All switches include built-in Hi-Stack stacking ports that can deliver up to 320 Gbps performance, plus redundant power support. Additionally, each model can be stacked in any combination with other Ethernet Routing
Switch 4500 models to form a stack up to eight units high
—
enabling you to choose port configurations based
on your unique requirements.
Nortel Ethernet Routing

tivity supporting up to 400
user ports
• Resilience through fail-safe
stacking, distributed trunking
and power redundancy
• Flexible mix-and-match stacking
capabilities to best meet
customers requirements

Through support for standards-based
Power over Ethernet (IEEE 802.3af
PoE), power can be delivered to IPbased phones, which eliminates the
need to have a separate power supply for
each phone, thus reducing cabling and
management costs when there are adds,
moves or changes. Additionally, through
the ability to auto-discover Nortel IP
handsets, the Ethernet Routing Switch
4500 can automatically configure the
switch port to which the phone is
connected. This ensures that the right
quality of service (QoS) and VLAN
settings are applied, making mass phone
deployments quick and easy.
Intelligent stacking solution
delivering scalability,
flexibility, resilience
and performance
The creation of a stack through Nortel’s
intelligent stacking architecture is made
flexible by being able to stack up to
eight models within the Ethernet
Routing Switch 4500 family together.
This is an ideal solution for enterprises
with Fast Ethernet, Gigabit users or a
combination of both. As a single stacked
entity, all switches are managed via a
single IP address and offer the same
high resiliency and common feature set,
simplifying management and deployment across the network.
Nortel’s Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
Series combines high resiliency with
high-performance stacking, delivering
up to 320-Gbps throughput. Intelligent
bi-directional traffic flows between
switches ensure that the highest performance and most efficient paths are used
for traffic flows. Added to this, the
ability to distribute trunks or aggregations across different units in the stack
ensures that even in the unlikely event of
a switch or link failure, traffic continues
to flow virtually uninterrupted for the
remaining units in the stack.
For seamless scalability, the Ethernet
Routing Switch 4500 Series can deliver
up to 400 ports, meeting almost any
customer’s 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 high levels of flexible security
options, ensuring 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 ensure that
only those who have successfully been
authenticated have access to their specified resources. Through the use of
Nortel’s Secure Network Access solution, the Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
can not only provide user/device authentication, but can enforce endpoint security via advanced posture assessment
capabilities.
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
handset (Figure 1), the PC and the IP
Phone can be authenticated for authorized use to that port. Additionally, if
your company frequently has visitors,
support for a Guest VLAN allows nonauthenticated users to still use the
network but to only have access to
those resources that have been prespecified for the Guest VLAN, such
as Internet access.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500’s
advanced capabilities enable the switches
to actively protect the network against
malicious network attacks by protecting
DHCP services, verifying and filtering
ARP traffic via in hardware processing
as well as controlling the flow of spanning tree BPDUs within the network.
The powerful filtering capabilities of
the Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
that are often used for Quality of
Service to ensure mission-critical traffic
is prioritized can also be used to block
certain types of network traffic with
support for advanced packet classification and deep packet filtering up to
128 bytes into a packet.
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 eliminates 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 Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
Series will ensure that the new switch
software is appropriately upgraded to
the software running on the stack.
The on-board USB port enables
network administrators to quickly and
easily upload or download a configuration file onto a USB stick, thus allowing
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
Figure 1. Converged connectivity
Figure 2. Converged connectivity

were to fail. The USB port also allows
for quick upload of new software images
or quick staging of new units through a
simplified configuration capability.
Nortel’s Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
supports robust switch management
security with the support of management
access control lists, Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMPv3),
Secure Shell (SSHv2) and RADIUS
authentication for management
connection to the switch or stack.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 Series
is managed through Nortel’s enterpriseclass Command Line Interface (NNCLI).
The NNCLI provides a common
industry look and feel to CLI commands,
helping to reduce training and operational costs. Additionally, use of either
the Java Device Manager tool or the
web-based user interface makes managing the Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
simple through a graphical management
interface.
Redundant power support
With connectivity to Nortel’s Redundant Power Supply (RPS15), the
Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 delivers
the redundant power support that
is crucial in today’s mission-critical
environments. The RPS15 chassis can
support up to three 600-watt power
supply modules. Each power module
can provide redundant power support
to one Ethernet Routing Switch 4500
PWR model or up to four Ethernet
Routing Switch 4500 non-PWR
switches.*
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
to ensure that devices requiring PoE can
be added to the network without power
ever becoming an issue.
Lifetime warranty
All 4500 switches offer a lifetime
warranty. A Nortel product hardware
warranty is supported for as long as the
original end user continues to own or
use the product, including fan and
power supply. In the event of a discontinuance of product manufacture, the
Nortel warranty support is limited to
five (5) years from the announcement
of discontinuance.
Summary
With more than 100 years in telecommunications, Nortel is uniquely positioned to provide an end-to-end
solution for your converged network.
Let us show you how the Ethernet
Routing Switch 4500 family, along with
other Nortel products, can increase your
profitability, streamline your business
operations, increase productivity and
help you gain a competitive edge.
* A DC cable connector cable is required to connect from an Ethernet Routing Switch 4500 to an RPS15
power supply; for non-PoE models, a DC-DC converter is also required.
