High performance architecture

with true pay-as-you-grow scaling
Our Stackable Chassis products
combine non-blocking internal
switching fabrics with a high-speed
virtual backplane architecture to
deliver a high performance solution
that scales proportionally as new
switches are added. The ERS 5500
delivers up to 640 Gbps and the ERS
5600 up to 1.152 Tbps of virtual
backplane throughput by simply
cabling together up to 8 units.
Adding a new unit to the Stack
Chassis is as easy as cabling in a new
member then extending the
appropriate configuration. The
necessary software images and the
configuration file are automatically
downloaded to the new unit and then
brought on-line without any user
intervention.

To ensure wire-speed performance,
our Stackable Chassis architecture is
based on a shortest-path algorithm
for optimal data flow across the
stack. Unlike competitive solutions
that use unwieldy logical ring or
token technology, Avaya allows traffic
to flow upstream and downstream
simultaneously from every switch
connected to the virtual backplane,
optimizing performance, resiliency,
and resource utilization. Avaya has an
additional advantage in that we
honor Quality-of-Service settings as
traffic passes over the stacking
connections – optimizing
performance, and providing a
positive end user experience.

All ERS 5000 models come with two
in-built Stackable Chassis interfaces
for simple, cost-effective and efficient
connectivity. Unlike comparative
offerings which daisy chain low-
speed interfaces, this design frees
uplink ports for dedicated
connectivity to the backbone. In
addition to the stacking cables, a
return cable is also used to protect
against any port, unit or cable
failures.

Virtual hot swap capabilities ensure
that a failure in any unit of the
Stackable Chassis is quickly and
easily rectified. Pioneered in modular
switches, virtual hot swap is available
in Avaya’s Stackable Chassis solutions
enabling immediate like-for-like unit
replacement with no impact on
existing traffic or any units. If a failure
occurs, neighboring switches
automatically wrap their fabric
connections to help ensure that other
switches within the Stackable Chassis
are not impacted. The failed unit is
simply disconnected from the virtual
backplane and, without pre-staging
of software or configuration, a like-
for-like unit is inserted, cabled, and
powered-up. The Automatic Unit
Replacement (AUR) process self-
manages software and configuration
downloads to the new switch then
brings it online, without the need for
an engineer to configure or manage
the process.

Further complementing the Stackable
Chassis architecture, the Avaya ERS
5000 Series supports standards-
based 802.3ad Link Aggregation, as
well as its own Switch Multi-Link
Trunking technology that allows
grouping of ports to form high-speed
trunks/aggregations. These bundles
or groups of ports can be distributed
across different units in the same
Stackable Chassis and traffic can be
load balanced across ports. Sub-
second failover across these ports
further enhances the overall resiliency
of the stack solution.

Centralized management
From a management perspective, our
Stackable Chassis appears as a single
networking entity – utilizing only a
single IP Address. This can
significantly reduce the number of
switches to be managed within the
network as a stack of up to 8 switches
can be managed just as easily as a
single switch. Distributed real-time
monitoring of the Stackable Chassis
also provides an at-a-glance view of
operational status and health which

All Ethernet Routing Switch 5000
models use the same software image,
irrespective of model type. The image
needs to be loaded only to the base
unit of the Stackable Chassis which
automatically loads it to other
switches.

This
allows customers to create the best
mix of ports based on their specific
requirements. The ERS 5000 Series
can scale up to 8 units and 400 ports.
ERS 5500 models feature a stacking
capacity of 80 Gbps per switch and
up to 640 Gbps for a full stack. ERS
5600 models offer an enhanced
stacking capacity of 144 Gbps per
switch and 1.152 Terabits of virtual
backplane bandwidth. When an ERS
5600 is connected to an adjacent
ERS 5500 in the stack, it
automatically adjusts to the ERS
5500’s stacking bandwidth of 80
Gbps. This allows mix and match port
configuration based on operational
needs, while preserving ERS 5500
investments.
