Enterprise Solution
ECS4620/ECS4510
L3 Gigabit Ethernet Stackable Switch
Product Overview
The Edgecore ECS4620/ECS4510 is a family of high-performance Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switches featuring 28 or 52 ports; with
24 /48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, 2 10G SFP+ ports, and one 10G dual port expansion slot. The switches are ideal for
high-performance server aggregations, such as enterprise data centers, where they can connect high-end or network-attached
files servers over fiber ports. They can also be deployed as a backbone upgrade, or to provide Gigabit–to-the-desktop for power
users. These switches are packed with features and are a cost-effective solution that bring continuous availability, enhanced
security, and advanced QoS to the network edge, while maintaining simplicity of management.

Key Features and Benefits
Performance and Scalability
The ECS4620/ECS4510 includes high-performance Gigabit
Ethernet Layer 3 managed switches with 128/176 Gbps
switching capacity. The switches deliver wire-speed switching
performance on all Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of
existing high-performance PCs by significantly improving the
responsiveness of applications and file transfer times.
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, ensuring a faster recovery from failed links
and 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
for up to 32 instances.
The ECS4620/ECS4510 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 ECS4620/ECS4510 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 50 msec.
Comprehensive QoS
The ECS4620/ECS4510 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.
The ECS4620/ECS4510 supports Three Color Marker and
Policing Single rate: Committed Information Rate (CIR) Two rate:
CIR + Peak Information Rate (PIR) Traffic Policing: Which drop
or remark the priority tags of packets when they exceed burst
size.
Enhanced Security
Port Security limits the total number of devices 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 to offer invalid IP address.
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.
Secure Shell and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS) encrypt
Telnet and web access to the switch, providing secure
network management.
Private VLANs (traffic segmentation per port) isolates 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.
Simple 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.
Layer 3 Features IPv4 Static Route
The ECS4620/ECS4510-28P with L3 software supports
hardware-based IPv4/IPv6 routing with wired speed
performance.
Full L3 functions are supported including unicast routing
protocol for IPv4 RIPv1/v2, OSFP and BGP, for IPv6 RIPng*
and OSFPv3; Multicast routing protocol for IPv4 PIM-DM/SM,
for IPv6 PIM-DM6/SM6.
