ZTE Switch ZXR10 8900 Series Terabit MPLS Routing Switch RS-8902 RS-8905 RS-8908 RS-8912

ZXR10  8900 Series Terabit MPLS Routing Switches are high-end modular switches  featuring big switching capacity, full L2/L3/MPLS service capability,  high-performance, superior reliability and enhanced security. ZXR10 8900 is  designed for the core/aggregation layer of the campus network and  Datacenter.

ZXR10  8900 include four models: ZXR10 8902, 8905, 8908 and 8912. Multiple kinds of  line card modules are available for the 8900 switching platform while one  specific interface module can be equipped on any of these four switch types,  providing maximum flexibility and protecting hardware investment for  user.

Advantages

Robust  Hardware Architecture

ZXR10 8900  adopts a large-capacity and high-speed serial bus backplane to connect the main  control board with all service line cards. The control module and switch matrix  are integrated in one main-control unit and can provide 1:1 redundancy. A  large-capacity switch matrix is used to guarantee sufficient switching capacity  for the system. The control board uses a high-performance CPU and large memory  to ensure adequate computing power and storage space for speedy protocol  processing and quick look up in big table structures. Each line card provides  packet processing capability at wire speed through ASIC and offers 10G, 1G and 100M interfaces to different  services.

High  Performance Software Platform

For software,  the  ROS operating system of ZXR10 8900 is a multi-task, real-time operating system.  It is responsible to manage the hardware architecture of the entire routing  switch, providing a unified operation platform for the applications. Based on  the VxWorks kernel, task scheduling, process collaboration, data-structure  synchronization, memory management, and time management can be  well-implemented.

With a  software platform featuring high efficiency and loose-coupling relationship  between different functional modules 8900 would bring maximum reliability for  user, especially when it is deployed at a critical network  position.

Large  capacity/High performance

Targeting  for the aggregation or core layer of the network, ZXR10 8900 is designed to have  big switching capacity and high performance for high quality multi-service  bearing purpose.

Taken ZXR10 8912 as an example, ZXR10 8912 supports up  to 1152Gbps non-blocking switching capability, or 857Mpps packet forwarding  capability; it has 384K routing table depth, 512K MAC table depth and can  provide 4096 VLAN , 10K ACL per interface  module. 

ZXR10  8900 also supports extremely abundant types of line cards. Users can choose from  a wide selection of line cards to meet their unique demands of interfaces,  fulfilling their customized requirements for their network, and protecting their  network investment at the same time.

Powerful  Service Bearing Capability

ZXR10 8900  supports L2/L3/L4 full-rate switching and full metro Ethernet service bearing  capabilities, including MPLS and multicast, adding more new value to the network  when deployed at core/convergence layer of the network. It also supports  hardware-based Qos mechanism like traffic accounting, classification, rate limit  and queue scheduling to help users deploy value-added  services.

Excellent  Security

ZXR10 8900  supports complete ACL security filtering mechanisms. It's able to provide  security control based on MAC/IP address, or based on application layer port  number. Meanwhile, it also supports uRPF, anti-DDOS attack, SSH2.0 security  management, 802.1x access authentication, port number and IP address binding,  etc.

Comprehensive  MPLS related Features

ZXR10 8900  fully support L2 MPLS VPN based on draft Martini, and L3 MPLS VPN based on  RFC2547. The standard realization of L2 VPN and L3 VPN enables the  internetworking of 8900 with devices from other vendors. The equipment also  supports MPLS-TE to better utilize network bandwidth and enhance network  reliability.

Carrier-class  Reliability Ensure Ever-online Services

Key  modules of ZXR10 8900, such as system main-control units and power supply  modules all adopt 1:1 backup design.

When  deployed in layer 2 environment, ZESR/ZESR+ (ZTE Ethernet Smart Ring) and ZESS  (ZTE Ethernet Smart Switching) can be used to realize fast switchover in case of  single point failure.

ZXR10  8900 supports both close ring ZESR and open ring ZESR+, which are a very good  network redundancy solutions in ring topology  networks.

ZESS  is a very simple yet effective means to realize dual-homing  purpose.

Compared  with STP, the biggest advantage is that the link will switch and recover quickly  when one way is disconnected and the time needed to switchover is less than  50ms. ZESR/ZESR+ support VLAN load balancing to enable efficient utilization of  redundant  links.

Service reliability requirements can be met with full  support to all kinds of redundancy/backup mechanisms including VRRP,  LACP, FRR, NSF and  BFD.

Excellent  Operation and Maintenance Design

The  ever-accelerating growth of network service makes fast deployment of network  service become more and more important. ZXR10 8900 can be used together with  ZTE's unified network management platform to provide customers service  configuration, management, problem diagnosis, and performance monitoring  means.

Customers  can understand the network operating status at any time. The deep inspection  carried out by intelligent OAM tools simplifies trouble-shooting and makes the  network management much  easier.
