Cisco ME 3400 Series Ethernet Access Switches

®
Cisco
ME 3400 Series Ethernet Access Switches are a series of next-generation Layer 2
and Layer 3 customer-located devices for service providers. Its design is based on the
experience learned from today's most widely deployed access switches, the Cisco
®
Catalyst
2950 and 3550 Series.
Product Overview
With service provider-friendly hardware and mission-specific software, the Cisco ME 3400 Series
is the first Cisco access switch family optimized for both Ethernet-to-the-Home (ETTH) triple-play
services and Ethernet-to-the-Business (ETTB) VPN services. It provides a complete security
solution for Metro Ethernet access that includes subscriber, switch, and network protection. The
Cisco ME 3400 Series supports multiple software images to provide a "pay-as-you-grow"
deployment model. With service breadth spanning triple-play and Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN
services, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and operating expenses can be achieved from a
single ETTH and ETTB access solution.
The Cisco ME 3400 Series (Figure 1) includes the following configurations:
Cisco ME 3400G-12CS AC with 12 dual-purpose (10/100/1000 and Small Form-Factor
Pluggable [SFP]) ports, four SFP uplinks, and two fixed redundant AC power supplies (part
number ME-3400G-12CS-A)
Cisco ME 3400G-12CS DC with 12 dual-purpose (10/100/1000 and SFP) ports, four SFP
uplinks, and two fixed redundant DC power supplies (part number ME-3400G-12CS-D)
Cisco ME 3400G-2CS AC with two dual-purpose (10/100/1000 and SFP) ports, two SFP
uplinks, and an AC power supply (part number ME-3400G-2CS-A)
Cisco ME 3400-24FS AC with 24 Ethernet 100 SFP ports, two SFP uplinks, and an AC
power supply (part number ME-3400-24FS-A)
Cisco ME 3400-24TS AC with 24 Ethernet 10/100 ports, two SFP uplinks, and an AC power
supply (part number ME-3400-24TS-A)
Cisco ME 3400-24TS DC with 24 Ethernet 10/100 ports, two SFP uplinks, and a DC power
supply (part number ME-3400-24TS-D)
