Brocade NetIron CES 2000 Series

The Brocade NetIron CES 2000 Series of switches provides IP routing and advanced Carrier Ethernet capabilities in a compact form factor. Based on the feature-rich Brocade Multi-Service IronWare software, these 10 GbE-capable 1U switches offer deep buffers and are ideal for Carrier Ethernet service delivery at the network edge and for data center top-of-rack server access. By enabling rapid deployment of leading-edge services, the NetIron CES 2000 Series helps organizations increase their profitability.

Abstract:

This document is designed for system administrators with a working knowledge of Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching and routing.

Abstract:

This guide describes the software features and the CLI commands used to configure the Brocade MLX Series and Brocade NetIron Family devices.

Abstract:

This guide describes the Brocade NetIron CES and Brocade NetIron CER devices. It provides procedures for installing the interface modules, power supplies, and other components of the device. It also includes some basic software installation and configuration information to get the device up and running.

Abstract:

This document details instructions for upgrading Brocade MLX series and NetIron Family products.

Abstract:

This document contains the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Information Base (MIB) objects that are supported on devices.

Abstract:

Metro service provider SpringNet upgrades its Brocade network infrastructure to boost capacity, improve services delivery, and generate new revenue streams

Abstract:

Next-generation networks require an overall architecture evolving to accommodate new technologies that support the growing numbers of users, applications, and services. IPv6 is designed to be more robust, dramatically increase the pool of global IP addresses, simplify network administration, resolve security and mobility issues, and improve Quality of Service (QoS).

Abstract:

Many services, such as mobile Internet and mobile TV, require high bandwidth, and current backhaul infrastructures are not optimized to handle this traffic. Advanced routers and switches from Brocade enable highly scalable designs for the eventual convergence of voice and data infrastructure that can deliver new multimedia services.

Abstract:

The ability to transport Ethernet over different transport technologies raises the exciting proposition of Ethernet services not only in campus or metro networks but also at a global level.
