C460 Converged Multi-Layer Switch - Avaya Application Solutions Deployment Manual

C460 converged multi-layer switch

For enterprises looking to deploy Avaya Communication Manager Communications
Applications, the Avaya C460 converged multi-layer switch is a highly resilient network platform
designed to provide high-availability support for mixed data and IP Telephony deployments.
The Avaya C460 features a compact modular six-slot chassis with the following main
characteristics:
Four I/O slots and two Supervisor slots
Fully redundant architecture (including switching fabric, supervisor modules and PSUs)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) support with the FE ports
High density - up to 192 FE PoE ports and 48 GE ports
Fabric switching throughput of 64Gbps at Layer 2 and 48Mpps routing at Layer 3
Policy and QoS mechanisms
Full router functionality
Wire-speed Layer 3 forwarding on all ports
Optimal use of physical chassis size (10U)
300W or 1000W (for PoE support) power supplies
The C460 full redundancy (supervisor and fabric, power supply, link and port interfaces, router
processor, and fans), high port density and powerful Layer 2 and Layer 3 wire-speed switching
engine make it suitable for robust network infrastructure. The C460 offers advanced
management and monitoring capabilities using complete GUI tools, including the SMON and
Any-layer SMON applications in the Avaya Information Management software.
The C460's available I/O modules include:
48 10/100 PoE port Inline Power module
48 10/100 PoE port Inline Power + 2 GBIC (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet port module
12 GBIC (SFP) ports Gigabit Ethernet module
48 10/100 port Ethernet module
48 10/100 port Ethernet + 2 GBIC (SFP) Gigabit Ethernet port module
The C460 extends Avaya Convergence solutions to the network edge by providing advanced
network capabilities, including Quality of Service (QoS), high performance, advanced power
management, security and manageability. Designing a converged network infrastructure using
this highly-resilient, modular, high-performance solution ensures a lifespan of the network,
which reduces the cost of ownership and improves return on investment.
With its flexible configuration options and high-capacity performance, the C460 can also be
deployed as a distribution layer switch or as the network backbone for small to medium
enterprises looking for a reliable modular solution.
