The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series offers network planners a broad set of high-performance IPv4, Classic Layer 2, Provider Bridge (PB), and Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) functions in the same device. With these capabilities, these switches are designed to help address a diverse set of applications in metro edge networks, ISP networks, mobile backhaul networks, data centers, large enterprises, government networks, and education and research. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series is well suited for applications such as:
The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series B48C and B50C are designed to offer flexible, resilient, secure, and advanced services in a compact form factor. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series is available in a variety of flexible configurations to help address different provider needs:
The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series is built on Multi-Service IronWare, the same operating system software that powers IBM Ethernet Router m-series, thereby allowing ease of integration with existing networks. These capabilities include support for robust routing protocols, advanced Layer 2 protocols, an industry-standard user interface, a broad range of OAM protocols, security, and simplified management capabilities. Multi-Service IronWare on IBM Ethernet Switch c-series includes all these capabilities and additionally supports Provider Bridge and Provider Backbone Bridge functions as an optional Metro Edge upgrade. Carrier grade Ethernet is a ubiquitous, standardized service that is defined by five attributes: standardized services, scalability, service management, reliability, and quality of service (QoS). A carrier Ethernet service can be delivered over a range of transport technology as long as it satisfies the standards and attributes associated with the service. Examples of underlying transport mechanisms that could be used are native Ethernet using 802.1Q VLANs, MPLS-based Layer 2 VPNs, IEEE 802.1ad Provider Bridges, IEEE 802.1ah Provider Backbone Bridges, and Ethernet over SONET. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series supports all five key attributes of carrier Ethernet. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series is compliant with both the MEF 9 and MEF 14 specifications. Using these switches, a provider can offer E-LINE, E-LAN, and E-TREE services, the standardized service names for point-to-point, multipoint, and rooted multipoint services. These services can be offered using 802.1Q VLANs, Provider Bridges, or Provider Backbone Bridges. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series supports up to 128k MAC addresses per system. Support for 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports or 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports, helps provide wire-speed performance even at full load, to accommodate providers' customers who wish to upgrade to a higher bandwidth service. Additionally, the use of Link Aggregation Groups (LAG) allows multiple links to be aggregated and offer even higher bandwidth services at the user network interface (UNI) to the end user. When combined with IBM Ethernet Router m-series as the Provider Edge (PE) router, VPLS services on the IBM Ethernet Router m-series, complemented with 802.1Q/PB/PBB functions on the IBM Ethernet Switch c-series, allows the creation of highly scalable carrier Ethernet services. Recently developed specifications such as IEEE 802.1ag-2007 (Connectivity Fault Management) and MEF 17 (Service OAM Framework and Specifications), support the rapid and proactive identification and isolation of faults in the network or service, to help maintain service uptime. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series with the optional Metro Edge Premium Activation (#7211) supports capabilities in IEEE 802.1ag such as Connectivity Check Messages, Loopback Message/Response, and LinkTrace Message/Response. It allows flexible association and definition of both Maintenance End Points (MEP) and Maintenance Intermediate Points (MIP) within a network. Fault management functions of MEF 17 Service OAM are also supported. These tools provide the ability to monitor, diagnose, and centrally manage the network. To provide a high level of reliability in the carrier Ethernet service, the IBM Ethernet Switch c-series supports Metro Ring Protocol (MRP and MRP-II), the ring resiliency protocol of choice on several metro networks worldwide. Standard Layer 2 protocols such as MSTP, RSTP and STP are also supported. MRP and MRP-II allows carrier Ethernet services to be delivered over ring-based topologies, including overlapping rings that help improve the use of fiber in metro rings and provide fast recovery from node and link failures in milliseconds. MRP and MRP-II can also be used within a PB and PBB network. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series supports up to eight queues per port, each with a distinct priority level. Advanced QoS capabilities, such as the use of 2-rate, 3-color traffic policers, Egress shaping and priority remarking, may also be applied to offer deterministic "hard QoS" capability to customers of the service. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series can be configured with Ingress and Egress bandwidth profiles per UNI that are in compliance with the rigid traffic management specifications of MEF 10 and MEF 14. Provider Bridges, as specified in IEEE 802.1ad, allow reuse of the entire range of 4096 VLAN-IDs on each port. By adding a 12-bit VLAN-ID, called the Service VLAN-ID (S-VID) and associated tags to a customer frame, it is possible to map these customer VLAN-IDs (C-VID) to service instances in a provider's network. Most network cores today are built based on MPLS. Specifically, by using VPLS, an existing MPLS network can be easily leveraged to offer carrier Ethernet services. In a VPLS network, participating Provider Edge (PE) devices establish a full mesh of pseudo-wires among all nodes in a VPLS instance. To support the scalability of the VPLS service, hierarchical VPLS is often desired by operators to limit the number of PE devices that participate in the full mesh. Provider Backbone Bridge (PBB) technology can be used to implement hierarchical VPLS by cross- connecting VPLS at the PE router (the hub device) to PBB spokes at the network edge. Multicast transport is a key enabler of next-generation services such as IPTV. It is also typically a major consumer of capacity in many multi-service networks. It is therefore critical for next-generation edge switches to efficiently handle multicast traffic. The IBM Ethernet Switch c-series has support for multicast switching and routing via a variety of protocols including PIM-SM, PIM-DM, PIM-SSM, IGMP V2 and V3, and other platform-independent multicast capabilities built in Multi-Service IronWare. Based on Multi-Service IronWare, the IBM Ethernet Switch c-series includes support for IPv4 unicast protocols - RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP with the optional Layer 3 feature. Further, to help increase overall service availability, Graceful Restart helper mode is supported for both OSPF and BGP to support hitless management failover and hitless operating system upgrades on adjacent modular routers with these functions. These switches also provide a broad range of security capabilities, including support for both inbound and outbound ACLs, ACL logging, advanced Layer 2 controls such as BPDU guard and root guard, limits for broadcast and unknown unicast and multicast. Receive ACLs assist in placing controls on unwanted traffic targeted toward the control plane. Additionally, using tools such as ACL-based traffic policers, ACL-based sFlow and ACL-based mirroring, malicious traffic can be identified and preventive measures taken in the network.

Combination ports The four 100/1000 Mbps SFP Hybrid Fiber (HF) uplink ports (1F - 4F) and RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps Copper ports 1 - 4 are combination ports, meaning either the copper port or its corresponding fiber port can be active, but both cannot be active at the same time. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports, or all four copper, or all four fiber ports, as needed. If you attach both the copper and fiber connectors for a port to the network, the fiber connectors take precedence. These ports support true media automatic detection, meaning the device will select the fiber or copper connector based on link availability. If a fiber link cannot be established, the device will select the copper media. Operating system The Multi-Service IronWare base Operating System installed on each base unit includes the following fundamental Layer 2 and 3 functions:
Each IBM Ethernet Switch B48C and IBM Ethernet Switch B50C contains a serial management interface enables users to configure and manage the device using a third-party terminal emulation application on a directly connected PC. A straight-through EIA/TIA DB-9 serial cable (M/F) ships with the device. The serial management interface (the port labeled Console) is located in the front panel. Management An IBM Ethernet Switch c-series can be managed using the Command Line Interface (CLI) which provides a text-based interface accessible through the following physical interfaces on a Management Module:
