For seamless scalability, the Ethernet 
Routing Switch 4500 can deliver up to 
384 ports, meeting almost any wiring 
closet requirements of scalability and port 
speed flexibility, allowing the network 
infrastructure to grow as the business 
requirements change.
Securing access at the Edge
The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 offers 
a wide range of flexible security options 
to ensure that only authorized personnel 
gain access to a company’s LAN. 
Whether it is through use of an IEEE 
802.1X-based EAP Client or through 
a device’s MAC Address, network 
managers can validate that only those 
who have successfully been authenticated 
have access to specified resources. The 
ERS 4500 can also be used in conjunc-
tion with Nortel’s innovative Secure 
Network Access solution for advanced 
policy-based and centralized user/device 
authentication. 
For further flexibility, the Ethernet 
Routing Switch 4500 can support the 
authentication of multiple devices/
Users on a single port. For example, if 
a User’s PC connects into the network 
via an IP Phone (Figure 1), the PC and 
the IP Phone can both be independently 
authenticated on that port. Additionally, 
if your company frequently has visiting 
users, support for a Guest VLAN allows 
these non-authenticated users to still 
use the network but to only have access 
to those resources that have been pre-
defined for the Guests, such as Internet 
access.
Advanced security services also enable the 
Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 to actively 
protect the network against malicious 
network attacks by protecting DHCP 
services (DHCP Snooping), verifying 
and filtering ARP traffic via in-hardware 
processing (Dynamic ARP inspection), 
restricting IP traffic to registered end 
devices (IP Source Guard) as well as 
controlling the flow of Spanning Tree 
BPDUs within the network (BPDU 
Filtering). 
The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 
supports advanced packet classification 
and deep packet filtering of up to 128 
bytes. These powerful filtering capabili-
ties can block unwanted network traffic 
while ensuring that mission-critical traffic 
is forwarded with minimum delay.
Secure and simplified  
network management
Nortel’s Ethernet Switch Software is 
supported on all Ethernet Routing 
Switch 4500 models delivering simplified 
network operations and management 
by having a single image operate on any 
mixture of models in a Stack. This elimi-
nates the need to worry about different 
software versions and capabilities on 
different products. The software image 
needs only to be loaded to the Base Unit 
of the Stack, which automatically loads 
it to other Switches. Even as Switches are 
added to an existing Stack, the ERS 4500 
software will ensure that the new Switch 
diagnostics and software are appropri-
ately upgraded to the software running 
on the Stack.
The on-board USB port enables 
network administrators to quickly and 
easily upload or download a configura-
tion file via a USB stick. This allows 
the same configuration to either be 
deployed across several Switches, making 
configuration of new Switches seamless 
or serving as a backup in case a Switch 
were to fail. The USB port also allows 
for quick upload of new software images 
or quick staging of new units through 
3
a simplified configuration capability. 
For added security, both the USB and 
consoles ports can be locked to prevent 
unauthorized intrusion.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 
supports secure management through 
access control lists, Simple Network 
Management Protocol (SNMPv3), 
Secure Shell (SSHv2), and RADIUS 
and TACACS+ authentication when 
connecting to the switch or stack.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 
can be managed through Nortel’s 
Command Line Interface (NNCLI), 
which provides a common industry look 
and feel to CLI commands, helping to 
reduce training and operational costs. 
The ERS 4500 also provides GUI-based 
management via its Device Manager 
application and web-based interfaces  
for ease of use.
Redundant power support
Adding Nortel’s Redundant Power 
Supply 15 (RPS15) ensures that the 
Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 delivers 
the stable, redundant power support 
crucial for today’s high-availability, 
mission-critical environments. The 
RPS15 Chassis can support up to three 
600 Watt Power Supply Modules. Each 
Module can provide redundant power 
support to one ERS 4500 PoE Switch  
or up to four non-PoE models

.
Deployments in converged networks 
are greatly simplified through dynamic 
power management of the PoE ports, 
with the load sharing and redundant 
power offered by Nortel’s RPS15. 
Combined, these features are designed
