Overview


Corecess 5608 is a Powerful Metro Ethernet CPE for "Triple Play Package" Services that enables various services to the customers. With the help of the features offered by Corecess 5608 which is commonly connected to CO (Central Office) equipment directly at Metro Ethernet network, service providers can make real TPS (Triple Play Package Service) possible.

From the services point of view, Corecess 5608 can provide secure access and advanced quality of service (QoS) features for enabling the delivery of "Triple Play" Services, which is a new term that has been coined from the often used term "Multimedia Services". This feature is aimed at providing priority traffic including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real-time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics. It also makes sure that providing priority for one or more flows does not make other flows fail.

By incorporating these highly integrated and well-equipped service features into the Corecess 5608 product, many powerful services are possible at CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) network.

Corecess 5608 is one of the Corecess 5600 series products, which has 12.8 Gbps of Switching Throughput, wire speed forwarding capability, and fine tuned traffic control features. Two optional slots are also available in which 100Base-FX or a gigabit board for the GBIC adaptor can be provided.

Corecess 5608 is suitable for applications which demand any or a combination of the following - Layer 2 aggregation, IP routing, Layer 3 forwarding, rate-limiting, traffic engineering, and QoS marking and classification.

Corecess 5608 is highly useful, especially for metro Ethernet service providers. For metro Ethernet applications, Corecess 5608 can be promoted as a solution for the Corecess 5400 series and the Corecess 9500 series Layer 3 gigabit aggregation switches to provide a comprehensive solution governing the region from the edge to the customer premise.


Key Features & Benefits

Powerful Performance and Fault Backup
Hardware based packet processing meets the performance criteria in order to generate wire-speed traffic flows.
Supports hot swappable optional modules.
Supports quick fail over recovery network resiliency through past spanning-tree convergence (RSTP).
Can detect the failure of FANs.

Advanced Quality of Service for "Triple Play" service support
Extensive IP QoS marking and processing through deep packet classification on each port to support each port on a per packet basis.
The user can configure Corecess 5608 to optimally handle different types of traffic: voice, video or high priority data traffic.
802.1p class of service (CoS) and Differentiated Services Code Point field (DSCP) classification via marking and reclassification on a per packet basis using source/destination IP address, source/destination MAC address, or Layer 4 based TCP/UDP port number.
Quality of service ACLs on all ports ensure proper marking on a per packet basis.
Weighted Random Early Detection (WRED) for avoidance of congestion at the egress queues before disruption occurs. WRED provides separate thresholds and weights for different IP precedence, enabling different qualities of service for different traffic.
Strict priority queuing to guarantee that the highest priority packets will always get serviced ahead of all other traffic.
No performance penalty for highly granular quality of service functionality.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping provides for fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to only the requestors.


Granular Rate Limiting and Traffic Shaping
Corecess 5608 guarantees incremental bandwidth as low as 64 Kbps.
Rate limiting is based on source/destination IP address, source/destination MAC address, or Layer 4 TCP/UDP information or a combination of these fields.
Ability to easily manage data flows asynchronously upstream and downstream from the end station or on the uplink via ingress and egress policing.

Powerful Security
ACLs on all VLANs to prevent unauthorized data flows to be bridged within VLANs.
MAC based port level security prevents unauthorized stations from accessing the switch.
DHCP filtering also provides added security preventing unauthorized stations from accessing the switch.
Multilevel security on console access prevents unauthorized users from altering the switch configuration.
RADIUS authentication enables centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the switch configuration.

IP Service Creation Platform
Provide guaranteed bandwidth service using rate limiting.
Several kinds of Access Control Lists (ACLs) make for a reliable network.
IP service creation through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
Corecess 5608 routing architecture performed on the hardware to deliver extremely high performance IP routing feature.
Support for all commonly deployed industry standard IP unicast routing protocols (RIPv1, RIPv2, OSPF, BGP-4, VRRP, IS-IS) for load balancing and constructing scalable LANs to avoid any imbalance at the LAN¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s.
Static IP routing for manually building a routing table consisting of network path information.
Inter-VLAN IP routing for full Layer 3 routing between two or more VLANs.
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) for IP multicast routing within a network that enables the network to receive the multicast feed requested and for switches not participating in the multicast to be pruned. Support for PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM) and dense mode(PIM-DM).


Scalability
Multiple Corecess 5000 systems are manageable using single IP address by configured daisy chain.
Corecess 5000 systems are configured with daisy chain using Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) and deliver a hardware based stacking structure without the stacking bus.

Powerful Manageability
Built in Web based Management Software provides an easy to use Web based management interface through a standard web browser. (Web Console)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1 and v2c, and Telnet interface support delivers comprehensive in-band management and a command-line interface (CLI)-based management console provides detailed out-of-band management.
CLI provides easy to use user interface and command set for monitoring and management of all elements in the network.
Through ViewlinX™ network management software user can manage Corecess 5608 in detail like, in-band and out-band management.
Multiple Corecess 5000 series systems can be managed using a single IP address.
VLAN trunks can be created from any port using either standards based 802.1Q tagging or VLAN management command.
Support for up to 4,096 VLANs.
IGMP snooping provides for fast client joins and leaves of multicast streams and limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to only the requestors.
Embedded Remote Monitoring (RMON) software agent supports four RMON groups (History, Statistics, Alarms and Events) for enhanced traffic management, monitoring, and analysis.
Domain Name Services (DNS) provide IP address resolution with user defined device names.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) reduces the cost of administering software upgrades by downloading from a centralized location.
Network Timing Protocol (NTP) provides an accurate and consistent timestamp to all switches within the intranet.
Multifunctional LEDs per port for port status, half-duplex/full-duplex, 10BaseT/100BaseTX indication, as well as switch level status LEDs for system, redundant power supplies provide a comprehensive and convenient visual management system so as to effectively manage all processes.
Ethernet out-of-band management port is available.

Easy Deployment
Auto-sensing on each non-GBIC port detects the speed of the attached device and automatically configures the port for 10 or 100 Mbps operation, easing the deployment of the switch in mixed 10, 100BaseT environments/interfaces.
Auto-negotiating on all ports automatically selects half or full duplex transmission mode to optimize bandwidth.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) relay allows broadcast DHCP requests to be forwarded to the network DHCP server.
IEEE 802.3z-compliant 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX/LH, physical interface support through a field-replaceable GBIC module provides customers unprecedented flexibility in switch deployment.
The default configuration stored in the Flash memory ensures the switch to be quickly connected to the network and be able to pass traffic with minimal user intervention at the switch level.

Multiple network topology support
Point-to-point network topology.
Point-to-multipoint network topology.
