L3 Gigabit Metro Ethernet Switch
ECS4660-28F
L3 Gigabit Metro Ethernet Switch
Product Overview
The Edgecore ECS4660-28F is a standalone L3 Gigabit Metro Ethernet routing switch with 24 1000BASE-X SFP slots, two 10G XFP
uplink slots, and two 10G module slots that can support two additional 10G uplinks. With up 107Mpps performance, the
ECS4660-28F is ideal for service provider aggregation deployment, providing wire-speed L2 switching and L3 unicast and
multicast routing. To maintain high availability, the ECS4660-28F provides redundant power, a hot swappable fan tray,
configuration rollback, and G.8032 ring protection.
Enhanced Security
The Edgecore ECS4660-28F provides enhanced security
features for connectivity and access control, including Access
Control Lists (ACLs), authentication, and port-level security with
IEEE 802.1X. ACL can be used to restrict access to sensitive
network resources by denying packets based on L2/L2/L4
headers. SSH and RADIUS authentication protects management
access to the switch, providing secure network management.
IEEE 802.1X port based access control ensures dynamic,
port-based security and user authentication for network access.
IP source guard prevents a malicious user from spoofing or
taking over another user’s IP address by creating a binding
table between client’s IP, MAC address, port and VLAN.
Simplified Management
For IP multicast traffic, the ECS4660-28F uses IGMP snooping to
provide fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams. It
prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic and limits
bandwidth-intensive video traffic to only the subscribers.
The ECS4660-28F supports IPv6 management functions for
SNMP, HTTP, Telnet, TFTP, ICMP, SSH, RASIUS/TACACS+
authentication , and IPv6 QoS remapping when connecting to
the switch. The ECS4660-28F can be managed through an
industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI) with a common
industry look and feel that reduces training and operating costs.
The switch also provides an easy-to-use web GUI interface
through a standard web browser.
With four-group RMON, the ECS4660-28F can easily backup
and restore firmware and configuration files via TFTP.
Advanced IPv4 and IPv6 Routing
The Edgecore ECS4660-28F supports hardware-based IPv4 and
IPv6 routing for maximum performance. It provides a seamless
migration path from IPv4 and IPv6 for future network upgrades
and investment protection.
Advance routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF provide
dynamic routing by routing by exchanging routing information
with other L3 switches or routes. Multicast routing is supported
under independent multicast protocols, including PIM-DM and
PIM-SM. DVMRP is also supported to interconnect two
multicast-enabled networks across non-multicast networks.
VRRP prevents your system from failing by dynamically backing
up multiple L3 switches for routing.
Key Features and Benefits
High Availability
With IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, the Edgecore
ECS4660-28F provides a loop-free network with redundant links
to the core network and rapid convergence in less than 2
seconds. IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol allows a
spanning-tree instance per VLAN and Layer 2 load sharing on
redundant links.
The ECS4660-28F 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 ECS4660-28F supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection
Switching, with the ability for the network to detected 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 Edgecore ECS4660-28F offers advance 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 across the stack. Traffic is prioritized
according to 802.1p, DSCP, IP precedence and TCP/UDP port
number to provide optimal performance to real-time applications.
Weight Round Robin (WRR) and strict priority ensure differential
prioritization of packet flows and avoid congestion of ingress and
egress queues.
With bidirectional rate-limiting, per port or per traffic class, the
ECS4660-28F preserves network bandwidth and allows full
control of network resources.
The ECS4660-28F supports Three Color Market and Policing
single rate: Committed Information Rate (CIR) Two Rate: CIR+
Peak Information Rate (PIR) Traffic Policing: Drop or remark the
priority tag of packets exceeds burst size.
Advances Synchronization
The ECS4660-28F provides synchronization options optimized
for cellular operators looking to backhaul their data and voice
traffic from base stations to their core network over Ethernet
transport. The ECS4660-28F supports bit-layer clock recovery
solutions, IUT-T G.8261 and IEEE 1588v2 synchronous Ethernet,
and provides a highly robust hop-by-hop frequency mechanism.
