1.1.2 Features

Advanced Architecture
The design for the ES4710BD core routing switch is fully distributed architecture. With a powerful
ASIC chip dedicated to high-speed route lookup and traffic forwarding through "longest-match" and
"packet-by-packet" mode, the switch ensures enhanced forwarding performance and scalability.
ES4710BD can effectively block network viruses such as "Code red", "Worm.Blaster" and
"Worm.Sasser" etc, and is a great choice for large scale networks with busy transactions and
complex traffic, therefore meeting the metro-trend for Ethernet.
Interfaces
ES4710BD provides 10 slots, and can be configured in Primary controller-Primary Backup mode
with 2 management modules and 8 network modules, or Single controller mode with 1 management
module and 8 network modules.
Carrier Class Reliability
To meet the strict requirements for device reliability of carrier class networks and to ensure 100%
uptime of network cores, the design of ES4710BD enables redundancy for all critical parts, such as
power supply, management modules and network links, all modules are also hot-swappable, and
working temperatures of all parts are monitored real-time.
Support for 10G Ethernet
10Gb Ethernet (10GbE) is a leap of Ethernet in both speed and distance, in which full-duplex
technology is employed, thus avoiding low-speed, half-duplex CSMA/CD protocol. Moreover,
10GbE maintains the essence of the original Ethernet model, therefore can integrate with the current
Ethernet environment seamlessly. ES4710BD supports both single port and multi-port 10Gb fiber
modules, providing wider bandwidth and more powerful processing capacity, therefore simplifying
network structure and lowering network infrastructure cost. It is an ideal solution for MAN/WAN
applications.
MAC Address Control
In addition to the standard MAC address dynamic learning, ES4710BD introduces several MAC
table-based management functions. MAC address binding achieves secure access through the curb
of connecting MAC address on the ports. The MAC filtering function can screen unauthorized
access devices through MAC address filtering.
VLAN Configuration
ES4710BD support standard IEEE802.1Q VLAN, port-based VLAN and GVRP VLAN.
IEEE802.1Q VLAN can divide ports into up to 4094 VLAN groups. When IEEE802.1Q VLAN
tagging is used, cross-switch VLAN grouping can be enabled to manage broadcasting traffic, offer
better security and improved network performance. GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
based VLANs can achieve dynamic VLAN registration via GARP (Generic Attribute Registration
Protocol), therefore a more flexible VLAN application results by reducing VLAN configurations
due to less VLAN configuration changes.
