Alcatel-Lucent CBX 3500 User Manual

Meeting today’s demanding requirements for the multiservice edge, the Alcatel-Lucent CBX 3500™ Multi ­service Edge Switch maximizes the profitability of ATM, frame relay and private-line services while adding
new Ethernet/IP services and converging multiple services for transport over an MPLS core. This scalable,
flexible switching system delivers high-performance services with field-proven, carrier-grade reliability and
availability. The Alcatel-Lucent CBX 3500 Multiservice Edge Switch optimizes core Layer-2 multiservice net ­works with increased port densities, standards-based interworking, universal I/O modules, and module
sharing with the Alcatel-Lucent CBX 500

®

Multiservice WAN Switch.

FEATURES

• Industry-leading port densities and
low price per port

• Multiservice (frame relay, ATM,
IP/MPLS, Ethernet) interfaces
ranging from channelized DS0 to
OC-48c/STM-16c

• Universal I/O modules

• Fully redundant hardware, control
and power components

• 1+1 APS or 1:N redundancy
protection

• Non-service-impacting software
upgrades

• Module sharing with the Alcatel­Lucent CBX 500 Multiservice WAN
Switch

• Hot-swappable components

BENEFITS

• Enables the cost-effective growth of
existing services

• Allows providers to add new services
in an easy and managed manner

• Allows stringent SLAs by enforcing
and preserving quality of service
(QoS) for converged multiservice
traffic

• Enables the delivery of all services
with unprecedented field-proven,
carrier-grade reliability and avail ­ability while dramatically reducing
costs

• Simplifies network management and
reduces operating costs
