Fast Ethernet Standlond Switch
ES3528MV2/ES3528MV2-DC
L2 Fast Ethernet Standalone Switches
Product Overview
The Edgecore ES3528MV2 and ES3528MV2-DC are Fast Ethernet Layer 2/4 switches featuring 28 ports; 24 100BASE-TX ports and
4 combination Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45/SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) ports. The switches are ideal for desktop Fast Ethernet
connectivity and wiring closet installations with their fanless design for silent operation. Using IP Clustering for a virtual stack of up
to 36 switches, the whole stack can be managed as a single entity with a single IP address. These switches are packed with
features and are a cost-effective solution that brings continuous availability, enhanced security and advanced QoS to the network
edge, while maintaining simplicity of management with optional DC power capability.

Key Features and Benefits
Performance and Scalability
With 12.8 Gbps switching capacity, the ES3528MV2 and
ES3528MV2-DC deliver wire-speed switching performance on
all Fast and Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing users to take full
advantage of existing high-performance PCs by significantly
improving the responsiveness of applications and file transfer
times.
There are four Gigabit Ethernet combination ports for uplink
flexibility, allowing copper or fiber uplinks. The switch also
supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for SFP
transceivers.
Continuous Availability
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.
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per VLAN
base, providing Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links.
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating several
physical links together as a logical trunk and providing load
balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.
The ES3528MV2 and ES3528MV2-DC support 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 ms.
Comprehensive QoS
Eight egress queues per port enable differentiated management
of up to eight traffic types. Traffic is prioritized according to
802.1p and DSCP, giving optimal performance to real-time
applications such as voice and video.
Asymmetric bidirectional rate-limiting, per port or per traffic
class, preserves network bandwidth and allows maximum
control of network resources.
Enhanced Security
Port security allows access to switch ports based on MAC
address, 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. User authentication is carried out using any
standard-based RADIUS server.
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 (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS)
encrypts Telnet and web access to the switch, providing
secure network management.
TACACS+/RADIUS authentication enables centralized control
of the switch and prevents unauthorized users from altering the
configuration of the switch.
Private VLANs isolate edge ports to ensure user privacy.
IGMP snooping prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic and
limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to only the subscribers.
Service Monitoring and Management
The ES3528MV2 and ES3528MV2-DC support IEEE 802.1ag
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) and ITU-T Y.1731,
allowing service providers to monitor end-to-end services,
identify connectivity/performance issues, and isolate problems
from a remote location without dispatching onsite service
personnel.
Additionally, this provides the capability to monitor service
availability, delay, jitter, and dropped packets, used to verify
SLA conformance for billing purposes while providing advance
indication of performance degradation before a service outage
occurs.
Simple Management
An industry-standard command-line-interface (CLI), accessed
through the console port or Telnet, provides a convenient way
to configure and troubleshoot the switch. An embedded
user-friendly web interface helps users quickly and simply
configure the switch. Four-group RMON is supported to collect
traffic statistics and run network diagnostics. The switch can
also backup and restore firmware and configuration files via
TFTP.
