ZTE Switch ZXR10 5960 Series All 10Gigabit Switch ZTE 5960-32DL 5960-64DL 5960-64NL 5960-52TM 

ZXR10 5960 series all 10Gigabit switches are box-like layer 3 10Gig MPLS routing switches that deliver ultra-big switching capacity, carrier-grade reliability and superior scalability. 

With support to abundant Datacenter related features including virtual switching and lossless Ethernet, 1RU height, optional back-to-front/front-to-back airflow, ZXR10 5960 is suitable to act as a Datacenter TOR.

Featuring full L2/L3/MPLS capability, ZXR10 5960 is also a good choice for 10Gig aggregation purpose in campus network, especially in space constrained environments.

Currently ZXR10 5960 includes two switch types: 5960-32DL and 5960-64DL. The interface offerings of these two switches are listed below:

5960-32DL: 2*40GE QSFP +24*10GE SFP+ 

5960-64DL: 4*40GE QSFP +48*10GE SFP+ 

Advantages

High Density 10Gig Interface Box 

ZXR10 5960-32DL can provide maximally 32 10Gig interfaces and 640Gbps throughput, while ZXR10 5960-64DL can provide maximally 64 10Gig interfaces and 1.28Tbps throughput.

With such strong switching capacity and high density 10G interfaces, it enables the deployment of large amount of servers with 10 interfaces. With ZXR10 5960, high density 10Gig aggregation can also be achieved in campus network/enterprise network.

 Scalable uplink interface card

ZXR10 5960 supports 40Gig uplink interfaces; 5960-32DL can provide maximally 2 40Gig QSFP interfaces, while 5960-64DL can provide maximally 4 40Gig QSFP interfaces. Each 40Gig interface can be optionally configured as 4 10Gig interfaces.

Full Service support 

ZXR10 5960 supports diversified VLAN features, including  Port-based VLAN, Subnet VLAN, Protocol-based VLAN, Selective QinQ, VLAN translation in order to separate/distinguish different user's different services in different scenarios.

ZXR10 5960 supports Voice VLAN, which means the automatic assignment of dedicated VLAN and QoS strategy to voice equipments, thus enabling the voice traffic to enjoy high priority.

Multicast based technologies like video surveillance/tele-presence are important services for Enterprise users nowadays. ZXR10 5960 fully supports L2/L3 multicast, including IGMP snooping, Filtering, Proxy and Fast-leave, MVR (Multicast VLAN Registration) and PIM-SM to facilitate the deployments of these services.

ZXR10 5960 fully support MPLS L2/L3 VPN, providing an economical reliable VPN solution for commercial uses.

ZXR10 5960 also supports MCE, enabling it to run multiple VPN instances without running MPLS, relieving pressure on the PE (provider edge) equipment.

Full Data Center Features 

ZXR10 5960 supports IEEE 802.1Qbg EVB (Ethernet Virtual Bridging); With full support to related protocols like VDP, EDCP and CDP, EVB can run smoothly.

ZXR10 5960 supports multiple EVB patterns including VM, VEB, VEPA (Virtual Ethernet Port aggregator), while different patterns can coexist, fulfilling different networking requirements.

ZXR10 5960 supports abundant lossless Ethernet features:

ZXR10 5960 supports DCTCP (Data Center TCP), which helps relieve the congestion problem caused by TCP transmission mechanism, promoting end-to-end performance; 

ZXR10 5960 supports PFC (Priority-based Flow Control), enabling the switch to implement queue-based flow control, avoiding packet loss caused by port-based flow control;

ZXR10 5960 supports QCN (Quantized Congestion Notification), enabling the switch to send/relay the congestion message all the way to the source node in the network, relieving the congestion from the root.

ZXR10 5960 support ETS (Enhanced Transmission Selection), which is the optimal model for bandwidth allocation and priority manipulation in Datacenter Scenario.

ZXR10 5960 support DCBX (Data Center Bridging Exchange), which allows the switch to negotiate with the peer about their DCB capability.
