For greater service breadth and network flexibility, the Cisco ME 6524 Ethernet Switch offers the IP
Services license that provides IPv4 feature set, and the Advanced IP Services Software license
that provides MPLS and IPv6 functionality.
The Cisco ME 6524 offers:
●
Optimal Gigabit Ethernet density: With up to 32 Gigabit Ethernet ports, all fiber-based, the
Cisco ME 6524 can aggregate multiple customers who require Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity. The uplink interfaces offer flexible connectivity options by accommodating a
broad range of SFP optics, including coarse wavelength-division multiplexing (CWDM) and
dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) optics.
●
Flexible network deployment options: The switch features highly scalable Layer 2 services
with features such as intelligent 802.1Q tunneling, Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling, and VLAN
Translation. The PFC3C daughter card enables in-hardware MPLS technologies for MPLS
VPNs, and Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS). For service offering facing an increasing
demand for IP address space, hardware-enabled IPv6 protocols provide a scalable and
high-performing end-to-end IP service delivery.
●
Optimal performance and scalability: The Cisco ME 6524 offers high performance CPU for
Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols convergence and stability. The switch features scalable
Layer 2 switching, IP routing and MPLS functionalities in hardware without performance
impact.
●
Increased service availability: The Cisco ME 6524 helps ensure service and network uptime
with its support of Cisco EtherChannel protocols, rapid convergence protocols such as
IEEE 802.1w/802.1s and Flexlink, and gateway load-balancing protocols. In order to
minimize service outage due to a power supply failure, the Cisco ME 6524 can be
configured with redundant DC, AC or a combination of AC and DC power supplies that are
field-replaceable and hot-swappable.
●
Integrated security: The Cisco ME 6524 offers a comprehensive set of security features to
mitigate denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, to restrict the access to the network, and to
safeguard network resources. Port-based and VLAN-based access control lists (ACLs)
restrict the unwanted traffic based on traffic and users; CPU rate limiters and control plane
policing (CoPP) limit the amount of traffic that enters the network; Port Security limits the
number of MAC addresses that can be learned; DHCP Snooping and dynamic ARP
inspection prevent threats from the DHCP server, default gateways, or address spoofing
attacks. These integrated security features are hardware-enabled so they can be enabled
concurrently without jeopardizing the system performance as the traffic level increases.
Applications
The Cisco ME 6524 offers hardware-accelerated VPN services for network segmentation and
branches interconnectivity.
Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs
Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPNs have been widely deployed by enterprise and data center customers to
offer network segmentation and consolidation. VPNs are well suited for applications such as
interbranch connectivity, Internet access, intranets, and extranets.
