1. Introduction

Networks serve an increasingly diverse community of users and connect a wide assortment of devices.
For example, your network may include laptops, mobile phones, office phones, and an explosion of ―bring
your own devices‖ (BYOD). Because network administrators are constantly struggling to manage the
demands on their networks, Avaya developed the Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) solution with
IP Office and Ethernet Switching.

The SME solution is all you need for your entire business infrastructure. This solution is not only easy to
install and maintain, it combines all the strengths of Avaya‘s industry-leading Ethernet Routing Switches
with IP Office. This solution integrates the VoIP and data traffic into one network thus eliminating the
need to maintain separate voice and data networks.

Ethernet Routing Switches are powerful standalone switches, but their stacking capability makes

them future proof. As your needs grow, you can add another switch to the stack. Many ERS
models support Power over Ethernet (PoE) and PoE+ to provide power directly to endpoints over
the Ethernet cable. The innovative Avaya Energy Saver provides added intelligence to reduce
power consumption of the network during non-peak hours.

IP Office combines the reliability of a traditional telephony system with the application advantages

of an IP telephony solution. With IP Office almost any phone can become an office extension.
This enables you to collaborate on conference calls, get detailed reports, use email, and send
text or instant messages.

With the SME solution, you can build a scalable, integrated voice and data network that is energy efficient
and easy to maintain. And as the interoperability testing demonstrated, the ERS switches provide the
benefits of PoE and meet users‘ expectations for quality of service (QoS).

For detailed information about Ethernet Routing Switches, PoE, and IP Office, please refer to the
technical documentation available on the Avaya Web site at http://www.avaya.com/support.

Table 1 – PoE Ethernet Routing Switches

Ethernet Routing Switches (ERS) can operate as standalone units. However, as your network needs
grow, you can create stacks of up to eight units each. Stacking provides management efficiency; you
manage a stack with a single IP address, as a single virtual switch, and software is available as a single
image across all models in the stack. For example, if you create a stack with eight ERS 2550T-PWR
switches, a total of 192 PoE ports is available, each capable of providing data, voice, and power to
devices in your network, and you would manage those ports within a single configuration, as one virtual
switch.

Voice VLAN Integration

Voice VLAN Integration offers a unified concept of Voice VLAN through various applications

(ADAC, EAP and LLDP).

Voice VLAN Integration feature enhances the functionality of ADAC and removed many

limitations which resulted in the Voice VLAN being dynamically allocated.

This now means that any VLAN functions can be assigned to the Voice VLAN, such as Layer 3 or

static port assignments.

802.1AB Integration

802.1AB Integration provides the ability to configure 802.1AB (LLDP) parameters to allow
improved provisioning of Avaya IP handsets

Support for Avaya proprietary 802.1AB (LLDP) TLVs, which include:

802.1AB Defaults

The 802.1AB New Default Parameters feature will change default 802.1AB (LLDP)

parameters to improved day 1 out of the box operation for Voice and UC applications.

The New default values should be the equivalent of:

o Enables the switch to provision the Phone via TLVs rather than DHCP/TFTP method
o Improved provisioning capabilities by allowing the switch to configure: call-server, file-

server, poe-conservation, dot1q-framing

o The switch can report on currently used parameters per port as well as listing the

Phones in-use IP parameters.

o Integrates with Avaya Energy Saver, so that when Energy Saver is activated, the

poe-conservation parameter is dynamically changes to maximum to drive further
power savings.

2.1 ERS 2500 Series

Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 series includes a range of energy-efficient, Fast Ethernet switches
suitable for branch office and entry-level enterprise wiring closet deployments. ERS 2500 Series switches
offer intelligent stacking, virtual hot swap for in-service maintenance and restoration, and include
automatic QoS, Power over Ethernet (PoE), simple IP Phone deployments, and a wide range of flexible
security options.

The ERS 2550T-PWR and 2526T-PWR provide IEEE 802.3af-compliant (PoE, 15.4W) power on half the
ports, and are contained with a RED line surrounding the ports supporting PoE. These switch models
provide power discovery, power management, and power use statistics per port and per switch and do
not support Avaya Energy Saver. ERS2500 PoE model switches only support PoE on the lower­numbered ports, and provide a total PoE budget of 168W per switch.

The ERS 2500 switches optimize power consumption. You can configure each port to a power priority
level of low, high, or critical, limiting the amount of power delivered to non-business-critical devices.

2.2 ERS 3000 Series

The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series are high-performance, compact Ethernet switches
designed for small branch offices (typically 100 users or less). The ERS 3500 includes 10-port and 24­port 10/100/1000BaseT models, and 24-port 10/100BASE-TX models.

The ERS 3510GT-PWR+, 3524GT-PWR+ and 3526T-PWR+ provide IEEE 802.3af-compliant (PoE,

15.4W) or 802.3at-compliant (PoE+, 32W) power on all ports, and are contained with an ORANGE line
surrounding the PoE ports.

ERS3500 PoE+ model switches support the following maximum power budget per switch:

- 3510GT-PWR+, 60Watts maximum in Low power budget mode (fanless operation), or 170W
maximum in High power budget mode (normal fan operation).

- 3524GT-PWR+ and 3526T-PWR+, 370Watts per switch maximum.

When you use ERS 35xx-PWR+ units, you can plug any powered device into a compliant front-panel port
and receive power in that port. ERS3500 series PoE switches do not yet support the Avaya Energy Saver
(AES) feature, but this is planned in a near future release.

The 24-port models will support stacking with the 5.1 release targeted for availability in February 2013.
Stack cables are sold separately to provide resilient stacking capability of up to 8 units in a stack with
software v5.1 running on the 24-port switches.

2.3 ERS 4000 Series

The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4000 Series contains 4500 and 4800 series models and is designed
for enterprise wiring closets and other network edge deployments. This stackable chassis system
provides Layer 2 switching and dynamic Layer 3 routing, convergence features, high performance, and
secure and resilient Ethernet switching connectivity. The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 4500/4800
Series switch models support 10/100 and 10/100/1000 switching and routing, PoE, PoE+, and 10 GbE
uplink options.

The ERS4000 series models designated with ―PWR‖ provide IEEE 802.3af-compliant (PoE, 15.4W), while
models designated with ―PWR+‖ provide both 802.3af (PoE) or 802.3at-compliant (PoE+, 32W) power on
all ports, and are contained within a RED (PoE models) or ORANGE (PoE+ models) line surrounding the
PoE ports.

ERS4000 series PoE model switches support the following maximum power budget per switch:

Table 2 – ERS 4500/4800 PoE/PoE+ power budgets

Note: ERS4500 ―PWR‖ (PoE) models support a Redundant Power Supply 15 (RPS15) connection at the
rear for DC power redundancy, or, for power load sharing which provides additional PoE power if
required. Newer model ERS4500/4800 ―PWR+‖ (PoE+) models use separate pluggable power supply
modules at the rear and do not support RPS15 connection. 300W and 1000W removable power supply
modules are available for these models.

When you use ERS 4500 PWR and 4500/4800 PWR+ units, you can plug any powered device into a
compliant front-panel port and receive power in that port. All ERS 4000 series PoE switches support the
Avaya Energy Saver (AES) feature.
