1800-ZTEDATA

Features and Specifications

• Carrier-Class Reliability - Physical layer redundancy supports external power supply and line-card hot-swap, protocol layer redundancy roundly supports VRRP/STP/RSTP/MSTP/LACP/ZESR(ZTE Ethernet Smart Ring) etc. network reliable protection technologies and route load sharing.

• Wire-Speed Forwarding and Filtering - ASIC hardware switching is used to ensure the wire-speed forwarding of L2, L3 and IPv6 packets. ASIC hardware filtering is used to ensure packets filtering on L2-L7 and wire-speed performance of L2-L4 ACL.

• IPTV Controllable Multicast - ZXR10 5900 supports complete controllable multicasting protocols, including IGMP Snooping /IGMP Filter /IGMP Fast Leave /IGMP Proxy, CAC channel access control, PRV channel preview, multicasting VLAN registration and multicasting service management. ZXR10 59 supports multicast routing protocols such as IGMP, PIM-DM/SM, MSDP and MBGP, etc

• IPv6 Ready and POE Enhancement - ZTE ZXR10 5900 and ZXROS platform has passed IPv6 Forum test and obtain IPv6 Ready Phase-2 Gold Logo. It supports IPv6 without any hardware replacement. ZXR10 5928-PSsupports POE,IEEE 802.3af, power <30W every port. Max support port number 24.

• SES (Super Extendable Stacking) - SES can integrate the resources of several switches to expand the overall switching capacity and port density, and in this way, several switches can be put together as one super switch. Compared with the stacking technology in the past, SES is essentially an extendable stacking technology. Super Switch, which uses SES stacking technology, is not independent switch units essentially, but a distributed switch (Chassis) system.

Architecture and Key Components

The ZXR10 5900 series routing switches are designed with leading ASIC hardware forwarding technologies, where all forwarding functions are performed by hardware, thus ensuring wire-speed forwarding capability of the ports. The ASIC can perform L2 switching, IPv4 routing, IPv6 routing, and L2-L7 traffic filtering at wire speed.

The hardware system of ZXR10 5952/5928/5928-FI/5928-PS consists of one main control board and some service cards. As per different functions these modules have, they can be classified into switching and control module, power supply module and interface module.

The software system of ZXR10 5900 series uses ZXROS modular large-scale routing platform software as its core. As a result of our long years’ efforts in data products, this platform software also serves the ZXR10 series high-end routers and switches. It provides a great variety of protocol stacks required for L2, L3 and IPv6, and provides unified interfaces to its lower layers. The distributed operating system platform provides the system with operating system support, and provides all basic elements to be invoked by all software applications.

The NM and Operation & Maintenance module provides user management interface for the switch. This module allows users to manage and operate with the switch through a wide variety of means such as RS232 interface, Telnet, SSH, and SNMP, etc.
