ECS4100 Series
L2 Gigabit Ethernet Access
and 2 10G PoE and Non-PoE Switch
Product Overview
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.
Reliability and Energy Efficiency
The design of the switch incorporates high energy efficiency in
order to reduce the impact on the environment. The Green
Ethernet power-saving design reduce the power consumption.
Enhanced Security
Port security limits the total number of devices from using
aswitch 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, 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. IP Source Guard
prevents users from using IP addresses that were not assigned
to them.
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, or
TCP/UDP ports. ACLs are hardware supported, so switching
performance is not compromised.
Traffic segmentation (Private VLAN) isolate edge ports to
ensure user privacy.
DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection) is a security feature that
validates Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets in a
network. DAI allows a network administrator to intercept, log,
and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC-to-IP address
bindings.
Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS)
encrypt Telnet and web access to the switch, providing secure
network management.
