Converged Small Site (Mixed-Vendor Environment): Reference Topology - Nortel BCM200 Overview

Converged small site (mixed-vendor
environment): reference topology 1
The converged small site (mixed-vendor environment)—reference topology
1 consists of a third-party router providing routing capabilities with one
or more Business Ethernet Switches. Each Business Ethernet Switch
(BES) provides traditional and Power over Ethernet (PoE) port-expansion
capabilities to accommodate up to 48 node devices. A maximum of four
Business Access Point (BAP120) devices can be connected to each BES to
provide wireless access capability to node devices on the subnet. A local
BCM50 supplies telephony support. See the figure
