Ethernet Switch
Key Features and Benefits
www.edge-core.com
The Edge-Core ES4524C, 
ES4548C are Gigabit Ethernet 
Layer 2/4 Standalone switches 
featuring 24 or 48 ports; 20 or 44 
RJ-45 10/100/1000 ports and 4 
combo Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45/SFP 
ports. They are ideal for high 
performance server aggregations, 
such as enterprise data centers, to 
connect high-end or network 
attached file servers over copper 
ports. High speed workgroups 
backbone upgrades, and Gigabit to 
the desktop for power users. This 
switch series offers the maximum 
bandwidth performance with up to 
10 times the speed of 100Mb 
switches. Protect you investment 
while preparing for future growth. 
Product Overview
Performance and Scalability
With 48Gbps, 96Gbps switching capacity, 
the ES4524C/ES4548C delivers wire-speed 
switching performance on all gigabit ports, 
allowing users to take full advantage of 
existing high-performance, gigabit integrated 
Servers, PCs and laptops by significantly 
improving the responsiveness of applications 
and file transfer times.
There are four Gigabit Ethernet combo ports 
for uplink flexibility, allowing copper or fiber 
uplinks. 
Continuous Availability
IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol 
provides a loop-free network and redundant 
links to the core network with rapid 
convergence, to ensure faster recovery from 
failed links, enhancing overall network 
stability and reliability.
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree 
Protocol runs STP per VLAN base, providing 
Layer 2 load sharing on redundant links.
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control 
Protocol (LACP) increases bandwidth by 
automatically aggregating several physical 
links together as a logical trunk and providing 
load balancing and fault tolerance for uplink 
connections.
IGMP snooping prevents flooding of IP 
multicast traffic and limits bandwidth 
intensive video traffic to only the subscribers.
Broadcast Storm Control prevents faulty end 
stations from degrading overall system 
performance.
Optional Redundant Power Supply provides 
uninterrupted power. 
Comprehensive QoS
8 egress queues per port enable 
differentiated management of up to 8 traffic 
types.
Traffic is prioritized according to 802.1p, 
DSCP, IP precedence and TCP/UDP port 
number, giving optimal performance to real-
time applications such as voice and video. 
Asymmetric bidirectional rate-limiting, per 
port or per traffic class, preserves network 
bandwidth and allowing maximum control of 
network resources.
Enhanced Security
Port Security ensures access to switch ports 
based on MAC address, limits the total 
number of devices from using a switch port 
and protects against MAC flooding attacks.
IEEE 802.1X port-based access control 
ensures all users are authorized before 
being granted access to the network. User 
authentication is carried out using any 
standard-based RADIUS server. 
Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to 
restrict access to sensitive network 
resources by denying packets based on 
source and destination MAC addresses, IP 
addresses, TCP/UDP ports. This is done by 
hardware, so switching performance is not 
compromised.
Security Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets 
Layer (SSL/HTTPS) encrypt network 
management information via Telnet and web, 
providing secure network management. 
TACACS+/RADIUS Authentication enables 
centralized control of the switch and restricts 
unauthorized users from altering the 
configuration of the switch.
Private VLAN isolates edge ports to ensure 
user privacy. 
Simple Management
Industry standard Command Line Interface 
(CLI) via console port or Telnet provides a 
common user interface and command set for 
users to manipulate the switch.
Embedded user friendly web interface helps 
users quickly and simply configure switches. 
Four groups of RMON are supported for 
traffic management, monitoring and analysis.
When upgrading firmware or fine tuning 
configuration, the dual software images and 
multiple configuration files can be used for 
backup.
TFTP can be used to backup or restore 
firmware and configuration files.
