INTRODUCTION
Over the last few years, more and more large-scale projects are utilising NGN concept in
communication network development. One of the main tasks in implementing large multiservice networks
is to create reliable high-performance backbone networks for multilayer architecture of next-generation
networks.
High-speed data transmission, especially in large-scale networks, requires a network topology that
will allow flexible distribution of high-speed data flows.
MES53xx, MES33xx, MES23xx series switches can be used in large enterprise networks, SMB
networks and carrier networks. These switches deliver high performance, flexibility, security, and multi-
tier QoS. MES5324 and MES3324 switches provide better availability due to protection of nodes that
enable fail-over operation and backup of power and ventilation modules.
This operation manual describes intended use, specifications, first-time set-up recommendations,
and the syntax of commands used for configuration, monitoring and firmware update of the switches.
