S7506, and S7506R.
z The S7503, S7506, and S7506R are designed to operate at the convergence layer
of IP metropolitan area networks (MANs) and at the core layer of small to
medium-sized enterprise networks and campus area networks.
z The S7502 is designed to operate at the core layer of small to medium-sized
enterprise networks and at the convergence layer and access layer of IP MANs.
The S7502 is a high-capacity, cost-effective Layer 3 Ethernet switch. It provides
high-density GE/FE ports, as well as modularized components that enable you to
configure flexibly according to your specific needs.
