ES4710BD 10 Slots L2/L3/L4 Chassis Switch

1.1.2 Features

„Advanced Architecture

The design for the ES4710BD core routing switch is fully distributed architecture. With a powerful ASIC chip dedicated to high-speed route lookup and traffic forwarding through “longest-match” and “packet-by-packet” mode, the switch ensures enhanced forwarding performance and scalability. ES4710BD can effectively block network viruses such as "Code red”, "Worm.Blaster” and "Worm.Sasser” etc, and is a great choice for large scale networks with busy transactions and complex traffic, therefore meeting the metro-trend for Ethernet.

„Interfaces

ES4710BD provides 10 slots, and can be configured in Primary controller-Primary Backup mode with 2 management modules and 8 network modules, or Single controller mode with 1 management module and 8 network modules.

„Carrier Class Reliability

To meet the strict requirements for device reliability of carrier class networks and to ensure 100% uptime of network cores, the design of ES4710BD enables redundancy for all critical parts, such as power supply, management modules and network links, all modules are also hot-swappable, and working temperatures of all parts are monitored real-time.

„Support for 10G Ethernet

10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) is a leap of Ethernet in both speed and distance, in which full-duplex technology is employed, thus avoiding low-speed, half-duplex CSMA/CD protocol. Moreover, 10GbE maintains the essence of the original Ethernet model, therefore can integrate with the current Ethernet environment seamlessly. ES4710BD supports both single port and multi-port 10Gb fiber modules, providing wider bandwidth and more powerful processing capacity, therefore simplifying network structure and lowering network infrastructure cost. It is an ideal solution for MAN/WAN applications.

„MAC Address Control

In addition to the standard MAC address dynamic learning, ES4710BD introduces several MAC table-based management functions. MAC address binding achieves secure access through the curb of connecting MAC address on the ports. The MAC filtering function can screen unauthorized access devices through MAC address filtering.

„VLAN Configuration

ES4710BD support standard IEEE802.1Q VLAN, port-based VLAN and GVRP VLAN. IEEE802.1Q VLAN can divide ports into up to 4094 VLAN groups. When IEEE802.1Q VLAN tagging is used, cross-switch VLAN grouping can be enabled to manage broadcasting traffic, offer better security and improved network performance. GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) based VLANs can achieve dynamic VLAN registration via GARP (Generic Attribute Registration Protocol), therefore a more flexible VLAN application results by reducing VLAN configurations due to less VLAN configuration changes.
