RiverStone Networks Aggregation Layer-3 Switch Shelf

Description

The Riverstone ES10170 is a new generation of Ethernet aggregation Layer-3 switch designed for wiring closets and Carrier data centers. The Used Riverstone ES10170 can deliver 448 Fast Ethernet + 4 Gigabit Ethernet or 60 Gigabit Ethernet ports at wire-speed in a modular chassis occupying only 5 rack units. This high port density helps save rack space and can decrease operational complexity by reducing the number of deployed network elements. The modular chassis is designed for growth - the Used Riverstone ES10170 can be deployed with as few as 64 Fast Ethernet and 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports, and is expandable up to 448 Fast Ethernet ports or 60 Gigabit Ethernet ports. In addition, the Used Riverstone ES10170 allows network capacity to scale further by supporting 8 Gigabit trunked links over CWDM optical fiber connections.The Used Riverstone ES10170 features full-function hardware-based switching & routing capabilities. It also has an unmatched range of features such as packet filtering, rate limiting, prioritization and accounting which combine to give pinpoint bandwidth control and monitoring. In addition, a full suite of server load balancing features allows the Used Riverstone ES10170 to provide the switching engine for web and e-commerce server farms. Equipped with the same reliability and redundancy features normally found in a carrier-class network, the Used Riverstone ES10170 is ideally suited for the most demanding points in a business's mission-critical network.Key Applications * High Availability L2/L3 LAN Core Switch - Full function routing with carrier class reliability for non stop mission-critical environments.
