EX 3524

Easy and cost-effective deployment with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)

Comprehensive protocol support for 802.3af/802.3at (PoE/PoE+) at 15.4W or 30W provides future proofing, ensuring that the EX 3500 you buy today can provide power to the PoE-enabled devices of the future. The PoE budget capacity of 370W on the EX3524 and 740W on the EX3548, and simultaneous PoE on all the ports greatly reduces the power management complexity and eliminates the cost of running power to wired devices, such as access points, IP phones and video cameras.

Comprehensive security features keep your network and data safe

The full range of security features supported by the EX3524/EX3548 ensures that the network services are uninterrupted and the data privacy is protected. User access and authentication features include access control, standards-based 802.1x port-level access control, MAC authentication, MAC limiting. Threat detection features include DHCP snooping, Dynamic ARP inspection, Proxy ARP, IP source guard, Broadcast/multicast storm control, MAC based port security.

Quality of Service (QoS) ensures network performance

The EX3524/EX3548 supports multi-layer QoS including 802.1p CoS and DiffServ standards for data/voice and video traffic and maintaining end-to-end traffic prioritizations. Both the models support four queues per port, for granular priority levels for various applications in the network. Scheduling and congestion control policy options include Strict, WRR and Strict-WRR queuing algorithms.

Auto-discovery and centralized remote management — through your NX Integrated Services Platforms

Industry standard LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) and LLDP-MED (Link Layer Discovery ProtocolMedia Endpoint Discovery) enable auto discovery of devices, VLAN configuration and identification of power requirements for efficient power management. Centralized management support on the NX allows customers to remotely stage, configure, monitor and manage the wired EX 35xx through the NX Integrated Services Platforms, just like all of your wireless infrastructure, providing the simplicity of a single management windowpane for your entire wired and wireless network.
