ECS4120-28Fv2-AF
L2+/Lite L3 Gigabit Ethernet Access /
Aggregation Switch with 4 10G Uplinks
Product Overview
The Edgecore ECS4120-28Fv2-AF 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 ECS4120-28Fv2-AF 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.
Key Features and Benefits
Performance and Scalability
The Edgecore ECS4120-28Fv2-AF 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 ECS4120-28Fv2-AF 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.
The ECS4120-28Fv2-AF 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 design of the ECS4120-28Fv2-AF 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.
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 ECS4120-28Fv2-AF also supports both RADIUS and
TACACS+ authentication methods to secure your network.
