ECS4530 Series
L2+/L3 Lite Gigabit Ethernet CSFP Switch with
4 10G and 2 20G Uplinks
Product Overview
The Edgecore ECS4530 Series switch is a high port density Gigabit Ethernet fiber switch with four 10G uplink ports. By inserting a
CSFP transceiver with two bidirectional fiber ports into a CSFP port, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System
Operators (MSOs) can support twice as many subscribers per port and reduce the space and heating or cooling costs needed for
deploying two 24 port switches and larger 48-port switches. The switch is ideal for ISPs/MSOs that want to provide home users with
FTTH triple-play services with up to a Gigabit of bandwidth. It is also ideal for ISPs/MSOs that want to aggregate FE/GE access
switches with Gigabit fiber uplinks. The ECS4530 Series switch 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 advanced IPv6 management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6
deployment.
Key Features and Benefits
Performance and Scalability
The Edgecore ECS4530 Series is a high-performance Gigabit
Ethernet Layer 2+ managed switch with 256Gbps switching
capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching
performance on all Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of
existing high-performance Gigabit fiber IAD, CPEs, and access
switches with Gigabit fiber uplinks etc, significantly improving
the responsiveness of applications and file transfer times.
There are 24 CSFP ports, and by inserting a CSFP transceiver
that supports two BIDI fiber ports, each port can connect to two
CPE/IAD devices, so the total number of physical ports is 48.
The four built-in 10G SFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility,
allowing the insertion of fiber or copper, Gigabit or 10G
transceivers, to create 10 Gbps high-speed uplinks to servers or
service provider, corporate, or campus networks, reducing
bottlenecks and increasing the performance of the access
network.
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 ECS4530 Series 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 ECS4530 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.

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 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 ECS4530 Series also supports both RADIUS and
TACACS+ authentication methods to secure your network.
