Product Features
 Smart VLAN Support
 ZXR10 2900E series switches not only support 1:1 VLAN mapping, but also support N: 1
VLAN mapping. VLAN aggregation thus can be realized at the access layer, increasing
the efficiency of VLAN utilization.

 ZXR10 2900E also supports other VLAN features, including port-based VLAN, subnet
VLAN, Protocol-based VLAN, Super VLAN, QinQ and flexible selective QinQ. Network
administrator can distinguish user and service effectively and apply different strategies
thereafter.

 ZXR10 2900E supports voice VLAN, which means the automatic assignment of
dedicated VLAN and QoS strategy to voice equipments, thus enabling the voice traffic to
enjoy high priority.

 Improve Video Bearing Capabilities

 Multicast service is the profitable point of many operators. ZXR10 2900E fully supports
L2/L3 multicast, including IGMP snooping, Filtering, Proxy and Fastleave, MVR
(Multicast VLAN Registration) and PIM-SM to facilitate the deployments of these
services.

 Besides that, ZXR10 2900E series products support IPTV, which means they are
capable of providing rich CAC (channel access control) rules.

 Multicast Qos are also supported to minimize the risks of delay, jitter of the multicast
traffic. The time needed to get new user on-line is very short.

 
 IPv6 Features
 ZXR10 2900E supports IPv6 features, including Telnet v6, Ping V6, ICMPv6, ND, MLD
Snooping, IPV6 ACL and DHCP V6 Snooping to facilitate the deployment of these
services.

 Intelligent Power Over Ethernet

 All the electrical access interfaces of ZXR10 2910E-PS and 2928E-PS support POE and
POE+, which go in line with 802.3af and 802.3at standards, and are compatible with PD
equipments that doesn't support 802.3af and 802.3at. For POE, the power output per
single interface can reach 15.4W; For POE+, the power output per single interface can
reach 30W. ZXR10 2900E supports assigning POE time-ranges and assigning the
maximum POE output for specific interfaces, in time periods that doesn't need power
output, the POE function can be turned off, saving energy for the customer.

 ZXR10 2910E-PS and 2928E-PS support negotiating POE power through LLDP-MED;
once the needed power is bigger than the output power, alarms will be generated and
sent to the OAM centre.

 PPPoE+ and VBAS

 PPPoE+ and VBAS (Virtual Broadband Access Server) are two very useful measures to
provide user circuit identification means in user access network.

 When acting as a L2 switch or L2 switch and enabled with PPPoE+ or VBAS, ZXR10
2900E can insert user circuit information into the packets so the BRAS can have the
detailed user location info for future billing/control/ACL implementation purposes.

 Enhanced Reliability
 ZXR10 2900E series switches support Ethernet smart ring protection function, which
goes in line with RFC3619 and ITU.T G.8032 standard. Ethernet smart ring protection
can be implemented in both close ring and open ring topology; Multiple instances can be
configured in order to realize load-balancing. The switchover time can be kept below
50ms.

 
  ZESS (ZTE Ethernet Smart Switch) and LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) can
help guarantee the reliability of the uplink connection.

 With technologies like DHCP snooping and IP source guard, user validity can be
guaranteed; DAI (dynamic ARP inspection) function can help effectively mitigate the
influence caused by ARP attacks.

 2900E supports MFF (MAC forced forwarding), L2 separation and L3

inter-communication can be realized;

 Network traffic monitoring technologies including mirroring (SPAN and RSPAN) and
sFlow are all supported, further enhancing the security of the network.

 Easy-Security
 ZXR10 2900E supports rich security related measures to ensure the customer can have
a robust network.

 With egress ACL, important access terminals can be protected with fewer configurations,
users don't have to configure ingress ACL on each access interface.

 After user passed 802.1X authentication, the MAC/IP/port relationship can be

automatically frozen, so that future MAC/IP spoofing attacks can be prevented.

 With DAI (Dynamic ARP inspection) function and IP/MAC binding, the DOS attacks
would be effectively restricted;

 Traffic mirroring/analyzing functions like SPAN, RSPAN and sFlow help network
administrator better understand network running status.

 2900E supports SSL and can act as a SSL server

 Easy-Maintenance
 The innovative M-Button function enables the network administrator to fetch important
equipment information including port/memory/CPU status in case of network problems,
enabling instant trouble-shooting, and thus reducing OPEX to the utmost extent.

 
  GVRP VLAN Registration Protocol can help network administrators reduce network
configuration workloads and easily deploy large amounts of VLAN in complicated
networking environment. ZXR10 2900E series switches support the implementation,
distribution, registration and transmission of VLAN attribute in dynamic GVRP pattern,
which can simplify VLAN configuration management, and reduce network
interconnection problems caused by inconsistent configuration.

 ZXR10 2900E series switches support Zero Configurations, which means the switch can
automatically download software images and configurations, enabling plug and play and
drastically reducing maintenance cost.

 Two software image files can be stored for backup purpose.

 Green
 Following green and eco-friendly design philosophy, ZXR10 2900E helps the customers
save energy and reduce power consumption from all the aspects of design:

 No fan (2910E/2918E/2952E).

 The product adopts the advanced chip technology, so the power consumption of the
main chip is reduced up to 20%.

 The materials used during the product life span of 2900E completely meet RoHS and
WEEE standards.
