Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4548GT-PWR

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series is a Stackable system providing high-performance, convergence-ready, secure and resilient Ethernet switching connectivity. Available as a range of 11 model variants supporting 10/100 and 10/100/1000 switching, Power-over-Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink options, the Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series is ideally suited for Enterprise wiring closet and other network edge deployments. The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series (ERS 4500) provides genuine resilient Stacking, Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing, and advanced convergence features.

This enables the ERS 4500 Series to deliver the scalability and resiliency required by today’s application-driven Enterprise networks while reducing total operational costs. Indeed, ERS 4500 models are up to 40% more energy efficient than competitive products, ensuring superior total cost of ownership. energy saver functionality further reduces power consumption for both switch and IP phone without losing telephony connectivity.

Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 offers a wide range of flexible security options to ensure that only authorized personnel gain access to a company’s LAN. Whether it is through use of an IEEE 802.1X-based EAP Client or through a device’s MAC Address, network managers can validate that only those who have successfully been authenticated have access to specified resources. The ERS 4500 can also be used in conjunction with Nortel’s innovative Secure Network Access solution for advanced policy-based and centralized user/device authentication.

For further flexibility, the Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 can support the authentication of multiple devices/ Users on a single port. For example, if a User’s PC connects into the network via an IP Phone, the PC and the IP Phone can both be independently authenticated on that port. Additionally, if your company frequently has visiting users, support for a Guest VLAN allows these non-authenticated users to still use the network but to only have access to those resources that have been pre-defined for the Guests, such as Internet access.
