Ethernet Routing Switch 3600

ERS 3626GTS and ERS 3626GTS-PWR+ feature 24 access ports of 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet with RJ45 interfaces; these ports also support 10/100Mbps connectivity. Two of these ports are configured in combination with SFP sockets for flexible use as Gigabit uplinks. Two SFP+ interfaces provide 10 Gigabit network uplink connectivity. There are also two additional interfaces that can be used for either Stackable Chassis virtual backplane links or additional network uplinks.

ERS 3650GTS and ERS 3650GTS-PWR+ feature 48 access ports of 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet with RJ45 interfaces; these ports also support 10/100Mbps connectivity. Again, two SFP+ interfaces provide 10 Gigabit network uplink connectivity. There are also two additional interfaces that can be used for either Stackable Chassis virtual backplane links or additional network uplinks.

The ERS 3600 models use of 10 Gigabit ports for Stackable Chassis connectivity delivers QoS-aware, high-speed connections that enable a resilient, high-performance hardware virtualization solution. This leverages a shortest path algorithm to minimize transit hops in a multi-device configuration and supporting active-active bi-directional traffic flows.

The ERS 3600 products add significant flexibility to an Enterprise’s networking capability. Deployed with other Extreme Networks or third party Ethernet Switch devices, the ERS 3600 products provide high-capacity, high-performance connectivity solution for Branch Office and small-to-medium Wiring Closet applications.

The ERS 3600 products deliver key Enterprise-class benefits, including:

Always-On– Stackable Chassis delivers a best-in-class high-availability solution, featuring hot-swappable unit replacement.

Convergence-Ready– support for PoE/PoE+, optimized for high-definition video surveillance, true plug-and-play capabilities for communications, collaboration, and engagement deployments, and advanced QoS capabilities.

Powerful– wire-speed performance, truly scalable virtual backplane capabilities, delivering up to 192Gbps of throughput to support large-scale deployments.

Highly Secure –Standards-based 802.1X Network Access Control can also be integrated with Extreme Networks’ award-winning Identity Engines technology for centralized, policy-based authenticated network access.

Flexibility and Agility– best-in-class pay-as-you-grow scalability, versatile PoE/PoE+ support, and 1/10 Gigabit network uplinks.

Fabric-Enabled–supporting Extreme Networks’ Fabric Attach technology to empower a seamless transition to an agile, software-defined virtualized networking solution.

Energy-Efficient – focusing on end-to-end energy efficiency, dynamic Energy Saver further reduces power consumption for both the Ethernet Switch (ranging 8-17%) and IP Phones without impacting service availability.

• Non-blocking, wire-speed switching architecture.
• Integrated design that is optimized for low latency and high Quality-of-Service (including QoS-aware Stackable Chassis interfaces).
• Feature-rich support for conventional VLAN, Multi-Link Trunking, Spanning Tree technologies.
• Extreme Networks Stackable Chassis technology supporting scalability up to 8 units/400 ports, and Auto-Unit Replacement for Software Image and Configuration.
• Extreme Networks Fabric Connect technology support for Fabric Attach.
• Static, Non-Local IP Routing, and RIP Dynamic IP Routing.

ERS 3626GTS-PWR+ and ERS 3650GTS-PWR+ – support full Standards-compliant IEEE 802.3af/802.3at PoE/PoE+ delivering up to 30W per port to power IP Phones, Wireless Access Points, networked IP CCTV Cameras, and other converged devices. A PoE power budget of 720W is available for the PWR+ models, delivering the following:

ERS 3626GTS-PWR+ – supporting all 24 access ports at up to 30W

ERS 3650GTS-PWR+ – supporting 24 access ports at up to 30W, or 48 ports at up to 15W, or a variable mix of the two

Broadly speaking, the Ethernet Routing Switch 3600 products provide a mix of Gigabit Ethernet ports for edge access and 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports for network uplinks. Model variants that support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE/PoE+) are also available, and all models feature a fixed, high-efficiency AC power supply. Two different port configurations are available: 26-port and 50-port models, each available in either a PoE or non-PoE format. The product range includes the following models:

• ERS 3626GTS –24 x Gigabit RJ45 Access ports, including 2 x Combo Gigabit ports, plus 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplink ports, and 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ dual-use Stack/Uplink ports
• ERS 3626GTS-PWR+ – 24 x Gigabit RJ45 Access ports with PoE+, including 2 x Combo Gigabit ports, plus 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplink ports, and 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ dual-use Stack/Uplink ports
• ERS 3650GTS – 48 x Gigabit RJ45 Access ports, including2 x Combo Gigabit ports, plus 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplink ports, and 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ dual-use Stack/Uplink ports
• ERS 3650GTS-PWR+ – 48 x Gigabit RJ45 Access ports with PoE+, including 2 x Combo Gigabit ports, plus 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ Uplink ports, and 2 x 10 Gigabit SFP+ dual-use Stack/Uplink ports

The product’s proven design leverages a sophisticated chipset from the Industry’s leading supplier, featuring high-performances witching and frame forwarding. The switching core is designed to deliver wire-speed capabilities, with a fully integrated ASIC architecture that facilitates hardware-assisted feature execution.

From an operating system software perspective, the ERS 3600 products are being introduced via the BOSS 6.0 release; therefore, this will be the minimum level of system software required to operate the Switches.

This release also delivers a number of major software enhancements:

• Extreme Networks Fabric Attach - delivering zero-touch Edge provisioning for unattended and IoT devices
• RIPv1/v2 Dynamic IP Routing
• DHCPv6 Guard
• Multicast Listener Discovery v1/v2 Snooping & Proxy
• IPv6 features, including First-Hop Security, Neighbor Discovery Inspection, Source Guard, and Router Advertisement Guard
