Passport 6400 Multiservice Edge Switch
- "The Passport 6400 Multiservice Edge Switch
is a multiservice edge switch that consolidates
multiple enterprise services into a single, easily
managed solution." 
Passport
6400 Express Manager provides a rapidly deployable
and easy-to-use management solution for networks
with five or fewer Passports 6400 switches, providing
simultaneous surveillance, configuration, and
software distribution. The Passport family of
high-performance backbone switches is designed
for building and consolidating high-speed enterprise
telephony/data networks.
Passport
6400 Express Manager is based on the latest release
of the time-tested and field-proven Nortel Networks
Open Management System for Passport (OMS-P). Designed
for larger Passport networks, OMS-P is based on
the Unix operating system and requires a network
management platform. Passport 6400 Express Manager,
which is designed for small networks, operates
on the Microsoft Windows NT operating system and
does not require a management platform. This provides
administrators with an economical solution and
a proven graphical interface to configure, monitor,
and maintain small networks of Passport 6400 switches.
Passport
7480 "Passport 7480 is used for access
adaptation and backbone switching, supporting
circuit emulation, IP, ATM and more."
High-performance,
scalable, multiservice switches delivering price-performance,
investment protection, and management simplicity
Nortel Networks Passport 7400 Series products
are Nortel Networks cost-effective multiservice
switch for access adaptation and backbone switching,
supporting circuit emulation, IP, frame relay,
ATM, and voice services.
Including the 16-slot Passport 7480 and the 5-slot
Passport 7440, the series switches offer multiservice
access consolidation for speeds up to OC3 and
delivers flexible growth and high availability
through a scalable redundant hardware architecture.
BN
(Backbone Node) Large
networks require a powerful routing device capable
of delivering data quickly and efficiently, 
regardless of the data's protocol, the network's
topology, or other factors. Since networked applications
are mission-critical in nature, network downtime
must be zero.
Users require routers that provide the greatest
number of WAN interfaces and can produce the highest
throughput from expensive WAN bandwidth. As more
applications use multicast and Quality of Service
(QoS) features, customers also want their investments
to continue to perform into the future. Nortel Networks
meets these requirements with the Backbone Node
(BN*) router family, consisting of the Backbone
Link Node (BLN*) and Backbone Concentrator Node
(BCN*).
The Backbone Node router family is a key element
of Nortel Networks Unified Networks* strategy, which
includes a broad range of end-to-end multiservice
solutions. Unified Networks create greater value
for customers worldwide by delivering integrated
network solutions spanning data and telephony.
As proven by Bradner Labs at Harvard University,
a BN router forwards more than twice as many packets
as its nearest competitor. This is accomplished
through a symmetric multiprocessor architecture,
which allows multiple processors to function as
a single logical router. The BN router family also
features a layered system software architecture
and extensive fault management capabilities that
isolate malfunctions before other router components
are affected.
The routers' symmetric multiprocessor architecture
uses multiple Fast Routing Engines (FRE*), multiple
ATM Routing Engine (ARE) processor modules, and
Nortel Networks 1 Gbps Parallel Packet Express (PPX*)
to deliver industry-leading performance and availability.
Providing aggregate system-forwarding performance
that scales to five million pps, Nortel Networks
BCN router supports up to 104 WAN interfaces, 52
LAN interfaces, and 13 ATM or FDDI interfaces. The
BLN router supports forwarding performance of over
330,000 pps and up to 32 WAN interfaces, 16 LAN
interfaces, and 4 ATM or FDDI interfaces. Comprehensive
hardware and software redundancy options provide
complete fault resiliency.
ASN
(Access Node)
The Nortel Networks Access Stack Node (ASN) is
a stackable router architecture providing cost-effective
solutions for enterprise network centres. Nortel
Networks Switched Internetworking
Services (BaySIS) operating in the ASN provides
features for today's evolving internetworks with
migration to the future of switched intra- and
internetworking.
- Ensures
Network Availability
- Enhances
Network Performance
- Extends
Network Connectivity
- Simplifies
Network Administration
- Provides
Low Cost of Ownership
The
Nortel Networks Access Stack Node (ASN*) is a
stackable router architecture providing cost-effective
solutions for enterprise network centers. The
ASN provides seamless integration of multiple
ASN units stacked together and managed as a single
router. Adding interfaces beyond a unit's capacity
does not require replacing routers or adding complexity
to the network. An ASN stack supports up to 200,000
packets per second with up to 48 network interfaces.
The ASN router supports all major network and
bridging protocols, wide area services, and IBM
standards. Its fault-resilient system software
ensures high network availability. Its LAN and
WAN interfaces meet connectivity needs for remote
and campus offices, and its data compression coprocessor
provides compression over all WAN interfaces,
reducing the number of circuits required to meet
network bandwidth needs.
The ASN satisfies connectivity, performance, and
availability requirements ranging from workgroup
or remote site access to high performance, highly
available network centers.
