2.1.1

Ethernet Routing Switch 5600

The Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 (ERS 5600) is a Layer 2/3 routing switch providing direct end station
connectivity, aggregation for closet connectivity, as well as for servers, network appliances, and other
devices. The ERS 5600 provides flexibility in many network designs as it can be utilized as a closet
switch, aggregation switch, or as a small core switch.
The ERS 5600 supports Switch Clustering by using Split Multilink Trunking (SMLT) for active/active uplink
connectivity without the use of any form of spanning tree. However, the ERS 5600 also supports the IEEE
802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for those environments where spanning tree is desired.
2.1.2

Ethernet Routing Switch 5530

The Ethernet Routing Switch 5530 (ERS 5530) can be used for data center aggregation or as the core of
a small network. The ERS 5530-24TFD comes with 24 ports of 10/100/1000, including twelve in a combo
configuration with 1000BASE-X SFP ports, and two ports of 10GBASE-X XFP connectivity.
This switch is a versatile and powerful aggregation platform. As with all ERS 5500 models, the ERS 5530
features support for an external redundant power supply and full Stack-compatibility with the ERS 5600
models.
2.1.3

Ethernet Switch 470

The Ethernet Switch 470 (ES 470) is a stackable switch that provides resiliency, convergence readiness,
and security. It includes two built-in GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) uplink ports and built-in stacking
ports in a compact, 1 rack-unit high design.
The ES 470 delivers Layer 2 switching for simplified network deployments and helps drive lower Total
Cost of Ownership. The ES 470 switches are designed to provide high-density desktop connectivity for
use in the wiring closets. All models are ideal for mid to large-size businesses and large enterprise branch
offices. All models include Lifetime Warranty.
