Overview

Niagara 2908 is a 8 Port 10 Gigabit Specialized Switch. The Niagara 2908 is an advanced switching and routing system providing Layer 2 switching, IP v4/v6 routing, QoS support and management capabilities. The system is built for optimal flexability enabling multi-mode or single mode fiber media configuration and connectivity to 10GE or 1GE networks via SFP+ or SFP connectors. The unit’s management functionality can be utilized via an extensive web GUI or CLI which enables flexibility and multiple configurations.

• The Niagara 2908 is designed to integrate with UTM, Firewall, WAN Acceleration, QoS, IPS, IDS and Enterprise and Datacenter IT security appliances.
• The Niagara 2908 provides layer 2/3/4 10 Gigabit Ethernet enterprise and datacenter capabilities. Layer 2 switching, IP v4/v6 routing, QoS and management capabilities.
• The System is based on Marvell Prestera switch family supporting 1GE and 10GE technology with multiple ports.

Target Applications

The comprehensive feature set is well suited for a range of applications including:

• Carrier Ethernet and Metro Ethernet devices
• Datacenter switching applications
• IP-DSLAMs, blade servers
• Managed Ethernet switches
• MTU or MDU premises switches

Management

• SNMP (v1, v2c, v3) agent and MIB support; configuration save / restore
• CLI (Console, Telnet, SSH), pre-defined CLI commands
• WebUI (HTTP and HTTPS / SSL), pre-defined web pages
• Software and configuration upgrade through TFTP or SFTP
• Syslog – client (with reliable syslog delivery) and relay
• TCP/IP stack for IPv4 and IPv6 (including ARP, ICMP, ND, UDP)
• DHCP (client, server, relay) for IPv4
• Stateless DHCP service for IPv6 for specific options assignment
• RADIUS client
• TACACS+ client

Basic Layer 2 Switching

• Transparent bridging
• VLAN aware bridging with GARP, GVRP, GMRP
• Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
• Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
• Per VLAN Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (enhanced) – PVRST+
• IGMP snooping
• IGMP filtering
• IGMP Proxy
• MLD snooping
• Link Aggregation with LACP
• 802.1x authentication
• Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
• Ethernet OAM – 802.3ah
• MRP (Multiple Registration Protocol)

QoS (dependent on silicon support)

• ACLs (Access Control Lists) for traffic filtering
• 802.1p, DiffServ, traffic prioritization queuing, policing, shaping
• Rate limiting and storm control
• Flow control and priority flow control
• Enhanced transmission selection

Routing

• IPv4 unicast - static routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPFv2, IS-IS, BGP4
• IPv4 multicast – IGMP router, PIM-SM/DM, DVMRP
• IPv4 – NAT (Network Address Translation) – unicast and multicast
• IPv6 unicast - static routing, RIP v6, OSPFv3, IS-IS, BGP4+
• IPv6 multicast – MLD, PIMv6
• Route redistribution between IPv4 routing protocols and static routes
• Route maps for filtering route advertisements and route redistribution – IPv4 and IPv6
• IPv6 tunneling over IPv4 – IPv4 and IPv6
• Graceful restart for BGP, BGP4+, IS-IS, OSPFv2, OSPFv3
• Hot standby redundancy for OSPFv2, OSPFv3, PIM for IPv4/v6
• Virtual routing with IPv4/v6 static routing, OSPFv2/v3, IS-IS for IPv4, RIPv2
• VRRP for router redundancy

Advanced Layer 2 Switching, MPLS / VPLS

• Q-in-Q VLAN tunneling and Provider bridging
• MPLS - static LSPs, LDP, RSVP-TE, PWE3 VCs for L2 VPNs
