Avaya Ethernet
Routing Switch 5900 Series
Highlights of the Ethernet Routing Switch 5900
Always-on Best in class end-to-end
resiliency solution, hot-swappable unit
replacement within a Stack Chassis and
integrated power redundancy.
Convergence-ready – Support for PoE
and PoE+, optimized for high-definition
video surveillance, true plug and play
capabilities for IP Phone deployments,
advanced QoS capabilities.
Powerful – Wire-speed performance, true pay-as-you-grow Stackable
Chassis capabilities, delivering up to 400 ports, 672 Gbps of virtual
backplane throughput, and up to 40 Gbps uplink capacity.
Fabric-enabled Support for Avaya Fabric Connect that extends
virtual fabric services from the data center all the way to the wiring
closet.
Comprehensive Layer 3 Services Advanced routing features enable
traffic segregation ideal for network distribution and core applications.
Mitigates Risk Standards-based IEEE 802.1x with integration with
Avaya’s Identity Engines portfolio for centralized, policy-based
authenticated network access. Also MACSec-ready (IEEE 802.1AE) for
encryption-based protection services.

Flexible Mix-and-match best-in-class stacking capabilities with
support for PoE/PoE+ and optional 1GbE / 10GbE SFP+ uplinks.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series
provide resilient Stackable Chassis
capabilities, high-performance Layer 2
switching, Layer 3 routing, advanced
convergence features and a full suite of
security, QoS and management
capabilities.
The ERS 5900 hardware is based on next-
generation ASIC technology that
combines wire-speed performance and
non-blocking throughput with
sophisticated QoS capabilities to support
even the most demanding suite of
applications. It can be positioned for a
variety of customer scenarios, including:
High-end wiring closet – with advanced
convergence features, including PoE/
PoE+, QoS, comprehensive security risk
mitigation and up to 40 Gbps uplink
capacity, the ERS 5900 is a flexible high-
performance switching option for
converged edge deployments.
Network distribution switch for campus
its Layer 3 routing services and high-
performance make the ERS 5900 a
powerful aggregation or distribution
solution for both mid-market and large
enterprises. It can connect either to core
switches or directly to data center
servers while reducing latency and
providing high end-to-end performance.
