The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 3500 is a series of eight high-

performance compact Ethernet switches specifically designed for Mid-

Market, SMEs, branches and open environments outside the wiring closet.

A cost-effective, feature-rich solution, the ERS 3500 Series provides both

standalone and stackable Ethernet switching perfectly suited to the unique

requirements of Mid-Market and SME customers, as well as enterprise

branch offices.

The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch

3500 is a reliable, low-cost solution that

provides converged services within

single or multiple sites typically of 300

users or less.

It offers three models which can operate

in fanless mode to provide silent

operation for classrooms, hospitality

suites, retail sites or other noise sensitive

environments – outside of the wiring

closet.

It also supports IEEE 802 .3at Power-

over- Ethernet Plus (PoE+) which can

power IP Phones, Wireless Access

Points, surveillance cameras and other

devices. PoE+ with its 32-watt power

budget ensures investment protection

for current as well as future high-

powered end-points.

For environments that need upside

capacity, all ERS 3500 24-port and

48-port models support Avaya’s

Stackable Chassis architecture. This

allows up to eight ERS 3500 units to be

cabled together to form a single logical

chassis with up to 384 user ports and 80

Gigabits of virtual backplane capacity.

The ERS 3500 Stackable Chassis

architecture can also improve network

availability and resiliency through hot-

swap and link aggregation capabilities

across the system.

Delivering high performance Layer 2

switching, Layer 3 local and static

routing, advanced convergence and a

range of security features, the ERS 3500

provides enterprise class features at an

SME price. It also can automate many of

today’s manual processes to simplify

operations and reduce costs for the cost

conscious enterprise.

Certified 1-minute plug-and­play for IP Phones

Plug-and-play means that as soon as

an IP Phone is plugged into an Avaya

Ethernet Switch, the IP Phone is

automatically recognized and

configured. This feature can

dramatically simplify the roll out of IP

Phones and simplify ongoing adds,

moves and changes; empowering

employees to move their own phones

without the assistance of an outside

contractor. To enable this plug-and-

play capability, Avaya offers IEEE

802.1AB Link Layer Discovery

Protocol and LLDP-Media Endpoint

Discovery (LLDP-MED) as well as the

Avaya Auto Discovery and Auto

Configuration (ADAC) feature.

With LLDP enabled, the ERS 3500

learns the identification of

neighboring devices and provides

these details to the network

management system. This enables the

system to have the most up-to-date

physical view of the network. In

addition, ERS 3500 can dynamically

apply voice VLANs and QoS to both

the IP Phone and the attached Edge

Switch port. When the IP Phone is

moved to another location, the

configuration is automatically

updated. QoS is also automatically

provisioned on the ERS 3500 uplink

ensuring voice is given top priority

into the Core. With one of the most

comprehensive implementations of

LLDP in the industry, Avaya offers

enhancements for standards based

provisioning of Avaya IP Phones via

integrated and customizable TLV

support.

and requires little to no formal

training for individuals with

networking backgrounds.

• For customers who are looking for a

simple Graphical User Interface

(GUI) for management and

provisioning, Avaya’s Enterprise

Device Manager (EDM) is an

embedded web-based element

management and configuration tool

that enables set-up, configuration

and monitoring of a single device

using either HTTP or HTTPS (Secure

Web). The on-box embedded

version of EDM is available at no

extra charge with every switch and

can be accessed by a standard web

browser. There is also an off-box

version available as a free

downloadable software plug-in that

can be installed on Avaya’s

Configuration and Orchestration

Manager (COM) application.

The Avaya ERS 3500 supports secure

management via IPv4 or IPv6 through

features such as Secure Shell

(SSHv1/2), Secure Sockets Layer

(SSL), Simple Network Management

Protocol (SNMPv1,2,3), IP Manager

Lists, and administrative

authentication via RADIUS or

TACACS+ when connecting to the

switch or stack.

Convergence-ready
for Unified
Communications,
High-Definition Video
and more

For businesses looking to consolidate

all forms of communication – voice,

video and data – on a single

infrastructure, the Avaya ERS 3500

Series delivers functionality that

simplifies convergence of these

technologies.

These features not only save network

operators time, they can virtually

eliminate the likelihood of a

provisioning error during a large IP

Phone deployment. Third-party

testing conducted by Miercom1

validated that when IP Phones were

plugged into an Avaya Ethernet

Switch, they were operational in just

over 1 minute.

Intuitive Management

ERS 3500 Series offers flexible

options for managing,

troubleshooting and operating your

devices.

• For customers more comfortable

using the Command Line Interface

(CLI), the ERS 3500 offers an

industry-aligned CLI that is intuitive

• For customers rolling out many ERS

3500 devices, the Avaya

Configuration and Orchestration

Manager (COM) application,

simplifies multi-element

configuration via wizards and

templates – increasing consistency

and reducing the chances of error

during configuration changes. COM

also provides network discovery,

device backup, bulk configuration

management and audits of

configuration changes.

• SNMP-based management (SNMP

v1, v2 and v3) provides an

alternative standards-based

management approach as well as an

interface for Configuration and

Orchestration Manager.

Support for IEEE 802.3at PoE+
to power your Converged
Device

Through support for IEEE 802.3at

PoE+ which delivers up to 32 Watts of

power per port to end-devices, ERS

3500s are able to power IP Phones,

Wireless LAN Access Points,

networked high-definition CCTV

cameras and other devices. This

eliminates the need for separate

power supplies for each unit, enabling

reduced cabling and management

costs for adds, moves, or changes.

The higher power budget delivered

by the PoE+ standard ensures that

customers have the added flexibility

of converging video surveillance

traffic over the network, since pan, tilt

avaya.com | 3

and zoom cameras are one of the end

devices that require the additional

power provided by PoE+. It also

ensures investment protection for

future end points, such as new

Wireless LAN Access Points (3x3

802.11n Access Points and emerging

802.11ac Access Points) as well as

next-generation video phones.

The 24-port and 48-port PoE+

enabled products (ERS 3526T-PWR+,

ERS 3550T-PWR+, 3524GT-PWR+

and ERS 3549GTS-PWR+) support a

maximum power budget of 370

Watts. And the 10-port Gigabit

Ethernet model (ERS 3510-PWR+)

supports a maximum power budget

of 170 Watts – dramatically higher

than competitive switches in its

class – enabling it to deliver a

concurrent average of 20 Watts of

power to each of the eight PoE+

enabled access ports.

Comprehensive QoS
capabilities

The ERS 3500 series delivers

unsurpassed control for networks

supporting a wide range of different

application types. The ERS 3500

classifies, prioritizes and marks LAN

IP traffic using up to four hardware

queues on every port – including the

rear SFP ports.

Classification can be based on MAC

address, IP ToS/DSCP marking, IP

source/destination address or

subnets, TCP/UDP source/destination

port/port range, IEEE 802.1p user

priority bits, ingress source port, IP

Protocol ID (e.g., TCP, UDP, IGMP),

EtherType (e.g., IP, IPX) or the IEEE

802.1Q VLAN ID. Comprehensive

Intelligent stacking
solution delivering
scalability, flexibility,
resilience and
performance

No one knows

stacking like

Avaya . We

introduced our

first Stackable

Chassis

product in 1998 and have been

perfecting the technology ever since.

We were the first and only vendor to

break the Terabit boundary with our

ERS 5600 Series products and we

have differentiated ourselves in the

industry by ensuring that our

Stackable Chassis perform like a

traditional modular chassis

implementation. We offer genuine

chassis-like features including true

pay-as-you-grow scaling and in

service maintenance and restoration.

From a management perspective, our

Stackable Chassis looks like a single

network entity – utilizing only a single

IP address.

Up to eight ERS 3500 units can be

stacked – combining 24 or 48-port

models – to deliver up to 80Gbps

stacking throughput and up to 384 x

10/100/1000 user ports. Stacking is

supported on ERS 3526T/3526T-

PWR+, ERS 3550T/3550T-PWR+, ERS

3524GT/3524GT-PWR+ and ERS

3549 GTS/3549 GTS-PWR+ models.

High performance architecture
with true pay-as-you grow
scaling

Our Stackable Chassis products

combine non-blocking internal

switching fabrics with high-speed

virtual backplane architecture for a

4 | avaya.com

high performance solution that scales

proportionally as new switches are

added. The ERS 3500 series scales to

a maximum of 80Gbps of virtual

backplane throughput by simply

cabling up 8 units together. Avaya’s

Stackable Chassis architecture

simplifies stack management.

Customers do not have to worry

about different software versions on

different products, since all ERS 3500

units run the same software image.

The software image is loaded onto

the base unit of the stack which then

loads the image to all the other

Switches in the stack. As new units

are added to the stack, the ERS 3500

automates the software image and

configuration download process.

Third party testing1 has validated that

new ERS 3500 units can become

operational in just over 2 minutes of

being cabled into the stack.

To ensure wire-speed performance,

our Stackable Chassis architecture is

based on a shortest-path forwarding

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 Quality-of-Service settings are

honored as traffic passes over the

stacking connections – providing

applications with optimal

performance, and a positive user

experience.

All ERS 3500 24 and 48-port 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

provide full virtual chassis resiliency

and to protect against any stack port,

Switch unit or cable failures.

Unlike competitive solutions which

charge large premiums for stacking,

the ERS 3500 offers the ability for

customers to utilize its Stackable

Chassis architecture without incurring

any licensing or hardware costs.

In-service maintenance and
restoration

Virtual hot swap, a critical

serviceability and operability

capability, helps ensure that failure in

any stacked unit is quickly and easily

rectified. Pioneered in modular

switches, virtual hot swap is available

in Avaya Stackable Chassis solutions

where, without complex engineering,

it enables immediate like-for-like unit

replacement with no impact on other

functionality and traffic, empowering

operators to deploy our solutions just

as they would a chassis. If a failure

occurs, neighboring switches

automatically wrap their fabric

connections to help ensure that other

Switches in the stack are not

impacted. The failed unit is simply

disconnected from the fabric and,

without pre-staging of software or

configuration, a like unit is inserted,

cabled, and powered-up. The

Automatic Unit Replacement (AUR)

process self-manages the software

and configuration downloads to the

new Switch then brings it online,

without the need for an engineer to

manage the process.

Further complementing the Avaya

ERS 3500 solution, Avaya supports

standards-based 802.3ad Link

Aggregation as well as its own 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

stack, delivering higher levels of

resilience in case of link or switch

failure to help ensure that traffic gets

to its destination.

Stack health-check monitoring, a real-

time, at-a-glance view of stack

operational status and health,

further enhances operational and

management simplicity.

Centralized Management

From a management perspective, an

ERS 3500 Stackable Chassis solution

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

device.

Increasing access
security at the Edge

The Ethernet Routing Switch 3500
offers a high level of security with
authenticated network access that
leverages IEEE 802.1X Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) with
multiple extensions including support
for Multi-Host Multi-Authentication
mode (MH MA), Multi-Host Single ­Authentication mode (MHSA),
non EAP device support
(i.e. printers, etc.) and RADIUS
based MAC authentication support.
Up to 32 host devices per switch port
are supported in these modes .

Based on the IEEE 802.1X standard,
EAP limits access to the network
based on user credentials. A user is
required to login to the network using
a username/password; the user
database is maintained on the
authentication server (not the Switch).
Additionally MAC-address based
security limits access to only network­authorized and trusted personnel,
including full tracking of network
connections. Network access is
granted or denied via proper MAC­address identification (up to a
maximum of 448).

When advanced, policy-based and
centralized user/device authentication
is required, the Avaya ERS 3500 can
be used in conjunction with the
innovative Avaya Identity Engines
portfolio solution. This easy-to­deploy, policy-based solution
assigns network access rights and
permissions based on user role, where
the user connects (local or remote)
and how the user connects (wired or
wireless). In this way, each connected
device and user are known and are
governed by device-specific security
policies. For example, based on
their network credentials, an
employee using a corporate
owned device will be granted full
corporate access however, while

using a non-corporate-owned device,
they will be granted limited access.

As the number of employee-owned
devices increases, Identity Engines
can help network operators retain
control by running device health
checks and verifying user and device
credentials. Identity Engines can
enforce network access permission
levels without undue effort on the
part of the IT staff. It can also apply
consistent access and security
policies to all end points – whether
they be wired or wireless.

In addition, the Avaya ERS 3500
offers security features that help
protect against malicious network
attacks. These include increased
protection from snooping of DHCP
services, verification and filtering
of ARP traffic via in-hardware
processing (Dynamic ARP
inspection), restriction of IP traffic to
registered end devices (IP Source
Guard), and control of the flow of
Spanning Tree BPDUs within the
network (BPDU Filtering).

Compact Form Factors
with Flexible
Installation Options

The 10 port ERS 3500 models
(3510GT & 3510GT-PWR+), which are
1U tall, 8.75” wide and 8” and 11” deep
(44.5mm x 220mm x 200mm and
280mm) respectively, can be installed
on a table or shelf using rubber feet
(included), or can be wall mounted
using the wall mount screws and
anchors (also included). Additionally,
optional rack accessory kits are
available allowing the ERS 3510GT
and ERS 3510GT-PWR+ to be
mounted either alone or with two
units side-by-side in a standard
19” rack.

The 24 and 48-port ERS 3500 models
can be installed on a table or shelf or

wall mounted using the included rack
mount brackets mounted at 90
degrees, or in a standard 19”
equipment rack.

Energy Efficiency

New regulations and rising awareness
of the ever-increasing cost of
electrical power keep energy
efficiency top of mind. An innovator
in this area, Avaya has built energy
efficiency into many of its hardware
products. In fact, independent testing
indicates that Avaya LAN Switches,
Call Servers, Gateways, Unified
Messaging Servers and Gigabit IP
Phones are typically more energy
efficient than competitive equipment.
The ERS 3500 is based on highly
efficient power supplies – delivering
over 80% ef ficiency.2 The ERS 350 0
also supports dynamic power
management where each port can
be configured to limit the power
delivered to a device and for power
priority level—low, high, and critical.

The ERS 3500 also supports Avaya
Energy Saver which can further
conserve energy by turning down
port speeds during designated off­peak hours.
