Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch
3500 Series
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 3500 is a series of eight
high-performance compact Ethernet
switches specifically designed for
Mid-Market, SMEs, branches and open
environments outside the wiring closet.
A cost-effective, feature-rich solution,
the ERS 3500 Series provides both
standalone and stackable Ethernet
switching perfectly suited to the unique
requirements of Mid-Market and
SME customers, as well as enterprise
branch offices.
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500
is a reliable, low-cost solution that
provides converged services within single
or multiple sites typically of 300 users or
less.
It offers three models which can operate
in fanless mode to provide silent operation
for classrooms, hospitality suites, retail
sites or other noise sensitive environments
outside of the wiring closet.
It also supports IEEE 802.3at Power over
Ethernet Plus (PoE+) which can power IP
phones, wireless access points,
surveillance cameras and other devices.
PoE+ with its 32-watt power budget
ensures investment protection for current
as well as future high-powered end points.
For environments that need upside
capacity, all ERS 3500 24-port and
48-port models support Avaya’s
Stackable Chassis Architecture. This
allows up to eight ERS 3500 units to be
cabled together to form a single logical
chassis with up to 384 user ports and 80
Gigabits of virtual backplane capacity. The
ERS 3500 stackable chassis architecture
can also improve network availability and
resiliency through hot-swap and link
a g g r e g a t i o n c a p a b i l i t i e s a c r o s s t h e s t a c k .
Delivering high performance Layer 2
switching, Layer 3 local and static routing,
advanced convergence and a range of
security features, the ERS 3500 provides
enterprise class features at an SME price.
It also can automate many of today’s
manual processes to simplify operations
and reduce costs for the cost conscious
enterprise.
