Benefits

Future proof architecture

As the flagship of ZyXEL’s MSAN product portfolio, the IES-6000 Series is equipped with

non-blocking Gigabit backplane, failover-enabled Management Switch Cards (MSC), dual input

power modules and various high-port density multi-purpose line cards. With comprehensive

IP-centric firmware features, the IES-6000 Series is a high-capacity system that facilitates

telcos/ISPs to deliver high-quality residential or business user services experience at competitive

CAPEX/OPEX as well as satisfying its current and future infrastructural requirements of reliability,

flexibility and scalability.

Easy & reused logistics

The IES-6000 Series is a 12.5 U-height, 17-slot chassis-based multi-service access node capable of

adopting the same line cards as those for IES-5000/IES-5005 systems. The MSC1024G Management

Switch Card with eight 1G uplinks is designed to plug into slot 8 and/or slot 9, while the remaining

slots are available for equipping various line cards. The MSC1224G Management Switch Card is

with two 10G and six 1G Ethernet uplinks to support even higher bandwidth requirement. Both

the new-generation MSC, MSC1024GB & MSC1224GB, share the same attributes of their

predecessors and are IPv6 hardware ready. The variety of line cards are including 48-port or

72-port ADSL2+ line cards that provide subscribers with asymmetric transmission bandwidth up

to 25 Mbps/2.4 Mbps; 48-port SHDSL.bis line cards with symmetric transmission bandwidth of 5.69

Mbps per port; 24-port and 48-port VDSL2 line cards that offer up profile 30a (100/100 Mbps)

high-speed connectivity per port over copper wires; 72-port or 48-port VoIP line card that supports

either H.248 or SIP protocol, 20-port fiber-based Fast Ethernet line card that supports 100 Mbps

transmission speed per port and 8-port E1 IMA card.

Advanced Triple Play and mass deployment functionality

The IES-6000 Series inherits all the Layer 2 and Layer 3 QoS, security and multicast functionalities

from the IES-5000/IES-5005, while the following new features are added to satisfy the

requirements for massive field deployments: (1) IP bridge functionality that alleviates the Layer 2

access network deployment restrictions resulted from MAC address table limitation and security

attack issues; (2) ARP Proxy which minimizes the ARP broadcast requests to all subscribers; (3)

TACACS+ mechanism to support remote authentication with TACACS+ servers; (4) VLAN-aware

DHCP snooping which adds VLAN information into DHCP snooping tables; (5) DHCP option 82

sub-option 2 for providing remote client ID information to DHCP servers for flexible IP address

assignment. (6) Cluster management feature that is able to reduce the OPEX of multiple MSAN

maintenance.

Robust physical safety design

The IES-6000 Series supports 1+1 MSC redundancy with a failover switching time less than 1 second. In addition, voltage, temperature and fan speed sensors

are fitted into the system. When an abnormal condition is detected, the LED displays and/or the corresponding alarms will alert administrators of the situation.

In case the system temperature rises over the preset threshold, thermal cutoff protection will kick in to shut down the system automatically.

Sophisticated OAM&P features

The IES-6000 Series provides various management methods: local console port, Web-based configuration, Telnet and SNMP v1/v2/v3-based EMS (NetAtlas

Access). The management functions include Alarm and Status Surveillance, Configuration Management, Performance Management and Fault Management.

The IES-6000 Series allows multiple administrative accounts with 3-level access privileges. Accounts with the first-level privilege have full access to all

management objects on the Management Information Base (MIB). Second-level accounts have similar access rights except creating new administrative

accounts, while the third-level accounts are granted read-only access rights to the MIB objects. NetAtlas Access EMS also provides view-based MIB

management that partial MIB objects can be defined and accessed for customization and security reasons. In addition, Cluster Management enables multiple

MSAN administration with single/master IP address, XML-based northbound interface is equipped to interoperate with external OSS systems.
