ECS4530 Series

L2+/L3 Lite Gigabit Ethernet CSFP Switch with

4 10G and 2 20G Uplinks

Product Overview

The Edgecore ECS4530 Series switch is a high port density Gigabit Ethernet fiber switch with four 10G uplink ports. By inserting a

CSFP transceiver with two bidirectional fiber ports into a CSFP port, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Multiple System

Operators (MSOs) can support twice as many subscribers per port and reduce the space and heating or cooling costs needed for

deploying two 24 port switches and larger 48-port switches. The switch is ideal for ISPs/MSOs that want to provide home users with

FTTH triple-play services with up to a Gigabit of bandwidth. It is also ideal for ISPs/MSOs that want to aggregate FE/GE access

switches with Gigabit fiber uplinks. The ECS4530 Series switch 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 advanced IPv6 management, IPv6 security, and IPv6 multicast control in accordance with the growth of IPv6

deployment.

Key Features and Benefits

Performance and Scalability

The Edgecore ECS4530 Series is a high-performance Gigabit

Ethernet Layer 2+ managed switch with 256Gbps switching

capacity.

The

switch

delivers

wire-speed

switching

performance on all Gigabit ports, taking full advantage of

existing high-performance Gigabit fiber IAD, CPEs, and access

switches with Gigabit fiber uplinks etc, significantly improving

the responsiveness of applications and file transfer times.

There are 24 CSFP ports, and by inserting a CSFP transceiver

that supports two BIDI fiber ports, each port can connect to two

CPE/IAD devices, so the total number of physical ports is 48.

The four built-in 10G SFP+ ports provide uplink flexibility,

allowing the insertion of fiber or copper, Gigabit or 10G

transceivers, to create 10 Gbps high-speed uplinks to servers or

service provider, corporate, or campus networks, reducing

bottlenecks and increasing the performance of the access

network.

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 ECS4530 Series supports IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation

Control Protocol (LACP). It increases bandwidth by

automatically aggregating several physical links together as a

logical trunk and offers load balancing and fault tolerance for

uplink connections.

The ECS4530 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.

For a world always connected…

Enhanced Security

Port security limits the total number of devices from using a

switch port and protects against MAC flooding attacks.

IEEE 802.1X port-based or MAC-based access control

ensures all users are authorized before being granted access

to the network. When a user is authenticated, the VLAN, QoS

and security policy are automatically applied the port where

the user is connected, otherwise the port is grouped in a guest

VLAN with limited access.

DHCP snooping allows a switch to protect a network from

rogue DHCP servers that offer invalid IP addresses.

IP Source Guard prevents people from using IP addresses that

were not assigned to them.

Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to

sensitive network resources by denying packets based on

source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or

TCP/UDP ports. ACLs are hardware supported, so switching

performance is not compromised.

Private VLANs (traffic segmentation per port) isolate edge

ports to ensure user privacy.

DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection) is a security feature that

validates Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets in a

network. DAI allows a network administrator to intercept, log,

and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC-to-IP address

bindings.

Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS)

encrypt Telnet and web access to the switch, providing secure

network management.

The ECS4530 Series also supports both RADIUS and

TACACS+ authentication methods to secure your network.
