Edge-Core ECS4120-28Fv2-I Ethernet Switch

The Edgecore ECS4120 switch series is a Gigabit Ethernet access switch with four 10G uplink ports. The switch is ideal for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System Operators (MSOs) to provide home users with triple-play services with up to Gigabit bandwidth. It is also an ideal Gigabit access switch for SMB, enterprise, and campus networks. The ECS4120 switch series is packed with features that bring high availability, comprehensive security, robust multicast control, and advance QoS to the network edge, while maintaining simple management. The switch also supports the most advance IPv6 management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6 deployment. ISPs can expand their services from home to business users by providing a more reliable and resilient network (ITU-T G.8032 ERPS), L2 VPNs, and advanced OAM (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) functions to ensure service-level agreements.

Key Features and Benefits | Performance and Scalability

The Edgecore ECS4120 Series is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet L2+/L3 Lite managed switch with 128Gbps/176Gbps switching capacity. The switch delivers wire-speed switching performance on all Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of existing high-performance Gigabit CPEs, PCs,11n/ac Wi-Fi APs etc, significantly improving the responsiveness of applications and file transfer times.

The four built-in 10G SFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility, allowing the insertion of fiber or copper, Gigabit or 10G transceivers, to create up to 10 Gbps high-speed uplinks to servers or service provider, corporate, or campus networks, reducing bottlenecks and increasing the performance of the access network.

The Voice VLAN function automatically detects VoIP devices by OUI or LLDP and groups the voice traffic into a separate VLAN for better performance. It can also automatically change port priorities, so a higher CoS value can be assigned for guaranteed voice quality.

Continuous Availability

The IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol provides a loop-free network and redundant links to the core network with rapid convergence, to ensure faster recovery from failed links, enhancing overall network stability and reliability.

The IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol runs STP per VLAN base, providing Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links up to 64 instances.

The ECS4120 Series supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP). LACP increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating several physical links together as a logical trunk and offers load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.

Continuous Availability-countinued

The ECS4120 Series supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching with the ability for the network to detect and recover from incidents without impacting users, meeting the most demanding quality and availability requirements. Rapid recovery time when problems do occur is as low as 50ms.

Reliability and Energy Efficiency

The fanless design of ECS4120-28T ensures noiseless operation and increases the reliability of the system.

The design of the ECS4120 Series incorporates high energy efficiency in order to reduce the impact on the environment. The Green Ethernet power-saving features and fanless design significantly reduce the power consumption.
