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 switch supports SNMPv1,2c,3 and four-group RMON. The switch
provides a complete private MIB for the configuration of most
functions via the SNMP protocol.
Administrators can backup and restore firmware and configuration
files via TFTP or FTP. The switch also provides the configuration of
auto-provision for ease of use in large deployments.
AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) via RADIUS,
TACACS+, enables centralized control of the switches. Access rights
can be authorized per user and account for all actions performed by
administrators.
Virtual Private Networks
The switch supports Layer 2 VPNs by using Q-in-Q functions, where
an 802.1Q tag from a customer VLAN (called CE-VLAN ID) is
encapsulated in a second 802.1Q tag from a service-provider network
(called an SP-VLAN ID). The switch
supports rewriting the VLAN tag of egress traffic when the ingress
traffic is tagged.
The switch also supports Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling for STP, CDP,
VTP, PVST+, with Cisco-proprietary multicast address
(01-00-0c-cd-cd-d0) replacement.
PoE Features
The ECS4100-12PH provides 60 W ultra PoE and ECS4100-28P/52P
provide 30 Watts of power to high power devices such as PTZ IP cam,
VoIP phones, wireless access points, surveillance cameras, etc, all
over existing Cat. 5 cables. The ECS4100-12PH/28P/52P switch
delivers up to 180 W/190 W/370 W PoE Power budget.
PoE eliminates the need for individual power sources for devices in
the network, saving on costs for power cables and avoiding power
outlet availability issues. If the power demand exceeds the switch’s
maximum power budget, ports can be prioritized to receive power.
Comprehensive QoS
The switch offers advanced QoS for marking, 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 and DSCP to provide optimal
performance for real-time applications. Weighted Round Robin (WRR)
and strict priority ensure differential prioritization of packet flows and
avoid congestion of ingress and egress queues. Asymmetric
bidirectional rate-limiting, per port or per traffic class, preserves
network bandwidth and allows maximum control of network resources.
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.
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications such as
Media-on-Demand that send multicast traffic across an Ethernet
network. Multicast VLANs are shared in the network, while subscribers
remain in separate VLANs. This increases network security and saves
bandwidth on core links. Multicast streams do not have to be routed in
core L3 switches, which saves CPU power.
IPv6 Support
The switch supports a number of IPv6 features, including IPv6
Management, DHCPv6 snooping with option 37, IPv6 Source Guard and
MVR6.
Service Monitoring and Management
The switch supports IEEE 802.1ag and ITU-T Y.1731, allowing service
providers to monitor end-to-end services, identify connectivity and
performance issues, and isolate problems from a remote location
without dispatching an engineer onsite.
The switch also provides the capability to monitor service availability,
delay for verifying SLA conformance (for billing purposes) and providing
advance indication of performance degradation before a service outage
occurs.
