Introduction
Network planners today have to expand and extend the range of services offered further into the edge of the network. This requires
extending the intelligence and high-touch processing capabilities to the network edge-- whether in a metro network, a campus network
or in a data center. The challenge at the edge of the network is compounded by the need to flexibly define and easily manage customer
services in an intuitive manner. Further, of many rollouts. Whether deployed from a central office or from remote huts, space is an
important constraint for such providers.
In order to meet these challenges, the ExtremeSwitching CES 2000 Series and ExtremeRouting CER 2000 Series were purpose-built
to offer flexible, secure and advanced processing capabilities in a compact form factor. The CES Series 2000 and CER 2000 Series are
compact 1 RU, multi-service edge or aggregation devices with a powerful set of capabilities chosen to combine performance with rich
functionality at the edge of the network. The CES 2000 Series and CER 2000 Series devices offer network planners a rich set of high-
performance IPv4, Classic Layer 2, Provider Bridge (PB) and Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) functionalities in the same device. With
these capabilities, a diverse set of applications ranging from metro edge networks, ISPs, data centers, large enterprises, government
networks, and education or research can be addressed with the CES 2000 Series and CER 2000 Series devices.
This guide includes procedures for installing the hardware and configuring essential, basic parameters such as permanent passwords and
IP addresses. The basic software configuration procedures show how to perform tasks using the CLI. This guide also includes
instructions for managing and maintaining the ExtremeSwitching CES 2000 Series and ExtremeRouting CER 2000 Series hardware.
