AS5812-54X-EC
AS5812-54T-EC
L3 10G Ethernet Aggregation/TOR Switch
with 6 40G Uplinks
Product Overview
The AS5812-EC series consists of two switches with 48-port 10GbE SFP+ or 10GBASE-T and 6-port 40GbE uplink, they are
designed for Carrier/Enterprise Aggregation and Data Center Top of Rack. AS5812-EC series is the ideal solution for traditional
three tier Aggregation or Core and folded CLOS architectures, serving with 2:1 oversubscription. . The AS5812-54X-EC/54T-EC
switch is packed with features that bring high availability, comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advance QoS to
network aggregation, while maintaining simple management. The switch also supports the most advance IPv6 management, IPv6
security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6 deployment. ISPs can expand their services from home
to business users by providing L2 VPNs, and advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure
service-level agreements.

Key Features and Benefits
Performance and Scalability
The Edgecore AS5812-54X-EC/54T-EC is a high-performance 10
Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 managed switch with 1.44 Tbps switching
capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching performance on
all 10 Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of aggregating the
high-performance Gigabit access switch with 10 Gigabit uplink, TOR
switch for 10G Servers rack etc, significantly improving the
responsiveness of applications, file and multimedia transfer times.
The 6 built-in 40G QSFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility, allowing the
insertion of fiber 40G transceivers, to create up to 40Gbps
high-speed uplinks to core or spine switch of service provider,
corporate, campus networks, reducing bottlenecks and increasing
the performance of the access network. With 40G to 4 10G SFP+
breakout cable, user can increase the 10G SFP+ port.
The AS5812-54X-EC/54T-EC provides dual hot swappable, load
sharing power supply to ensure the reliability of switch. The airflow is
from front to back.
The AS5812-54X-EC/54T-EC supports hot-swappable 4+1
redundant fans for reliability. There is temperature sensor for fan
speed control.
Continuous Availability
The IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a loop-free
network and redundant links to the core network with rapid
convergence, to ensure faster recovery from failed links, enhancing
overall network stability and reliability.
The IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per VLAN
base, providing Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links up to 64
instances.
The AS5812-54X-EC/54T-EC supports IEEE 802.3ad Link
Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). It increases bandwidth by
automatically aggregating several physical links together as a
logical trunk and offers load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink
connections.
The AS5812-54X-EC/54T-EC supports MLAG (Multi-chassis link
aggregation). It allows link aggregation of the links located in
different switches to a core switch, provide redundant path if one of
the switch fail and provides traffic load balancing between peer
links.
Enhanced Security
Port security limits the total number of devices from using a switch
port and protects against MAC flooding attacks.
IEEE 802.1X port-based or MAC-based access control ensures all
users are authorized before being granted access to the network.
When a user is authenticated, the VLAN, QoS and security policy are
automatically applied the port where the user is connected,
otherwise the port is grouped in a guest VLAN with limited access.
DHCP snooping allows a switch to protect a network from rogue
DHCP servers that offer invalid IP addresses.
IP Source Guard prevents users from using IP addresses that were
not assigned to them.
Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to
sensitive network resources by denying packets based on source
and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or TCP/UDP ports.
ACLs are hardware supported, so switching performance is not
compromised.
Private VLANs (traffic segmentation per port) isolate edge ports to
ensure user privacy.
DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection) is a security feature that validates
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets in a network. DAI allows
a network administrator to intercept, log, and discard ARP packets
with invalid MAC-to-IP address bindings.
Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS) encrypt
Telnet and web access to the switch, providing secure network
management.
The AS5812-54X-EC/54T-EC also supports both RADIUS and
TACACS+ authentication methods to secure your network.
