Product Overview The Switch 5500 Family are Layer 3 switching products supporting expandable resilient
networking (XRN). The Switch 5500 can be one of two series: Switch 5500-SI or the
Switch 5500-EI. The Switch 5500 family supports simple routing, basic service features,
and basic XRN; the Switch 5500 family supports rather complex routing protocols,
abundant service features and enhanced XRN. Besides saving user cost otherwise invested
on module rack-type switches, the Switch 5500 family with XRN also offer excellent
network availability, upgrade ability, performance, and power network control capacity.
