Traffic control and monitoring features include: Automatic application of ingress and egress policies for bi-directional traffic control; Rule Hit
Accounting for network visibility and troubleshooting; and Flow Based Mirroring allowing for tapping individual traffic streams. Security features
include: RA Guard (IPv6 Router advertisement containment) and features similar to DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection.
Sample Deployment Scenario
From the Network Edge to the Core and Data Center
Today’s enterprise networking customers demand highly-reliable, feature-rich networking devices to fulfill their requirements across all layers of the
network, providing the scalability, return on investment (ROI), and security required of a 21st century business environment.
Enterasys S-Series switches provide industry-leading, high performance distributed switching for enterprise networks, providing customers with the
scalability, performance, and application control to meet the growing needs of today’s enterprises. S-Series solutions provide high-performance, feature-
rich, and highly scalable 10/100/1000, Gigabit, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and the scalability to support future 40/100 Gigabit technologies.
This allows them to scale from the network access/edge right to the heart of the network core where they are well positioned to meet emerging high
bandwidth requirements for core routing implementations.
High performance distributed computing increases the demand for secure campus networks, at the same time business-critical systems and services
are becoming increasingly dependent upon enterprise backbone infrastructures. Enterasys S-Series solutions have the capacity, scalability, and QoS
functionality required to deal with these new demands. Architected to ensure no single point of failure with industry-leading high-availability, S-Series
switches are the perfect solution for core routing and secure data center applications. With I/O Fabric and modules that are optimized for multi tier
network deployments there is an S-Series solution ideally suited to any enterprise or campus network.
Enterasys S-Series modular switches use common power supplies, fan trays, and I/O modules that are interchangeable between chassis. This reduces
capital investment in on-site spares.
