation switch can provide high port
density connections to workstations in an
office environment, or to subscribers’ CPE
in a densely populated Ethernet metro area
network.
» Each line card can perform L2/3/4 on-board
packet switching without relying on the control
card.
» The switch synchronizes the switching and
routing information between the control card
and the line cards to map out the fastest data
transfer path
» Each control module is equipped with its own
switch fabric hardware and management agent.
» Two modules can perform redundant backup
and sharing of network traffic load and
management tasks.
» Enables period accounting, multiple
accounting and statistics and RADIUS server
support.
» Enables carriers to implement complete
Ethernet-based Internet services to home
customers..
» Bandwidth restriction applicable to categories
of subscribers.
» Useful for carriers offering services to home
users in a metropolitan Ethernet network.
» Basic functions include: 802.1D/w/s Spanning
Tree, 802.3ad Link Aggregation/Backup
Redundancy.
» Advanced functions include Rapid Ether Ring
Protection (RERP) and VRRP support.
» Advanced L2/L3/L4 ACL.
» IP-MAC-Port Binding.
» Virus/Malicious Traffic Flooding Prevention.
» CPU Protection Policy (CPP) prevents
degradation of switch’s performance.
» Rate Limiting for end-users/subscribers’ CPE.
» Granular Bandwidth Control down to 64Kbits
for Ingress and Egress traffic.
» Enables support of advanced Multi-Protocol
Label Switching (MPLS), NAT or IPFIX
functions.
» Enables enterprises and service providers to
build next-generation intelligent networks that
deliver a wide variety of advanced, value-
added services over a single infrastructure.
» MPLS is independent of access
technologies.
» Can be integrated seamlessly over
any existing infrastructure, such as
IP, Frame Relay, ATM, or Ethernet.
Subscribers’ differing access links
can be aggregated on an MPLS
edge without changing their current
environments.
» Dynamic IP address generation for users on
a campus LAN or Internet subscribers on an
Ethernet metro area network services.
» Allows the switch to be deployed for end-
to-end services without incurring the cost of
attaching external routers to packet switching
devices.
» Supports IPv6 manageability, routing
and multicasting.
» Telnet/CLI/SNMP v1, v2c, v3 support.
» RMON monitoring.
» System/alert information, interface
management.
» 802.1v Protocol VLAN, Super VLAN,
Private VLAN, Double VLAN.
» L3 protocol-based policies.
» Port mirroring/traffic redirection.
