EDGECORE 16 X 10GBASET + 2 40G QSFP+ PORTS 1 AC POWER SUPPLY, 1 OPTIONAL SLOT FO

The ECS5520 series consists of two switches with sixteen 10GbE SFP+ ports or 10GBASE-T ports and two 40GbE uplink ports. The switches are designed for carrier/enterprise aggregation or small data center top-of-rack. The ECS5520 series is an ideal solution for traditional three-tier aggregation or core topologies and folded-Clos architectures, serving with a 2:1 oversubscription. The ECS5520 switches are packed with features that bring high availability, comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advance QoS to network aggregation, while maintaining simple management. The switch also supports the most advance IPv6 management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6 deployment. ISPs can expand their services from 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 Edgecore ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T is a high-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2+/Lite L3 managed switch with 480 Gbps switching capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching performance on all 10GbE ports, taking full advantage of aggregating high-performance Gigabit access switches with 10G uplinks, or TOR switches with links to 10G rack servers etc, significantly improving the responsiveness of applications as well as file and multimedia transfer times.

The two built-in 40G QSFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility, allowing the insertion of fiber 40G transceivers to create 40Gbps high-speed uplinks to service provider core or spine switches, or corporate or campus networks, reducing bottlenecks and increasing the performance of the access network. With 40G-to-10G SFP+ breakout cables, users can increase the number of 10G SFP+ ports to 24. The ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T provides dual hot swappable, load sharing power supplies to ensure the reliability of the switch. The airflow is from front to back and there is a temperature sensor for fan speed control.

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 ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T 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 ECS5520-18X/ECS5520-18T 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 to 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.
