Survivable SIP gatewayThe Advanced Gateway 2330s survivable SIP gateway capabilities enable business continuity in case of communication loss to a centralized UC/VoIP server. In this case, branch users can continue to make intra-branch calls, make/receive calls from the locally-connected PSTN, and access commonly used features such as hold, transfer, conferencing, and call waiting. When communication to the central server is restored, the Advanced Gateway 2330 automatically reconnects for resumed access to the UC and VoIP features of the central server. Since this feature is SIP-based, it is compatible with a range of Avaya and third-party SIP servers and phones. The Advanced Gateway 2330 base model supports registration of up to 25 SIP devices and a license option is available for registration of up to 100 SIP users.

Additional gateway management featuresThe Advanced Gateway 2330 provides a number of additional capabilities which improve gateway management and monitoring, increase security, and enable multivendor interoperability. Call Admission Control allows the network manager to define thresholds for on-net calling, after which additional calls are routed directly to the PSTN. This provides capability to manage WAN bandwidth and enable high quality communications from the remote branch. Call Detail Recording enables network managers to monitor call usage and patterns. End-to-end measurement and alarms based on packet delay, jitter, and loss enable network managers to proactively monitor IP network behavior and isolate conditions which may degrade VoIP communications quality before they impact end user satisfaction.

Offline prevention of unregistered users helps enable only registered and authorized users to be able to connect to the Advanced Gateway 2330 during periods of WAN outage.

Optional WAN routing based on Avaya Secure Router 2330The Advanced Gateway 2330 can be software upgraded to a full suite of routing and wide-area networking (WAN) services. When upgraded, the Advanced Gateway becomes functionally equivalent to the Avaya Secure Router 2330 platform capable of delivering voice and data in a single platform. This can help to consolidate multiple devices and reduce an enterprises branch deployment costs. This upgrade adds advanced routing protocols (e.g., OSPF, BGP, RIPv2) as well as support for Layer 2/Layer 3 WAN protocols (e.g., Frame Relay, PPP) to the Advanced Gateways SIP gateway features. In essence, the upgrade converts the Advanced Gateway 2330 into a Secure Router 2330 with all the WAN, routing and gateway features of this platform. The resulting device can operate as a converged branch router with a full suite of data, WAN and gateway services and replace an existing WAN router that might be in place in the branch site.

Multiple package optionsThe Advanced Gateway 2330 is available in several models to address a range of branch/remote site needs and sizes. Each model consists of a modular chassis that is preinstalled with appropriate voice modules (e.g., FXS, FXO, PRI) along with software and licenses: AG2330-2FXO: Includes chassis, 2-port FXO module, 2-port FXS module and packet voice module (PVM) with support for up to 8 active DSP/TDM channels and 25 SIP survivability users.

We are excited by the opportunity to partner with to assist you in overcoming the challenges you face including: Designing-out a lack of end-to-end application availability, potentially caused by individual equipment or component failure, or the inability of data-centric techniques to adequately support modern, delay-sensitive traffic. As modern business becomes intrinsically linked to the performance of its information technology resources, a lack of availability has a direct impact on the potential for consistent growth. The business needs to be flexible, in addition to the general evolution away from paperbased systems to ubiquitous electronic systems. Taken together, this means that the network needs to be easily and seamlessly scaled. Where networks cannot easily and seamlessly be scaled and operationally supported, the business will be impacted. This may involve delayed roll-out of support for users or applications, for increased costs in network deployment or support.

With networks being increasingly important there can also be something of a tendency to make them increasingly complex. However this can be counter-productive. Management is crucial, and simplicity is the key to effective real-work management. Where network management is sub-optimal, or at worst, ineffective, the business is being placed at risk. This generally becomes apparent during periods of downtime and reduced application performance or availability. This has direct and significant impacts on the ability of the business to undertake its core activity. Security continues to be a significant concern for network managers, often featuring right at the top of key purchasing decision criteria. In addition to the traditional threats from external sources there is the ever-expanding insider threat scenario that network managers need to consider and prepare for. Security of the network and of the information that passes over the network is one of the paramount responsibilities of the network manager. The entire survival of the business is put at risk should the network fail to provide levels of protection commensurate with the sensitivity of the information supported. Operational support is one of the areas where major costs and potential savings can be isolated. Wherever possible managers need to set up their network so it is efficiently built and supportable. Increasingly network managers are asked to do more with less. The business can be impacted if the network does not have the appropriate embedded capabilities to enable efficient and effective operational support.

The stacking capacity for the Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 models is similar to that for the existing Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 models: up to eight (8) switches, except when this involves the 5698 models, and then the limit is a maximum of 400 ports; this being governed by software. Therefore it is possible to have an Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 deployment that offers: Stack of 8 x 5632FD 192 ports of 1GbE and 64 ports of 10GbE, or Stack of 8 x 5650TD 384 ports of copper (with or with PoE) and 16 ports of 10GbE, or Stack of 4 x 5698TFD - up to 384 ports of copper (with or with PoE) and up to 24 ports of 1GbE, and 16 ports of 10GbE; the last six Gigabit ports being combo ports either 1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-X SFP, or Any combination of switches (up to the 8 switches or 400 ports maximums)

The Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 products feature non-blocking switch fabrics, with up to 384Gbps of capacity (288Gbps on the 5632FD & 5650TDs), providing an under-subscribed architecture regardless of the combination of both network and stacking interfaces. Avaya Flexible Advanced Stacking Technology delivers a series of differentiated capabilities revolving around three key areas: Bi-directional shortest-path traffic forwarding this capability is at the heart of our resilient stacking architecture, allowing the shortest, optimal forwarding path to be selectively chosen for each unique data flow. Avaya Ethernet Routing Switches do not use the unwieldy logical ring or token technology that competitors use, but a star-based distributed forwarding topology that allows traffic to flow either upstream or downstream simultaneously from each switch in the stack, optimizing both performance and resiliency. Auto-unit replacement this crucial serviceability and operability feature enables any unit failure to be quickly and easily rectified; a hot-swap capability. Enabling immediate like-for-like unit replacement without impacting the remaining stack functionality and traffic, and without complex engineering intervention empowers operators to deploy our stackable solutions just like they would a chassis. The auto-unit replacement

18


functionality automatically delivers the agent image software, the configuration file, and the diagnostic image software to the replacement switch. Scalable stacking performance the high performance logical backplane scales in direct proposition to the number of switches added the bandwidth scales linearly with the addition of each new unit into the stack and the number of ports/users that need to be supported.

The stacking connectors are directly integrated into the switches and recessed for additional robustness therefore no additional purchase is required, and a stacking cable is packaged with each switch. When a stack of Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 switches is created, a number of processes automatically occur: the integrity of the stacking cables is tested and confirmed, the switches are numbered and associated, the base unit is recognized and the temporary base unit is elected. When a stack is established, the Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 units form a stackable chassis solution, delivering crucial operational advantages: high performance logical backplane up to 1.152Tbps for a stack of 8 switches virtual hot-swap capability to facilitate the zero impact replacement of individual units centralized management and distributed forwarding non-blocking, wire-speed switch performance automatic unit replacement; software update and configuration download power redundancy with field replaceable AC and DC supplies up to 400 ports of 10/100/1000 Ethernet, or up to 192 ports of 1GbE & 64 ports of 10GbE the flexibility to stack vertically for wiring closet or core/distribution applications, or horizontally for deployment as the top-of-rack data center solution 100% stack-compatibility between the existing Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 and the new Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 models for enhanced investment protection and additional flexibility

Additionally, the Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 Series features field-replaceable redundant power supplies, both AC and DC variants and a variety of power ratings, to provide power redundancy and 802.3af Class 3 support without the need for any additional external power rack. The Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 Series supports a full suite of sophisticated software features and capabilities, and implements these via a tiered software licensing scheme.

22


that is consistently less than one second, regardless of the failure scenario. Through simplified, resilient solutions, Avaya addresses this need. Switch Clustering Switch Clustering is the Avaya advanced resilient solution utilizing the Split Multi-Link Trunking and Routed Multi-Link Trunking protocols and provides complete protection against any individual component, link or node failure. This solution provides for sub-second recovery combined with user session-based load-balancing all leveraging standards-based dynamic link aggregation at the edge of the network, both user and server. Deploying the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 in the core of a mid-tier network is the ideal solution for delivering highlyavailable services. Routed Split Multi-Link Trunking provides rapid failover for networks that are using dynamic Layer 3 routing protocols, is not dependent on the routing protocol used, and IP Gateway redundancy is achieved by synchronizing forwarding information between switch CPUs. Redundant and resilient chassis-based solution As a stand-alone device, Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 provides an extremely robust platform for resilient networking. The system supports dual redundant switch fabric/CPU modules, N+1 AC or dual-input DC power supplies, and hot-swappable modules and fan trays.

Precision performanceReal-time applications are sensitive to variable performance and are relatively bandwidthintensive. Performance is closely linked to reliability with many of the design options for todays networks being a trade-off between performance needs and reliability requirements. Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 eliminates the need to choose one over the other by delivering high-speed, low-latency performance with superior reliability. Performance architecture At the heart of the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300, there is a passive backplane design and a distributed forwarding architecture that leverages the advantages of dual N-1, active-active switch fabrics. The 720Gbps crossbar and the 8394SF switch fabric module deliver up to 464Gbps of genuine data throughput and 345Mpps of frame forwarding performance per switch. Putting these figures into a business context, an Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 core switch cluster can transport more than 60,000 average-sized office files per second, and still not be subject to contention.

Advanced QoS The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300s Quality of Service (QoS) features allow more efficient use of bandwidth to optimize existing network resources and capabilities, and also provide packet classification and marking at the edge, which simplifies the QoS solution at the core. By classifying, prioritizing, policing and marking LAN traffic, networks can deliver the right service levels for mission-critical and quality-sensitive applications. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 provides eight queues per port and advanced QoS features support the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Differentiated Services (DiffServ) QoS architecture standard packet classification based on the contents of the IP Packet Header fields (e.g., voice, video and data). Avaya Automatic QoS With Avaya Automatic QoS enabled, an Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 supporting an Avaya Unified Communications solution automatically recognizes the special, private Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) values used by these applications, and optimizes the management egress queues. Without this automated functionality, operators would need to have detailed knowledge of how QoS works, and the private DSCP values, to enable manual configuration for optimized queue usage. With this feature, the process is automated and optimized, and protects against mis-configuration. The introduction of Avaya Automatic QoS support on the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 will see the core functionality delivered first, followed by access functionality in a subsequent release. Traffic Policing and Shaping Traffic Policing enables the provisioning of different service levels by limiting traffic throughput at the ingress (inbound) port of the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300. This feature allows limits to be placed upon the amount of bandwidth that particular users or applications can push into the network. An associated capability, Custom Auto-Negotiation Advertisements (CANA), allows for only specified connection rates to be advertised by auto-negotiation, and therefore limits lowpriority devices to the appropriate connection speed. Traffic Shaping offers the ability to limit traffic on egress (outbound) from the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300, typically to comply with some form of service tariff. Enterprises working with Service Providers or Carriers can use this feature when they deploy Ethernet as an alternative to traditional Frame Relay or ATM WAN access solutions. IP Filtering and Deep Packet Pattern Matching IP Filters can be used to manage traffic and provide security, by allowing that specific actions are performed when defined criteria are matched. Only data that matches the pattern is allowed to pass through the filter, and these filters can be used to set traffic priority, drop or allow IP packets, as well as define the conditions for mirroring traffic (e.g., IP Telephony in a contact center environment). Deep Packet Pattern Matching is an advanced implementation of filtering that allows operators to match fields deep within the packet by specifying both an offset and a value to match.

Convergence and Unified CommunicationsThe reality of todays networks is that different applications must be given the quality of service appropriate to their differing needs and requirements. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300

24


facilitates enterprises transition to convergence-based applications by implementing key enabling technologies while minimizing capital and operational costs. Desktop Gigabit Many enterprises are looking to transition from Fast Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet as the default for desktop connectivity. Gigabit Ethernet offers an alternative that is more strategic; as PCs gain more performance and efficiency, there is opportunity to exploit that zone between 100Mbps and 1Gbps. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 enables a seamless transition to Gigabit Ethernet by offering equivalent high-density 10/100 and 10/100/1000 modules that can readily co-exist in the same system. Standards-based Power-over-Ethernet Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) is increasingly becoming the default solution for connectivity for the converged desktop, often in combination with Gigabit Ethernet. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 supports the deployment of IP Telephony, Wireless LAN, and any third-party linepowered device by offering standards-based PoE support on both 10/100 and 10/100/1000 interface modules. Dynamic power management To increase flexibility and see that the highest priority users and devices have service when they need it, Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 PoE Modules support an option to configure the priority level for power delivery. In the event that total available power is less then that generally required by the sum of all the devices, power will be dynamically not statically served on the basis of the configured priority level. Device Auto Discovery The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 automatically recognizes the connection of an IP phone or other convergence device and immediately provides power to it. The switch supports two schemes Avaya Auto-Discovery and Auto-Configuration (ADAC) and standards-based 802.1AB. This flexible capability eases the roll-out of convergence applications and devices, saving time and money. Integrated access control security Lapses or failures in network security can have a costly impact on the profitability of companies. Avaya has developed a multilayered strategy for enhanced defense against threats from external and internal sources. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300, a key element of this strategy, supports comprehensive security services for access control at the access layer. 802.1X/Extensible Authentication Protocol The Avaya commitment to open standards is proven with the Ethernet Switching portfolios support for IEEE 802.1X/Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) across the entire range of Access Switches. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 has comprehensive 802.1X/EAP support with additional enhancements such as: Multiple Hosts Multiple Authentications (MHMA) Multiple Hosts Single Authentication (MHSA) Guest VLAN

25


Mixed EAP/Non-EAP Centralized MAC-based Authentication

These enhancements contribute to a readily deployable solution that is compatible with all standards-compliant third-party 802.1X/ EAP products. This provides enterprises with a means of effectively authenticating access to the network. Identity Engines Portfolio is the Avaya endpoint security and policy compliance solution. It inspects and assesses, and thereby enables compliance to policy and enables remediation at the network end point source, prior to full network access. With Avaya, the enterprise is able to define acceptable criteria for the security software installed on PCs, test these criteria and confirm user credentials all before the user is given any access to corporate servers and information. Any failures or inconsistencies during the check process can be resolved from the safety of a quarantined remediation VLAN, and guest users can be given access to an isolated VLAN (for example, Internet-only access). Assuming successful logon and checking, the users port is automatically assigned to the appropriate production VLAN, with the correct quality settings.

Enhanced usability and flexibilityWith the network now needing to be closely aligned with the business often subject to seasonal variations, or changes through merger and acquisition activity the network needs to have great flexibility and the capability to adapt without impacting availability. The highlyversatile Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 includes a comprehensive set of features, which contribute to the most cost-effective solution for enterprises. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP-Lite) Large private IP networks can often have a requirement for sophisticated IP connectivity. This could be the need to support multiple connections to Internet Service Providers, or to satisfy a requirement to join a number of large internal routing domains and apply access policy. The implementation of BGP-Lite on the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 is intended to provide a subset of the full BGP capability, initially being a reduced scale implementation of iBGP. The feature will support up to four BGP Peers connections, and up to 8,000 BGP Routes. The BGPLite feature is classified as being part of the Advanced License feature set. Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 supports load sharing of Layer 3 traffic by configuring ECMP routing on up to four individual links. ECMP supports static, and RIP and OSPF routing protocols. Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) is a feature that enables better support for wide-scale deployment of Multicast applications client PCs remain in their separate VLANs while sharing access to common multicast streams. Integrated Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 provides an integrated TDR to simplify troubleshooting of the physical copper cable plant, enabling operations to quickly identify faults, isolating the source of problems, and enabling maximum uptime of the network. This provides for remote

26


and non-invasive diagnosis of cabling issues such as cable opens, cable shorts or impedance mismatch reporting. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 can detect and report these issues without the need to unplug cables or use expensive cable testers and additional personnel. Pay-as-you-Grow With the introduction of the tiered software license framework, Avaya enables customers to pay only for the functionality that meets their business needs. This avoids over-investing in unnecessary and unused software feature functionality, yet provides a seamless enhancement path and investment protection.

Can your current network devices handle specific types of traffic differently? With customer information, sales information, and corporate strategies flowing across the network, network security is a priority. must address security of data, access to the network, and protection against attacks. There are many security elements to consider: firewalls, passwords, access policies, secure protocols, address and port filtering, routing policies, and denial of service prevention mechanisms. How you implement these elements is of great importance to the security of your operations. Converged solutions require reliable, secure, and efficient networks. s network must handle multiple types of traffic, each with their own requirements.

31


Additionally, organizations are encouraged to dual-connect servers and, with minimum additional investment, the sub-second failover advantage is automatically extended beyond the boundary of the networking equipment, all the way to the application host. Competitive solutions, basing their failure recovery model on variations of the Spanning Tree Protocol, can not provide a comparable level of resiliency and simplicity.

Future-proofing the networkNetwork devices must be able to distinguish different traffic types and handle different traffic requirements. A sense of traffic class awareness combined with the ability to process each type uniquely sets the intelligent network apart from commonplace offerings. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 combines intelligence and performance to create a next-generation intelligent network solution. The networking industry is a perpetual work-in-progress, an unfinished masterpiece, and the number of standards and recommendations now runs into the thousands. Equipment that is based on a traditional ASIC architecture are limited in that these are set at a certain point in this history and cannot easily adapt to future change; typically this means that newer features and functionality are not supported purely in hardware but require additional software processing. The switching architecture of the Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 is uniquely based on Network Processing Units (NPU) rather than the ASIC technology typically found in rival products. NPUs are large-scale CPU arrays specifically designed for network-related functions such as efficient examination and manipulation of packet headers. The Avaya specialized highperformance NPU is known as the Route Switch Processor (RSP) and is an in-house development. It delivers fast-path protection through its ability to support in-life firmware upgrades and provides 10Gbps line rate switching and routing capabilities regardless of standards evolution. Avaya has been able to leverage this re-programmable capability to deliver new innovative features, such as IPv6 and our flexible IP VPN suite, and is unique in being able to help enable emerging functionality to be continuously delivered at hardwarebased performance levels. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 reduces complexity and risk in network design by simplifying the network architecture and increasing value with advanced features on high-density modules. High port density, combined with rich capabilities and leading reliability technologies, deliver exceptionally high value to the enterprise. Avaya RSP technology, based on this flexible NPU architecture, offers investment protection with the in-field firmware upgrade capability, and helps enable the Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 to remain ever-green, always delivering hardware-based performance.

These advances allow the 8895SF to natively support the new and emerging services and applications that place intense demands on the networking infrastructure. The 8895SF is functionally equivalent to the existing 8692SF switch fabric/CPU module when upgraded with the SuperMezz CPU daughterboard. The software brings support for the new 8003R 3-slot chassis; for the first time this pocket option supports the R/RS-Series new-generation modules and therefore the new and emerging applications that leverage their re-programmable NPU capabilities. One module with many uses The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 supports an innovative hybrid combination module that concurrently supports 10G Ethernet (x2), 1000BASE-X (x24), and 1000BASE-T (x8) ports; economical, flexible and a class-first, this combination module meets the demands of smaller aggregation sites. It is an affordable solution providing all the functionality many enterprises need in one convenient module. Also recent additions to the existing range of high-performance I/O module options offer a number of practical benefits. These include a high-density 10G Ethernet (12 ports per module and up to 96 ports per chassis) and higher-density 1000BASE-X 48-port module that complements the existing 30-port model. RS-Series interface modules enable the Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 to deliver enhanced mirroring capabilities, including enabling one-tomany, many-to-one and many-to-many mirroring for sophisticated traffic analysis and IDS/TPS clustering.

Applications: new capabilities and choices optimize communicationsThrough advanced capabilities including VRF-Lite, IP VPN-Lite, and MPLS-based IP VPN on a single platform, the Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 enables virtual services across campus and metro environments to address new business requirements and applications. For example, a

33


university seeking to connect several campuses can choose traditional MPLS technology or can leverage the Avaya innovative IP VPN-Lite solution. Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF-Lite) Through VRF-Lite on Ethernet Routing Switch 8800, enterprises can use the same hardware platform to create multiple Layer 3 routing domains to support multiple customers and to keep traffic separated for both Unicast and Multicast. The VRF-Lite capability virtualizes routing within the switch, addressing business and networking challenges driven by activities such as mergers and acquisitions, data center consolidation, departmental or business unit segmentation, and evolving audit and compliance requirements. By enabling the switch to have multiple routing instances (up to 255), more sophisticated connections can be enabled in addition to support for overlapping IP addresses. Complete and total traffic separation at Layers 2 and 3 is the usual practice, however the system can be configured to provide inter-VRF forwarding capabilities, allowing shared access to common resources. Virtual Private Networking through IP VPN-Lite The Avaya IP VPN-Lite capability is an innovative IP-in-IP technology that leverages the RSP flexible forwarding engine delivering VPN services that are easier to implement, deploy, and manage. With IP VPN-Lite, enterprises can build any-to-any private connections between local or geographically dispersed sites using any IP infrastructure (private networks or via a public IP Service Provider). IP VPNs are typically used for cross-location connectivity and to create trusted connections to external partner organizations, leveraging IP as the common carriage and removing dependency on specific wide area technologies (such as Frame Relay or ATM) or exclusivity to a single service provider. The Avaya IP VPN-Lite solution is inherently less complex and therefore much more cost-effective than using the MPLS alternative. Managing IP VPN-Lite versus MPLS is simpler and does not require specialized carrier-class IT skills or resources. The foundation of IP VPN-Lite is simply an IP network, using the flexible RFC 2547/4364 connectivity model and it does not require an MPLS-enabled core infrastructure. This simplified solution can scale per carrier-class MPLS with the cost-effective simplicity of a solution designed specifically for the enterprise. Delivering total flexibility, the Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 supports classic MPLS in addition to IP VPN-Lite and VRF-Lite and all VPN technologies can be concurrently leveraged to deliver individually tailored solutions. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) MPLS forms the basis for most service provider IP VPNs and is used in most WAN solutions because it delivers sophisticated connectivity and traffic engineering techniques. By implementing this same functionality the Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 can interoperate directly with 3rd party MPLS networks and participate in their IP VPNs, extending them into the enterprise campus network as required. Enterprise architects can leverage this interoperability to create Ethernet Routing Switch 8800-based MPLS environments that increase the overall level of transparency.

Enterprise-class and enterprise-ready: fit-for-purposeMulticast Virtualization Multicast virtualization of IGMP and PIM-SM/SSM, along with Unicast virtualization, is supported on the same system by leveraging VRF-Lite. This extends the benefit of simplified network design, less investment in hardware, lower operational expense all of which are supported by Switch Clustering resiliency. Avaya Automatic QoS With Avaya Automatic QoS, an Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 supporting an Avaya Unified Communications solution automatically recognizes the special, private Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP) values used by specific Avaya VoIP applications and optimizes the management egress queues. Without this functionality, operators would require detailed knowledge of how QoS works and private DSCP values in order to manually configure optimized queue usage. With this feature, the process is automated, optimized, and protects against mis-configuration. Management and Visibility The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 can be managed by a variety of management tools, creating a flexible operational environment based on business requirements. These include: standardized Command Line Interface (CLI), Web-based Enterprise Device Manager, SNMPbased management (SNMPv1, v2 and v3), and the evolving Unified Communications Management framework for comprehensive, centralized, and multi-facetted network management. Unified Communications Management is based on common services authentication and access control, audit, etc. and then a number of integrated plug-in AJAXbased applets that deliver seamless task-specific capabilities all with a consistent look and feel: Configuration and Orchestration Manager; Visualization Performance and Fault Manager; Enterprise Policy Manager; IP Flow Manager; and Network Resource Manager. Provisioning wizards and other labor-saving tools help enable faster service activation and a more consistent approach to configuration; this has the added benefit of reducing human-error as templates are pre-populated with best-practice recommendations or mandatory values. The entire framework is context-based which enables a faster, more accurate and highly-intelligent approach to delivering both device-centric and network-wide management services. The Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 also supports enhanced system-wide troubleshooting information and provides comprehensive information should the CPU need to recover automatically. The Key Health Indicators (KHI) capability allows for the collection of statistics and information about the health of the system for troubleshooting purposes related to system failure, and identifies a small number of key health indicators that allow quick assessment of the overall operational state. Additional sophisticated system analysis tools such as RSP packet tracing and ERCD records dump enhance the serviceability and operational posture of the Ethernet Routing Switch 8800 platform.
