ECIS4500 Series Product Specifications
Key Features
Performance and Scalability
The ECIS4500 series are high-performance Gigabit Ethernet
Layer 2+ managed switches with 16/20 Gbps switching capacity.
The switches deliver wire-speed switching performance on all
Gigabit ports, allowing users to take full advantage of existing
high-performance Gigabit integrated servers and PCs by
significantly improving the responsiveness of applications and file
transfer times.
The two/four SFP ports provides uplink flexibility, and allows the
insertion of fiber or copper Gigabit transceivers, creating up to 2/4
Gbps high-speed uplinks to service provider, corporate, or
campus networks, reducing bottlenecks and increasing the
performance of the access network. The switches also support
digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for SFP transceivers.
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.
The ECIS4500 series support 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 ECIS4500 series support fast failover ring protection (E-Ring)
with the ability for the network to detect and recover from
incidents without impacting users, meeting the most demanding
quality and availability requirements. Rapid recovery time when
problems do occur is as low as 20 ms.
Enhanced Security
Port security limits the total number of devices from using a switch
port and protects against MAC flooding attacks.
IEEE 802.1X IP-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.
Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS)
encrypt Telnet and web access to the switch, providing secure
network management.
Dynamic VLAN assignment for user authentication and
location-independent access to the network.
The ECIS4500 series also support local database, RADIUS and
TACACS+ authentication methods to secure your network.
Service Monitoring and Management
The ECIS4500 series support per VLAN mirroring, allowing
administrators to monitor all incoming traffic in one or more VLANs
by sending a mirror image of that traffic to a configured mirror
port.
The switches also provide the capability to manage service
availability, identify connectivity and performance issues, and
isolate problems from a remote location without dispatching an
engineer onsite.
Comprehensive QoS
The ECIS4500 series offer advanced QoS for shaping,
classification, and scheduling to deliver best-in-class
performance for data, voice, and video traffic at wire speed. Eight
egress queues per port enable differentiated management of up
to eight traffic types through the switch.
Traffic is prioritized according to 802.1p to provide optimal
performance for real-time applications. Weighted Round Robin
(WRR) and Strict Priority Queuing (SPQ) ensure differential
prioritization of packet flows and avoid congestion of ingress and
egress queues.
Robust Multicast Control
IGMP snooping prevents the flooding of multicast traffic by
dynamically configuring switch ports so that multicast traffic is
forwarded to only those ports associated with an IP multicast
receiver. IGMP increases the performance of networks by
reducing multicast traffic flooding.
IGMP groups allow you to create customer packages for IP-TV
channels, making switch configuration easy. IGMP Filtering
prevents subscribers seeing unsubscribed IP-TV channels. And,
IGMP Throttling allows you to set how many IP-TV channels a
subscriber can receive simultaneously.
Superior Management
An industry-standard command-line interface (CLI) accessed
through the console port or Telnet, provides a familiar user
interface and command set for users to manage the switch.
An embedded user-friendly web interface helps users to quickly
and simply configure switches.
The ECIS4500 series support SNMPv1, v2c and four-group
RMON. The switches provide a complete private MIB for the
configuration of most functions via the SNMP protocol.
Administrators can upgrade and restore firmware and
configuration files via TFTP.
The switches also provide the AAA (Authentication, Authorization
and Accounting) via RADIUS or TACACS+ enables centralized
control of the switches. Access rights can be authorized per user
and account for all actions performed by administrators.
