Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8610CO Height: 35.0 in. (88.9 cm) Width: 17.4 in. (44.2 cm) Depth: 23.7 in. (60.2 cm) Weight (empty):
(fully loaded):184 lb (83.5 kg)
315 lb (142.9 kg)Rack mountable: Yes, 19-inch standard rack Metro Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 or MERS 8600 is a modular chassis router and/or switch manufactured by Nortel now acquired by Avaya. The MERS 8600 supports the Provider Backbone Bridges (PBB), Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) technologies and carrier class Operations Administration & Maintenance (OAM) tools. [1]
Configurable as a 1.440 Terabit Switch cluster using SMLT and RSMLT protocols,[2] cluster failover (normally less than 100 millisecond).[3]
British Telecom (BT) is using the MERS 8600 PBB/PBT technologies in its 21 Century Network (21CN)[4] and India has selected this platform for the most extensive IP network ever deployed by an international airport in India.[5]The MERS 8600 has 3 chassis options
- 8006, 6-slot chassis for backbones of low density or high space premium
- 8010, 10-slot chassis for high availability and high scalability
- 8010CO, 10-slot NEBS-compliant chassis.
The chassis can be configured with one or two CPU modules (8692SF), and is normally configured with two or three load balancing power supplies.
