ERS 4500 Series
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 4500 Series is a Stackable system
providing high-performance, convergence-ready, secure and resilient
Ethernet switching connectivity. Available as a range of 11 model variants
supporting 10/100 and 10/100/1000 switching, Power-over-Ethernet and
10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink options, the ERS 4500 Series is ideally suited for
Enterprise wiring closet and other network edge deployments.
Target:
• Access Switch for mid-
to-large Enterprise
• Environments with FE
or GbE connectivity at
the Edge or both
• Where 10GbE Uplinks
will become important
Key Features
• Resilient stacking, distributed
trunking and power redundancy
• Reduced power consumption,
simplified converged deployments
through PoE, advanced QoS and
IP Phone port auto-configuration
• Wire-speed performance, high-
capacity stacking: 40Gbps per
switch and up to 320Gbps per
stack, up to 400 ports
• Comprehensive standards-based
802.1X, advanced filtering and
Avaya’s Identity Engines and
Secure Network Access solutions
• FE and GbE in the same stack and
1GbE and 10GbE uplinks

Plug and Play
ADAC (Auto Detection/Auto Configuration) automatically configures VLAN and QoS settings for Avaya
handsets. For IP phones to be plug and play, they need four key pieces of information: the voice VLAN ID,
the QoS settings to be used, the IP address of the file server and the IP address of the call server. The Avaya
switches fully utilises LLDP to provide all four pieces of information.
Five Nines
You wouldn’t build a castle on a foundation of sand! So why run your mission critical UC network on a
network with only Three Nines resiliency. Avaya Networks can offer market leading availability with the
support of switch clustering and other key survivable features to help you seamlessly switch in the unlikely
event of component failure.
Energy Efficient
Features such as Energy Saver from Avaya allow your PoE ports supporting your IPT deployment to be either
powered off or throttled down from 1G to 10M. This functionality can be turned-on on a per port basis
and triggered during the offices quieter hours.
Capacity
As the explosion of Video and Collaboration applications continues within the Enterprise, the network
beneath these applications needs to be able to scale up to deliver these real-time solutions without
delay. That’s why Avaya have designed a network that outperforms its competitors in both wired and
wireless deployments.
Reduced TCO
A combination of competitive pricing, lifetime warranty and energy efficiency make the Avaya Edge switch
portfolio 40% cheaper to own than the industry average. Avaya’s lifetime warranty includes next business
day replacements for the ERS 2500, 4000 and 5000 range.
Always On
Auto unit replacement allows units to be replaced while the remainder of the stack is operational. In
replacing the unit the stack automatically reconfigures and upgrades the new switch to ensure continuity
is provided. This allows your Avaya UC solution to remain operational while the engineer replaces a unit
within the stack.
