ES4704BD
Edge-core™ Chassis Core Routing Switch
The SMC Edge-Core ES4704BD is a high performance, 4-slot, Layer 3 chassis
switch which supports IPv4/IPv6. It can operate with single or dual
management modules. The Slots can be any combination of network
interface modules and 1 or 2 management modules. Furthermore, manage-
ment modules also include network interfaces so total port density and slot
usage is increased. With redundant power supplies, fans, and management
modules, the SMC Edge-Core ES4704BD ensures continuous operation and
is a fully redundant system. All parts of the system are hotswappable mean-
ing that all components can be added or exchanged without interrupting the
whole system. The ES4704BD is ideal for the core of a campus, enterprise
networks or for the aggregation layer of an IP metropolitan networks..
OVERVIEW
FEATURES BENEFITS
The SMC EdgeCore ES4704BD supports high port density
performance.
Supports up to 12 10G ports or 156 Gigabit ports, providing fl exibility and high
port density
Up to 4 10G Ports per module 10G modules support up to 4 ports for link to L3 Gigabit switches or L2 Gigabit
switches, aggregating them to the core layer, and preventing bottlenecks in Gigabit
switches
Full Layer 3 support Supports RIP, OSPF and BGP4+ for Unicast routing and DVMRP and PIM-DM/SM
for multicast routing. VRRP is included for added redundancy
IPv6 Routing Support The SMC EdgeCore ES4704BD supports IPv6 routing in hardware for maximum
performance
