L2+/Lite L3 Gigabit Ethernet Access /
Aggregation Switch with 4 10G Uplinks
ECS4120 Series
The Edgecore ECS4120 switch series is a Gigabit Ethernet access switch with four 10G uplink ports. The switch is ideal for Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to provide home users with triple-play services with up to Gigabit bandwidth. It is
also an ideal Gigabit access switch for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks. The ECS4120 switch series is packed with features that
bring high availability, comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advance QoS to the network edge, 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 a more reliable and resilient
network (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS), L2 VPNs, and advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure
service-level agreements.

Performance and Scalability
The Edgecore ECS4120 Series is a high-performance Gigabit
Ethernet L2+/L3 Lite managed switch with 128Gbps/176Gbps
switching capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching
performance on all Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of
existing high-performance Gigabit CPEs, PCs,11n/ac Wi-Fi APs
etc, significantly improving the responsiveness of applications
and file transfer times.
The four built-in 10G SFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility,
allowing the insertion of fiber or copper, Gigabit or 10G
transceivers, to create up to 10 Gbps high-speed uplinks to
servers or service provider, corporate, or campus networks,
reducing bottlenecks and increasing the performance of the
access network.
The Voice VLAN function automatically detects VoIP devices by
OUI or LLDP and groups the voice traffic into a separate VLAN for
better performance. It can also automatically change port
priorities, so a higher CoS value can be assigned for guaranteed
voice quality.
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 ECS4120 Series supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation
Control Protocol (LACP). LACP increases bandwidth by
automatically aggregating several physical links together as a
logical trunk and offers load balancing and fault tolerance for
uplink connections.
Continuous Availability-countinued
The ECS4120 Series supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection
Switching 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 50ms.
Reliability and Energy Efficiency
The fanless design of ECS4120-28T ensures noiseless
operation and increases the reliability of the system.
The design of the ECS4120 Series incorporates high energy
efficiency in order to reduce the impact on the environment. The
Green Ethernet power-saving features and fanless design
significantly reduce the power consumption.
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 to 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 people 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.
