Nortel’s Ethernet Routing Switch 5500
series combines high performance, scala-
bility and advanced Layer 3 features in
one versatile solution.
Nortel’s Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS)
5500 series is comprised of stackable
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Layer 3
routing switches available in three
models — ERS 5510, 5520 and 5530
and come in a number of configurations
(see Table 1).
These switches are designed to provide
high-density Gigabit desktop connec-
tivity and Power over Ethernet capa-
bility to mid-size and large enterprise
customers’ wiring closets, data centers
or small core installations.
Configuration flexibility
Recognizing that networking require-
ments differ from business to business,
Nortel offers several products within
the 5500 series — offering enterprises
the flexibility to choose the port mix
that’s just right for their networking
deployments.
For example, enterprises looking for
high-speed uplink to the network core
can choose ERS 5530, which supports
dual 10-Gigabit connectivity. Other
businesses can opt for a mixture of PoE
and non-PoE supporting units within
the same stack, which enables units to
be added to the wiring closet or core on
a convenient and flexible pay-as-you-
grow basis. See Table 2 for a comparison
of features in the ERS 5500 family.

Resilience and scalability
through stacking
Nortel’s innovative FAST stacking tech-
nology, which is supported by the
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 family,
allows for simultaneous bidirectional
traffic flow on each stacking port, which
provides high performance stacking
connectivity across the series. With two
stack-ports per unit and the ability to
stack up to a maximum of eight units
together, a full stack yields up to 640
Gbps stacking capacity and up to 384
Gigabit ports with minimal impact to
performance and bottlenecks. Through
the use of intelligent forwarding, an
optimal data flow using a shortest path
algorithm ensures that data traverses the
stack in the most efficient manner,
ensuring optimum performance at the
edge, aggregation or core of the network.
For premium network uptime, in the
unlikely event of a unit or cable failure,
Nortel’s FAST stacking technology
delivers exceptional network uptime
by maintaining the operation of the
remaining units in the stack. This is made
possible by ensuring that remaining
units continue to run uninterrupted*.
Additionally, through support for
Automatic Unit Replacement (AUR)
when a replacement unit is added into
the stack, the configuration and software
image are automatically synchronized
with that of the failed unit, ensuring
that minimal user intervention is needed
in order to get that unit up and running
again.
For ease of management and mainte-
nance, the ERS 5500 comes complete
with features that enable testing and
monitoring of the stacking backplane
including stack loopback tests and stack
port counters, which enable network
managers to easily troubleshoot potential
issues.
High performance and
business continuity
Always-on, always-accessible networks
are vital for ensuring effective collabora-
tion among employees and customers,
and resource sharing between co-workers.
In the unlikely event of an inter-switch
link or unit failure, these interactions
must be able to continue without inter-
ruption. Business depends on it.
Through Nortel Multi-Link Trunking
(MLT) or standards-based 802.3ad Link
Aggregation, enterprises can bundle
multiple connections into a single network
trunk to provide increased bandwidth
and resiliency. In the event that a link
should fail within the aggregation or
trunk, network resiliency can be signifi-
cantly improved as fail-over to the
remaining active links is not dependent on
slow converging networking protocols.
Resiliency can be further enhanced with
uplinks being distributed across multiple
switches using technologies such as
Nortel’s Distributed Multi-Link Trunking
(DMLT) or Distributed Link Aggregation
(DLAG), ensuring that if a switch or
link in the stack should fail, the remaining
uplink links continue to provide network
connectivity to users connected to the
remaining units.
To achieve even higher levels of network
resiliency, DMLT or DLAG can be used
in combination with Nortel’s switch
clustering technology Split Multi-Link
Trunking (SMLT)
**
, which enables the
links of an MLT, DMLT or DLAG to
be terminated on two interconnected
core single or stack cluster of switches
for increased resilience and performance
from the edge to the core of the network.
A switch or stack of ERS 5500 switches
use SMLT to load balance multiple
uplinks from the edge of the network,
providing system level redundancy and
further reducing single points of failure
in the network. Additionally, when
using the ERS 5500 as a stack, further
levels are achieved as the network also
benefits from the stacking resilience
inherent to the ERS 5500.
Convergence-ready
functionality
Power over Ethernet
Ethernet Routing Switch 5520 models
include support for IEEE 802.3af
standards-compliant Power over Ethernet
(PoE). Support for this standard enables
the switch to power multiple devices —
including IP phones, wireless access
points, network cameras, security
devices and access control devices
supporting 802.3af — regardless of
product vendor.
Deployment in converged networks is
simplified through dynamic power
management of the PoE ports, with load
sharing and redundant power offered by
Nortel’s RPS 15 Power Supply Unit.
Combined, these features are designed
to ensure that devices requiring PoE can
be added to the network — without
power becoming an issue.

Link Layer Discovery Protocol
and Auto Detection/Auto
Configuration
The ERS 5500 series combines the
functionality of the Link Layer Discovery
Protocol (LLDP) and Auto Detection/
Auto Configuration (ADAC) to further
satisfy enterprises’ needs for converged
applications and simplified deployment.
Currently supported on Nortel IP Phones
featuring 802.1AB functionality, the
Ethernet Routing Switch uses LLDP for
auto discovery of 802.1AB-supporting
devices. Through LLDP, the identifica-
tion, configuration and capabilities of
neighboring devices are stored and shared
with other 802.1AB-supporting products
in order to build a topology map.
Through the linkage of these two features,
once the device is identified, the ADAC
feature automatically configures the port
with settings such as VLAN member-
ship and prioritization information.
Security for safeguarding
the network
Protecting the network against both
external and increasingly prevalent
internal attacks is a critical part of every
IT manager’s job. The ability to do this
requires simple to manage, yet intelligent
security solutions that not only look at
the identity of the person logging in,
but also at the device connecting into
the network. This network access control
approach ensures that only authorized
individuals and properly scanned/secured
devices are allowed onto the network,
thereby providing enhanced levels of
security.
Nortel’s Ethernet Routing Switch 5500
Series delivers various features to assist
in securing the network.
Nortel Secure Network Access
solution
Secure Network Access (SNA) —
Nortel’s endpoint security and policy
compliance solution — inspects,
assesses, ensures compliance to policy,
and remediates at the network endpoint
source, prior to network access.
Nortel SNA dramatically simplifies the
complexity of enterprise network access
architectures with a solution that assures
endpoint security compliance. Nortel
SNA provides this security through
seamless device quarantine and contain-
ment, remediation and repair for LAN
users and remote users (IPSec/SSL),
with both fixed and mobile connectivity
devices.
Running Nortel SNA with Nortel VPN
Gateways and Routers and ERS 5500
enables a highly integrated endpoint
security solution that’s easy to use and
manage. If an end station is already
known to the network manager as a
trusted device, its MAC address can be
input into the ERS 5500 switch. This
simplified and centralized manner of
managing access ensures that trusted
devices are granted quick access to the
network.
Network Access Control through
802.1X-based authentication
The ERS 5500 series supports IEEE
802.1X-based security, which limits
access to the network based on user
credentials. Through support for any
device with an 802.1X supplicant, as
well as for machines that dont have a
supplicant but have a known MAC that
can be entered into the switch/RADIUS
server, 802.1X delivers a standards-based
approach to authentication. Additionally,
for Voice over IP (VoIP) deployments
where the PC connects to the network
through a VoIP handset, the PC does its
authentication via EAP while the handset
is authenticated by using its DHCP signa-
ture, thus allowing for a simplified solu-
tion when more than one device requires
authentication on a single switch port.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol
Snooping
Dynamic Host Control Protocol
Snooping (DHCP) snooping provides
network security to a device by elimi-
nating an attacker’s ability to respond to
DHCP requests with false IP informa-
tion (DHCP spoofing). It is based on
trusted versus untrusted ports. DHCP
Snooping drops untrusted DHCP replies
and verifies the source of the DHCP
packets by creating a binding table of
DHCP clients. DHCP Snooping is used
in conjunction with the ARP Inspection
feature.
Dynamic Address Resolution
Protocol inspection
Dynamic Address Resolution Protocol
(ARP) inspection provides network
security to a device by eliminating an
attacker’s ability to poison ARP caches for
systems connected to the subnet. This
feature also prevents attackers from inter-
cepting traffic intended for other hosts on
the subnet (i.e., man-in-the middle).
Based on the DHCP binding table
maintained by the DHCP snooping
application, the function intercepts all
ARP request and responses on ‘untrusted’
ports. It then verifies that each intercepted
packet has valid IP-to-MAC address
binding before updating local ARP
cache or before forwarding the packet
to destination.
IP Source Guard
IP Source Guard is a Layer 2 per port
security feature that prevents IP spoofing
by only allowing IP addresses obtained
through DHCP Snooping. When a
connecting client receives a valid IP
address from the DHCP server, a filter is
installed on the port to allow traffic from
the assigned IP address. IP Source Guard
supports up to 10 IP addresses per port
and is dynamically configured from IP
information stored in the corresponding
DHCP Snooping Binding Entry.
Simplified management
The ERS 5500 series can be managed as
a single stacked entity through one IP
address to simplify network operations.
Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol
Management is further simplified
through support for the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This
functionality enables network adminis-
trators to centrally manage and auto-
mate the assignment of IP addresses for
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 both in
standalone and stack configurations.
Enterprise-class management
The ERS 5500 series is managed through
Nortel’s enterprise-class 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
5500 simple through a graphical
management interface.
Layer 3 functionality
ERS 5500 supports a number of
advanced Layer 3 features — including
static routes as well as the dynamic
routing protocols RIPv1/v2, OSPF**.
With support of up to 2,000 routes and
ECMP (Ethernet Routing Switch 5520
and 5530 only), VRRP and IP
Multinetting, the Ethernet Routing
Switch 5500 series delivers rich Layer 3
functionality enabling its deployment as
either a Layer 3 edge switch or as a core
solution for smaller enterprise networks.
Lifetime warranty
All 5500 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.
