Carrier Switches Solution Scenario

Services Provider Networks

Competitive and customer pressure now compel you to offer unique, In order to satisfy home and commercial subscribers with Triple-

Play services incorporating astounding voice, video and data delivery, ZyXEL solutions help customers to offer responsive, rich and

personalized online experience for ubiquitous connectivity and therefore more revenue.

MEF9 & MEF14 Certified

(EPL, EVPL and E-LAN)

The ZyXEL MES-3728 (RoHS compliant; green
product) L2 Ethernet switch offers Layer 2 switching.
With non-blocking 12.8 Gbps switching fabric.

MGS-3712/MGS-3712F

Metro Managed Layer 2
Gigabit Ethernet Switch

MEF9 & MEF14 Certified

(EPL, EVPL and E-LAN)

The ZyXEL MGS-3712 and MGS-3712F L2 Gigabit
Ethernet switches offer Layer 2 switching capability
in a smart enclosure. With non-blocking 24 Gbps
switching fabric, the MGS-3712 and MGS-3712F
feature 8 GbE copper ports (8 port GbE SFP on
MGS-3712F) and 4 dual-personality GbE (GbE SFP +
1000BASE-T) ports.

Optimized Design for Cabinet

The cabinet switch solution (MES-3728, MGS-3712, and MGS-3712F)
is the ZyXEL’s Metro Ethernet Switch that offers high operating
temperature tolerance, flexible AC/DC dual-input power source as well
as protection against humidity and dust for service providers to extend
their networks. The cabinet switches adopt the “front access” design,
technicians can easily wire and maintain outdoor cabinets; the external
alarm input/output block connects mechanical cabinet parts to the
management networks and offers higher protection to the equipment.

Advanced QoS for Significant Service

A consistency service quality and reliable connecting ability in a
converged network is the key for service providers to trust customer
and build customer loyalty. Therefore, the ability to control traffic flow
and set traffic policy becomes increasing critical. The cabinet switch
solution offers wire-speed flow control which can classify, policy, and
prioritize the incoming packets according to predefine QoS policies
which can meet service provider’s requirements. In classification,
Differentiated Services Code Point field (DSCP) and the 802.1p class
of service (CoS) field are identified to assess the priority of incoming
packets. Classification and reclassification can be based on criteria as
specific as rule-based on IP, MAC addresses, VLAN ID, TCP/UDP port
number. Moreover, for bandwidth management, the cabinet switch
solution provide 8 priority queues per port for different types of traffics,
allowing service provider to set rule-based rate limiting which takes
full advantage of limited network resources and guarantees the best
performance.

Enhanced Security Help Create Protection among Customers

MGS-3712

MGS-3712F

Avoiding subscribers affecting each other in a shared network or
shared device is a major concern for service providers. The cabinet
switch solution offers complete set of security to protect user’s data
and administrative traffic. The intrusion lock function detects the
“plugged” and “unplugged” status change of Ethernet cables, and the
switch will deactivate the port automatically if needed. The 802.1x
authentication can secure the network from unauthorized users. Port
security provides the ability to deny unauthorized users from accessing
the network. Moreover, Cooperating with RADIUS, 802.1x is useful to
prevent unauthorized access based on username and password (or
other credentials) and acts as powerful access control for convergent
networks with mixed wired and wireless access.

Furthermore, the cabinet switch solution provides multilayer (L2/
L3/L4) ACLs suite of sophisticated rule-based control mechanisms,
enabling service provider easily deployed, based on realistic network
environments via a Web GUI or command line to prevent abnormal and
illegal access. The rules can be defined to deny packets based on source
and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, or TCP/UDP ports.
