Extreme brings unique dierentiation to the high-end Wiring Closet role: with a
flexible, non-blocking “Stackable Chassis” architecture. The proprietary Extreme
“Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology” (FAST) protocol – implemented
over dedicated Quality-of-Service aware interfaces – enables a resilient, high-
performance solution that leverages a shortest path algorithm to minimizes
transit hops in a multi-device configuration by providing active-active bi-
directional trac flows. The Extreme Stackable Chassis technology can oer the
same performance, resiliency, and ease of serviceability attributes of a traditional
Chassis solution, but at a lower, pay-as-you-grow price point. Notable is the
ability to swap-out an individual failed unit without the requirement to pre-or
post-stage operating system software or configuration; providing equivalency to
module replacement for a modular Chassis system.
The ERS 5900 products are purpose-built to support the demands of today’s
dynamic Wiring Closet with high-density, full-featured Gigabit Ethernet. It
alleviates infrastructure complexity and reduces operational burden with a truly
scalable and strategic architecture; it is designed to deliver a high-performance
Enabled Edge solution that fully optimizes investments in next-generation
application software.
Leveraging both next-generation hardware and software technology provides
a solution that is ready to support both today’s requirements and tomorrow’s
emerging needs. The ERS 5900 products enable organizations to future-proof
with a highly software-definable network virtualization solution.
Product Overview
Broadly speaking, the Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 products provide a mix of
Gigabit Ethernet ports for edge access and multiple 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports
for network uplinks. Model variants that support Power-over-Ethernet are also
available, and all models support optional highly available AC power (up to
two field-replaceable Power Supplies, or up to four for the 59100 models) and
cooling (two field-replaceable Fan modules, or four for the 59100 models).
Three dierent port configurations are available: 28-port, 52-port, and 100-port
models, and each of the configurations is available in either a PoE or non-PoE
format. Additionally, there are 28-port versions that support the new Four-Pair
(Universal) PoE capability. The product range includes the following models:
• ERS 5928GTS – 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45, plus 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+
• ERS 5928GTS-uPWR – 24 x 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 with Universal PoE,
plus 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+
• ERS 5928MTS-uPWR 24 x 100/1000Mbps/2.5 Gbps RJ45 with Universal PoE,
plus 4 x 10 Gigabit SFP+
