Can this equipment do SMLT?

Split Multi-Link Trunking (SMLT)

0

Split Multi-Link Trunking (SMLT) is a link aggregation technology in computer networking designed by Nortel in 2001 as an enhancement to standard Multi-Link Trunking (MLT) as defined in IEEE 802.3ad.

SMLT is supported on Nortel's Ethernet Routing Switch 1600, 5500, 8300, ERS 8600 and MERS 8600 products.

Nortel Split Multi-Link Trunking:
SMLT mesh with nine 1Gig paths (all connections active and load balancing traffic) 9Gb/s full duplex mesh providing 18Gb/s of bandwidth between core switches.

Nortel Split Multi-Link Trunking

SMLT Topologies:
SMLT triangle between 3 Nortel switches 40Gb/s full duplex to edge switch.

SMLT Topologies - SMLT Triangle

Failure Scenarios:

SMLT is fully interoperable with devices supporting standard MLT (IEEE 802.3ad static mode).

...from one dead ethernet vendor to another! What could go wrong?

Why are you "Anon"?

0

Enterasys may be smaller than some of the other vendors, but by all measures is a successful business (profitable and growing). Any comparison to Nortel is inaccurate. And by smaller, I still don't mean small. With operations and thousands of active customers in 80 countries, we aren't small, just small enough to show our customers the direct personal touch that they deserve and appreciate. This appreciation was recently validated in a customer satisfaction survey that showed an over 95% satisfaction rate. We are so confident that customers will like our products and unique in-sourced approach to customer support, that we're willing to buy back Nortel (or CISCO, HP and others) products.

And, if that isn't enough, with Enterasys you can eliminate your maintenance expenses. Imagine converting your annual maintenance expense into essentially a free network refresh, and in the end you also eliminate your maintenance expenses going forward!

I'm willing to discuss any of this with anyone that isn't hiding behind an anonymous name and interested in saving money.

I encourage anonymous comments

0

Actually Barry, I encourage anonymous comments.

Otherwise in my opinion, leading competitors would be too "shy" to comment!

Furthermore, on those extremely rare occasions when I do take Cisco to "task" for doing something that I disagree with, it's nice to get "anonymous feedback comments" from Cisco.

Once again Barry, I encourage anonymous comments.

Why?

They keep me on my toes and allow vendors to "smack me" when I deserve it, which fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your point of view) happens to be most of the time!

Sincerely,

Brad Reese

As a long time Enterasys

As a long time Enterasys customer who is completely satisfied with their products and exceptional support, I highly recommend you look at the Enterasys product portfolio. Special pricing deals/offers only make it even more compelling in these economic times!

How is Enterasys "dead"?

0

I'm wondering how a company that has just entered a strong joint venture with Siemens Enterprise Communications can be considered a "dead vendor."

Would a dead vendor be invited to supply the connectivity backbone for InteropNet in Las Vegas and New York for two years in a row?

Would a dead vendor be invited by the Trusted Computing Group to participate in writing a new NAC standard?

Would a dead vendor be winning new customers globally in every industry vertical, quarter after quarter, in an economy where other companies are losing customers?

There must be some value in this trade-in program - because it is working.

Dead Vendors

0

Perhaps death comes about in many different forms.

Do you think it's too far-fetched to assume that one "form of death" would be a vendor selling out to Cisco?

How so you may ask?

Well, after an engineer cashes out by selling his and/or her company to Cisco, is it possible thereafter for that engineer to make "serious coin" as an employee of Cisco?

I mean, isn't that engineer's earnings potential as an employee of Cisco pretty much "chump change" compared to what that engineer earned selling out to Cisco?

Isn't that a "form of death," an engineer no longer earning what an engineer is capable of earning as an entrepreneur?

New NAC standard and anything Vegas

0

Ok...why do we need a new NAC standard? Are the standards that Microsoft, Cisco, Juniper and others have developed and co-support not as appealing as some "new" standard that tiny vendor Enerasys might delevelop? I seriously doubt it.

As for Vegas, the Enterasys stronghold, the other vendors wanted money for their gear and services, Enterasys just gave their stuff (and service) away. Nice marketing move, but hardly an endorsement of their network equipment superiority.

Insulting tiny vendors?

0

Are you trying to insult both Enterasys and Cisco simultaneously?

Why you ask?

Cisco specializes in acquiring tiny vendors:

List of Cisco Acquisitions

If in fact Cisco has nothing but contempt for tiny vendors, it certainly has been paying a King's Ransom for its contempt.
