Key Features and Benefits
Superior High Availability
Redundant, hot-swappable management and interface modules—
t
rapid fault detection and failover for increase reliability and expandibility
Redundant, hot-swappable load-sharing power supplies—increased
t
system reliability and circuit redundancy with the ability to mix AC and
DC power within the same system
Superior Layer 2 Redundancy—Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
t
based on IEEE 802.1w and link aggregation based on IEEE 802.3ad
for rapid convergence,minimal network downtime and minimal packet loss
Layer 3 Redundancy—VRRP ,VRRP-E (Enhanced),and VSRP
t
for router redundancy
Advanced Layer 2 Features
Extensive Spanning Tree Protocol Features:
t
— Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol based on IEEE 802.1w—
sub-second convergence using a pre-calculated failover link
— Fast Uplink Span—faster convergence on uplink ports on wiring
closet switches in just four seconds
— Single-instance STP—support third-party devices that run a
single STP instance in accordance with the 802.1s specification
— Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST)—multiple spanning trees
instances within a single system for VLAN load-sharing and
increased network reliability
Dynamic VLANs—simplified network address administration with
t
logical assignment of users to virtual communities based on port,protocol
or subnet,minimizes broadcast traffic and ensures network security
Link Aggregation based on IEEE 802.3ad—logical links containing
t
up to four 100 Mbps or eight Gigabit Ethernet or four 10-GbE links to
scale bandwidth and protect against link,port,or interface module failure

fault isolation
Complete Layer 3 Functionality
Integrated Switch Routing (ISR)—reduce dependencies on external
t
routers allowing network managers to configure a FastIron switch to
route Layer 3 traffic including IP ,IPX,AppleTalk,and OSPF protocols
Industry Standard Routing Protocol—dynamic IP routing using
t
RIP and OSPF
— RIP—simple solution for small to medium size network
infrastructures,allowing administrators to assign IP addresses
without defining sophisticated route propagation strategies
— OSPF—flexible route propagation for medium to large enterprise
networks,allowing administrators to pre-determine network paths
for specific traffic,define route summarization properties to minimize
route table overhead,and take advantage of Equal Cost Multi Path
(ECMP) for increased bandwidth utilization and redundancy
Policy Based Routing (PBR)—provides customized routing decisions
t
based on source address allowing Metro customers to maintain single
configurations while having access to different service offerings such as
enhanced security,increased flexibility,and access to preferred ISPs
Network Address Translation (NAT)—allows Enterprise networks to
t
translate private IP addresses into public IP addresses when traversing the
Internet,conserving IP address space and increase network security
