Benefits

Future proof architecture

As the flagship of ZyXEL’s MSAN product portfolio, the IES-6000 Series is equipped with 

non-blocking Gigabit backplane, failover-enabled Management Switch Cards (MSC), dual input 

power modules and various high-port density multi-purpose line cards. With comprehensive 

IP-centric firmware features, the IES-6000 Series is a high-capacity system that facilitates 

telcos/ISPs to deliver high-quality residential or business user services experience at competitive 

CAPEX/OPEX as well as satisfying its current and future infrastructural requirements of reliability, 

flexibility and scalability.

Easy & reused logistics

The IES-6000 Series is a 12.5 U-height, 17-slot chassis-based multi-service access node capable of 

adopting the same line cards as those for IES-5000/IES-5005 systems. The MSC1024G Management 

Switch Card with eight 1G uplinks is designed to plug into slot 8 and/or slot 9, while the remaining 

slots are available for equipping various line cards. The MSC1224G Management Switch Card is 

with two 10G and six 1G Ethernet uplinks to support even higher bandwidth requirement. Both 

the new-generation MSC, MSC1024GB & MSC1224GB, share the same attributes of their 

predecessors and are IPv6 hardware ready. The variety of line cards are including 48-port or 

72-port ADSL2+ line cards that provide subscribers with asymmetric transmission bandwidth up 

to 25 Mbps/2.4 Mbps; 48-port SHDSL.bis line cards with symmetric transmission bandwidth of 5.69 

Mbps per port; 24-port and 48-port VDSL2 line cards that offer up profile 30a (100/100 Mbps) 

high-speed connectivity per port over copper wires; 72-port or 48-port VoIP line card that supports 

either H.248 or SIP protocol, 20-port fiber-based Fast Ethernet line card that supports 100 Mbps 

transmission speed per port and 8-port E1 IMA card.

Advanced Triple Play and mass deployment functionality

The IES-6000 Series inherits all the Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS, security and multicast functionalities 

from the IES-5000/IES-5005, while the following new features are added to satisfy the 

requirements for massive field deployments: (1) IP bridge functionality that alleviates the Layer 2 

access network deployment restrictions resulted from MAC address table limitation and security 

attack issues; (2) ARP Proxy which minimizes the ARP broadcast requests to all subscribers; (3) 

mechanism to support remote authentication with  servers; (4) VLAN-aware 

DHCP snooping which adds VLAN information into DHCP snooping tables; (5) DHCP option 82 

sub-option 2 for providing remote client ID information to DHCP servers for flexible IP address 

assignment. (6) Cluster management feature that is able to reduce the OPEX of multiple MSAN 

maintenance.
