4-Slot L3 Core Routing Chassis Switch, 128MB SDRAM, 30kg
The Edge-Core ES4704BD is a high performance, 4-slot, Layer 3 chassis switch. It can work in dual or single management module mode. Slot configuration can be any combination of network interface modules and 1 or 2 management modules. Furthermore, management modules also include network interfaces so total port density and slot usage is increased.
With redundant power supply, fans, and management modules, the Edge-Core ES4704BD ensures continuous operation and is a fully redundant system. Moreover, all parts are hot swappable. They can be added or exchanged without interrupting the whole system.
The ES4704BD is ideal for the core layer of campuses, enterprise networks and the aggregation layer of IP metropolitan networks.
Performance and Scalability
The ES4704BD supports up to 13 10G ports or 188(48x3+44) Gigabit ports and 188 10/100 ports, providing flexibility and high port density.
10G modules support 1 or 2 ports for link to L3 Gigabit switches or L2 Gigabit switches, aggregating them to the core layer, and preventing bottlenecks in Gigabit switches. Furthermore, the optional 10Gigabit Ethernet XFP transceivers can be chosen for different distance fiber uplinks.
Every module is hot swappable, ensuring continued operation of the system while adding or removing a module.
Firmware & configuration are automatically upgraded from master to backup management module for management simplicity.
Continuous Availability
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a loop-free network and redundant links to the core network with rapid convergence.
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per VLAN base, providing Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links.
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating several physical links together as a logical trunk and providing load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.
IGMP snooping prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic, and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to only the subscribers.
L3 Features
The ES4704BD delivers high-performance hardware based IP routing.
RIP and OSPF provide dynamic routing by exchanging routing information with other Layer 3 switches or routers.
DVMRP, PIM-DM Multicast Routing Protocols send IP multicast traffic from one subnet to another.
VRRP prevents your system from failing by dynamically backing up multiple L3 switches for routing.
Comprehensive QoS
8 egress queues per port enable differentiated management of up to 8 traffic types.
Traffic is prioritized according to 802.1p, DSCP, IP precedence and TCP/UDP port number, giving optimal performance to real-time applications such as voice and video.
Bidirectional rate-limiting, per port or traffic class, preserves network bandwidth and allows full control of network resources.
Enhanced Security
IEEE 802.1x port-based access control ensures all users are authorized before being granted access to the network.
Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to sensitive network resources by denying packets based on L2/L3/L4 headers.
SSL, Web Management Encryption, RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication protect data communication and ensure data privacy.
Simple Management
Industry standard Command Line Interface (CLI) via console port or Telnet can be used for switch management.
Embedded user friendly web interface helps users quickly and simply configure switches.
Backup and restore firmware and configuration files via TFTP.
