DES-7200-CM1

Flexible Modular Design

The DES-7200 series is available in two models:

the DES-7206 6-slot chassis with 4 open slots, and

the DES-7210 10-slot chassis with 8 open slots.

The open slots can be fitted with user-selectable

port modules. In addition to the open slots, 2

slots are reserved for redundant backup control

modules, 2 slots for redundant backup power

supplies, and slots for replaceable fan modules.

This modular architecture allows modules to be

gradually added to meet network growth, and

modules to be easily swapped anytime to fit

network requirement change.

Deployable as Core or Distribution Switch

Using a common set of modules for 10/100/

1000BASE-T ports, PoE support, SFP and 10-

Gigabit uplinks, IT personnel can fit a DES-7200

switch with different port types and deploy it

either as a core switch or an aggregation (i.e.

distribution) switch. A DES-7200 core switch

provides numerous high-speed fiber backbones

for a campus and central office network, while

a DES-7200 aggregation switch can provide high

port density connections to workstations in an

office environment, or to subscribers’ CPE in a

densely populated Ethernet metro area network.

High Availability

Both the DES-7206 and the DES-7210 provides 2

slots for installation of control modules. Each control

module is equipped with its own switch fabric

hardware and management agent, and can be used

for redundant backup and sharing of network traffic

load and management tasks. Adding to this feature

are 2 redundant backup power supplies and hot

swappable fan module to create very highly available

chassis-based devices suitable for mission-critical

network applications.

High Performance

The DES-7206 6-slot switch provides, a switch

capacity of up to 192Gbps and a system performance

of up to 142Mpps. The DES-7210 10-slot switch

provides, a switch capacity of up to 384Gbps and

system performance of up to 286Mpps. To make

use of this high-performance hardware, these

switches utilize a distribution switching method

which has each line card (the port module that

directly connects to the network nodes) intelligently

determine the switch path for each data packet.

The switches synchronize the switching and routing

information between the control cards and the line

cards to map out the fastest data transfer

path. With each line card capable of performing

L2/3/4 on-board packet switching without relying on

the control cards, the DES-7200 switches can deliver

very fast packet forwarding at almost zero-wait

speed.

High Port Densities

Port densities can reach 192 Gigabit or 16 10-Gigabit

ports per 6-slot chassis, or 384 Gigabit or 32 10-

Gigabit ports per 10-slot chassis. All port modules are

hot-swappable, and can be used for in either chassis

type without the need to change any hardware or

software settings.

Application Convergence

The DES-7200 combines high-speed hardware with

software functions like prioritized traffic QoS and

multicast routing to deliver the performance suitable

for real-time applications such as Internet phone,

streaming multimedia and TV. In addition, these

switches offer Power over Ethernet (PoE) solutions

to provide both electrical power and network

connectivity to PoE-capable devices, such as IP

phones and wireless AP, and are ideal for large-scale

enterprise edge deployment. An example of this

application convergence would be VoIP for mobile

users via wireless access points connected through

the DES-7200 switches.
