Layer 3 Forwarding
Layer 3 forwarding is the forwarding of Layer 3 packets (IP packet) across VLANs, which
ES4710BD uses switch chip hardware to forward IP packets, facilitating the on-chip host route
entries and default routing table entries, allowing IP packets to be forwarded at full wire speed.
Layer 3 Routing Protocols
ES4710BD supports static routing (RIP, OSPF and BGP routing protocols) and Multicast Protocols
(IGMP, IGMP Snooping, PIM-SM, PIM-DM and DVMRP) and MPLS, MPLS VPN, MPLS TE,
Policy Routing, IPv6, Load Balance and Firewall etc.
QoS
ES4710BD supports various QoS policies. It provides 8 priority queues for each port with
bandwidth that can be individually set. WRR/SP/SWRR scheduling are also supported. Traffic can
be sorted by ports, VLAN, DSCP, IP precedence and ACL, etc. By assigning different DSCP, IP
priorities and bandwidth, different service quality for voice, data and video transmissions can be
achieved.
ACL
ES4710BD supports standard and extended ACLs. ACL is an IP packets filtering mechanism
employed by switches, providing network traffic control by granting or denying access through the
switches, and thus effectively safeguarding the security of networks. ES4710BD can filter inbound
IP-based traffic by source/destination IP/Mac addresses, IP protocol types, TCP/IP port numbers, IP
Precedence and ToS information.
IEEE802.1x Access Authentication
ES4710BD supports port-based IEEE802.1x access authentication. Access authentication can be
managed by number of client per port and dynamic secure authentication based on MAC addresses.
The combination of the IEEE802.1x authentication methods and Edge-Core authentication billing
products will provide a complete IEEE802.1x access authentication and billing solution, well
satisfying our customers’ requirements on access, authentication and billing management with
guaranteed network security and charging.
Spanning Tree
ES4710BD provides support for IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), IEEE 802.1w Rapid
Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and IEEE802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
Spanning-Tree Protocol is a link management protocol that provides path redundancy while
preventing undesirable loops in the network.
Bandwidth Management (Port bandwidth Limit)
ES4710BD features upstream and downstream bandwidth management for both, enabling different
access bandwidth to be specified according to user levels. Each port can be assigned with different
bandwidth to meet the management demands of Access networks.
Trunk Port
Trunk port of IEEE802.3ad is supported by ES4710BD. A Trunk group of 2 to 8 ports can be
established for link redundancy and load balance.
