Key Features and Benefits

High Availability

It's a great entry level managed with 17.6Gbps switching capacity delivers wire-speed switching performance to take full advantage of existing high-performance on PCs and laptops by significantly improving the responsiveness of applications and file transfer times .

The device also has four Gigabit Ethernet combo ports for uplink flexibility, allowing copper or fiber uplinks to servers or the network backbone.

The ECS3510-52T 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.

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.

Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is designed for applications such as Media-on-Demand is using multicast traffic across an Ethernet network.

IGMP snooping prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to only the subscribers.

The voice VLAN feature enables access ports to carry IP voice traffic from an IP phone. The IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag is purpose to expand the VLAN space by tagging the tagged packets.

Comprehensive QoS

Traffic is prioritized according to 802.1p, DSCP, IP precedence and TCP/UDP port number, 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 allowing maximum control of network resources.

Enhanced Security

Port Security ensures 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 dynamic VLAN assignment with RADIUS server by guest VLAN.

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, TCP/UDP ports. This is done by hardware, so switching performance is not compromised.

Security Shell (SSHv1.5/v2.0) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS) encrypt network management information via Telnet and web, providing secure network management.

TACACS+ Authentication for applications such as network access or IP mobility enables centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration of the switch.

Private VLAN isolates edge ports to ensure user privacy.

The ECS4100 series is ideal for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to provide home users with triple-play services and up to a Gigabit of bandwidth. The PoE function can be used to connect to WiFi APs , IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other powered devices. It is also an ideal Gigabit access switch for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks. The switch is packed with features that bring high availability, comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advanced 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. ISPs can expand their services for home to business users by providing a more reliable and resilient network (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS), L2 VPNs, and advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure service-level agreements.

Key Features and Benefits Performance and Scalability

The ECS4100 series is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2+ managed switch with 24/56/104/56 Gbps switching capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching performance on all Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of existing high-performance Gigabit CPEs, PCs,11n/ac Wi-Fi APs etc, significantly improving the responsiveness of applications and file transfer times.

The four 1G SFP ports provide uplink flexibility, allowing the insertion of fiber or copper Gigabit transceivers, to create up to 4 Gbps high-speed uplinks to 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 switch 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 switch 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 ms.
