The widely deployed 5 Gbps CBX 500® Multiservice WAN Switch delivers
carrier-class ATM, frame relay, circuit emulation, and IP services. Support for
a wide range of input/output (I/O) modules and a distributed I/O module-based
processing design enable the CBX 500® switch to offer high port and service
densities from a compact chassis.
Flow control conserves network resources by using switch-to-switch signaling
to manage congestion at the network edge. The high-performance switching
fabric, modular architecture, and cross-point technology enable you to
cost-effectively grow your edge network.
Use the CBX 500® Multiservice WAN Switch to cost-effectively aggregate Layer
2 and Layer 3 edge services.
Scale, simplify and consolidate public networks
Avoid costly overlay networks by adding IP services to your existing ATM and
frame relay network
Generate new revenue opportunities with flexible bandwidth services based on
Inverse Multiplexing over ATM, Multilink Frame Relay, and subrate
capabilities
Gain voice, video, and data support that is flexible enough to capitalize on
new market opportunities
Leverage limited real estate and simplify your physical plant with
high-density service modules
Simplify network operations and speed service activation with end-to-end
network and service management
Differentiate ATM, frame relay, IP and MPLS services with Quality of Service
(QoS), and preserve Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
Benefit from proven, carrier-class performance and reliability
The scalable, reliable CBX 500® Multiservice WAN Switch supports multiple
services with unified network management.
High-port density, multiservice support, and proven
reliability deliver superior price/performance
Supports a wide range of high-speed, high-density service modules, including
8-port T3/E3, 4-port OC-3c/STM-1 modules and 1-port OC-12/STM-4 modules
Interchangeable service modules with the CBX 3500® Multiservice Edge Switch
provide greater investment protection and flexibility
High port-densities, high VC support and distributed routing and signal
processing increase scalability
Flow control gives you the tools to run rt-VBR (real-time - Variable Bit
Rate), nrt-VBR, ABR (Available Bit Rate) and UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate), and
ensure fairness in the network for all services.
Fault tolerant architecture delivers proven
carrier-class reliability and service availability
Redundancy protection for key modules: 1+1 Automatic Protection Switching
(APS)/Multiplex Section Protection (MSP) on SONET/SDH interfaces help support
non-service impacting upgrades and protect against card failures.
Routing and signaling protection: Distributed routing and signaling control
help avoid single points of failure. If a network or service disruption occurs,
priority-based routing of hundreds of thousands of circuits per second quickly
restores services.
Reliable architecture: Fully redundant hardware, control, and power
components protect against hardware failures and reduce network downtime. If a
failure occurs, automatic failover, Stratum 3 holdover timing and hot-swappable
modules can restore services quickly without losing data.
Robust software architecture helps reduce costs and
simplifies network management
The carrier-class, feature rich MXOS™ Multiservice Switch Operating Software
simultaneously supports ATM, frame relay, and IP services – providing
exceptional reliability, service flexibility, and investment protection.
Proactive network data collection and analysis tools can reduce operating
costs by quickly identifying problems with the potential to disrupt
services.
Management Software offers extensive configuration, performance
management, point-click-done provisioning and security support for multiple
services from a single platform.
