ZTE Switch ZXR10 8900E Series Core Switch RS-8902E RS-8905E RS-8908E RS-8912E

ZXR10 8900E series core switches are high-end modular switches featuring big switching capacity, full L2/L3/MPLS service capability, high-performance, superior reliability and enhanced security. ZXR10 8900E series switches are designed for the core/aggregation layer of the campus network or Datacenter core. ZXR10 8900E series switches include four models: ZXR10 8902E, 8905E, 8908E and 8912E. 

ZXR10 8900E adopts advanced hardware architecture and is capable of providing up to 48 10GE interfaces per slot and 40G interfaces. In the future 8900E will be able to be smoothly upgraded to provide 100G interfaces.

Advantages

Super Big capacity/High Density Interfaces

With distributed modular design, non-blocking switching architecture, brand new big-bandwidth fabric, ZXR10 8900E is an advanced core switch in the industry. 

Each single slot of ZXR10 8900E can provide maximally 48*10GE interfaces or 8*40GE interfaces. In the future 8900E will be able to be smoothly upgraded to provide 100G interfaces.

VSC Construct Solid Cloud Core

ZXR10 8900E supports Virtual Switch Clustering (VSC), which means the virtualization of multiple physical switches into one logical switch. VSC enhances cluster system capacity and port density, while at the same time simplifies simple topology and eases administration. 

 Multiple physical switches can be interconnected through the normal line cards. The 80KM interconnection capability makes it possible to implement remote IDC backup.

The bandwidth of the VSC interconnection can reach 320Gbps, eliminating any possible bottleneck in the VSC system.

The forwarding inside VSC system is optimized so that there will be least amount of traffic passing between VSC members.

Switchover between master and slave in VSC system is really fast and the switchover will not cause any service interruption.

Distributed Module Operating System ROS5.0

ZXR10 8900E adopts full-distributed modular design: each function module can be loaded or unloaded independently; each process enjoys its dedicated resources alone; the coordination between processes is efficient and secure.

Each line card has its own CPU, while the main-control card is equipped with a more powerful CPU. Distributed protocol processing helps promote the overall computing efficiency.

The expansion of management interfaces is flexible. Currently ZXR10 8900E is compatible with management interfaces XML and Netconf.

Multi-service Bearing Capabilities

ZXR10 8900E supports rich features, including full L2/L3 features, multicast, MPLS L2/L3 VPN, etc.

ZXR10 8900E supports complete L2/L3 multicast technologies, including administratively scoped multicast, MVR, IGMP Snooping, Filtering, Proxy, Fast Leave, IGMP,PIM-DM/SM, PIM-SSM, DVMRP and MSDP. All these features help Enterprise user to deploy multicast applications such as video conferencing and video surveillances.

Comprehensive IPv6 Features

ZXR10 8900E supports comprehensive IPv6 features, to facilitate the migration to IPv6 network. For example, ZXR10 8900E supports all basic IPv6 features such as ICMPv6, ND, SNMPv6, RADIUSv6; It also supports IPv6 routing protocols such as OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, BGP4+, PIM-SM for IPv6, MLD snooping; Multiple tunnel technologies are also supported including 6to4 tunnel, ISATAP tunnel, 6vPE, 6PE, etc.

Multi-Dimensional Security & Reliability Mechanism Guarantees Ever-online Services 

Security/Reliability related designs in ZXR10 8900E fall into five categories, which are secure architecture, secure management and control, secure operating system, secure calculation and reliable service. 

Secure architecture: Redundant backup design has been put in place for the forwarding control engines. Fast active/standby switchover is supported. Redundant power supply module, fan module and clock module combined to make the switch more robust. What’s more, ZXR10 8900E supports intelligent inspection, control, warning and hot-swappable components. 

Secure management and control: Independent control, monitoring and forwarding planes guarantee superior equipment stability. 

Secure operating system: ZXR10 8900E supports modular service, intelligent and dynamical load/unload of the function modules.

Secure processing: Based upon multi-core CPU, ZXR10 8900E implements multi-thread parallel high-performance processing to guarantee seamless collaboration of multiple modules. 

Reliable services: ZXR10 8900E supports multiple kinds of redundancy/backup mechanisms including ZESR intelligent Ethernet smart ring, VRRP, LACP, FRR, NSF and BFD. Service reliability can be well guaranteed.

Environment-friendly Innovtions

ZXR10 8900E supports multiple environmental-friendly innovations, including centralized power management, 5 level intelligent fan speed adjustment. All these environmental friendly designs help cut the power consumption.

ZXR10 8900E supports dying gasp, in case there is a power failure, 8900E can still send out an alarm to the network OAM center, to inform about the reason of the network break down. In this way, the time to do the trouble-shooting on these kinds of events could be minimized
