Flexible to Meet Your Needs
Every port can deliver at wire speed. The CER is available in multiple 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) copper and hybrid fiber configurations to meet every type of network situation.
Openflow: Easy to Manage Easy to Deploy
Bring software-defined networking (SDN) into your environment. The CER supports OpenFlow 1.3 in hybrid mode, so you can perform both traditional and OpenFlow forwarding from one system.
Features:
Scalable Carrier-Class Routing
The Brocade CER 2000 features best-in-class interior and exterior gateway protocols that are commonly deployed in provider networks. The routers support standard IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols—including Routing Information Protocol (RIP/RIPng), Open Shortest Path First (OSPF/OSPFv3), Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS/IS-IS for IPv6), and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP/BGP-MP for IPv6)—with the same performance and reliability typically associated with larger chassis systems. To complement these routing features, the Brocade CER 2000 can store the full Internet routing table in hardware and achieve wire-speed forwarding performance. As a result, it is ideally suited for service provider edge routing applications as well as for enterprise border routing applications.
Compact and Scalable Routing
The Brocade CER 2000 can store up to 1,500,000 IPv4 and 256,000 IPv6 unicast routes, enough to accommodate the full IPv4 Internet routing table today and provide a smooth migration path to IPv6. In addition, the Brocade MultiService IronWare operating system provides highly scalable BGP functionality and can support up to 256 BGP peers. Combined with advanced and scalable BGP route filtering mechanisms, the Brocade CER 2000 can be a route reflector in small to midsized networks.
Video Delivery
As more and more service providers include digital entertainment (using MPEG2/4-quality video) in their offerings, they require enormous amounts of bandwidth per subscriber and efficient multicast delivery. Providing up to 136 Gbps of capacity, the Brocade CER 2000 is ideally suited for the high-bandwidth, low-latency requirements of video traffic. Today, service providers deliver triple-play and IPTV services using both Layer 2 and Layer 3 models. The Brocade CER 2000 gives them the flexibility of choosing between traditional IP multicast and Virtual Private LAN Services (VPLS) to deliver high-quality video.
The Brocade CER 2000 provides comprehensive support for multicast routing and switching through a variety of protocols—including PIM-SM, PIM-DM, PIM-SSM, IGMP v2/v3—and through other platform-independent capabilities. Egress interface-based replication optimizes performance and buffer usage to help maximize network performance for multicast traffic. In addition, the Brocade CER 2000 supports static IGMP “Joins” and efficient processing of IGMP Join/ Leave requests to help ensure a fast channel-zapping experience.
Carrier-Class Reliability
Routing stability and non-stop forwarding are key attributes in maintaining high Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in provider networks. To facilitate higher SLAs, the Brocade CER 2000 supports graceful restart helper mode for both OSPF and BGP. In addition, it supports Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for OSPF, IS-IS, and BGP, streamlining the detection of network failures and enabling sub-second convergence. The Brocade CER 2000 supports up to 8 Equal-Cost Multi-Paths (ECMPs), which can help increase redundancy. Moreover, redundant, load-sharing power supplies help ensure complete carrier-class uptime.
MPLS to the Edge
Triple-play services and business Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions are increasingly based on MPLS infrastructure. Given the enormous space constraints and the need to deliver Layer 2 and Layer 3 services in a single device, many service providers are looking for a device that can deliver maximum performance in the smallest footprint. The Brocade CER 2000 meets this objective with advanced MPLS edge features—making it an ideal platform for delivering converged voice, video, and data over MPLS in small to midsized Metro Ethernet networks.
Business VPNs
With the Brocade CER 2000 Series, service providers can offer distributed enterprise connectivity services through a transparent service such as Layer 2 VPNs, or provide more control through Layer 3 VPN services. The transparent services are delivered as point-to-point or point-to-multipoint services. To facilitate both options, the Brocade CER 2000 Series supports VPLS and Virtual Leased Line (VLL) implementations using widely accepted LDP signaling. The routers also support Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)-based MPLS VPNs and provide per-customer routing instances with a choice of BGP, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Routing Information Protocol (RIP), or static routing options. In addition, each virtual forwarding interface supports inbound and outbound Access Control Lists (ACLs) and rate-limiting features for accounting and Service Level Agreement (SLA) enforcement. Figure 1 shows how the Brocade CER 2000, in conjunction with the Brocade MLX® Series, provides a scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN solution.
Service Management
Delivering effective MPLS services on Carrier Ethernet infrastructure requires fast fault identification and isolation. The Brocade CER 2000 supports MPLS Labeled Switch Path (LSP) pings and traceroute features to isolate any MPLSrelated connectivity issues. In addition, it supports all the capabilities of IEEE 802.1ag (Connectivity Fault Management), including Connectivity Check Messages, Loopback Message/Response, and LinkTrace Message/Response. IEEE 802.1ag, in conjunction with the MPLS OAM features, provides the capabilities to monitor, isolate, and identify connectivity problems and reduce the time to repair business VPN services. To diagnose link layer connectivity issues, the Brocade CER 2000 also supports the IEEE 802.3ah Link OAM feature. In addition, the Brocade CER 2000 is certified to comply with MEF 17 Service OAM and MEF 21 Link OAM specifications.
To simplify the manageability of MPLS services, Brocade IronView Network Manager (INM) features the MPLS Manager, which can manage VPLS and VLL services across networks that are based on Brocade Carrier Ethernet switches and routers.
Delivering High Service Levels with Advanced QoS Capabilities
Service provider business services are often tiered under different service levels, ranging from premium to “besteffort” services. At each level of service, providers must meet or exceed customer agreements—and failing to do so can lead to strict financial penalties and loss of business. As a result, Quality of Service (QoS) is a critical factor in creating selective services and meeting SLAs.
The Brocade CER 2000 supports up to eight queues per port, each with a distinct priority level—enabling service providers to sell multi-tiered business VPN services. By applying advanced QoS capabilities (such as the use of two-rate, three-color traffic policers, egress shaping, and priority remarking), service providers can offer guaranteed service levels to customers. In addition, the Brocade CER 2000 supports ingress and egress bandwidth profiles per User Network Interface (UNI) that comply with the rigid traffic management specifications of MEF 10/MEF 14.
Virtualized Domains with Multi-VRF
Just as VLANs segment a Layer 2 domain into multiple broadcast domains, Multi-Virtual Routing and Forwarding (Multi-VRF) enables a single Layer 3 domain to be segmented into multiple virtual IP domains. This enables enterprise or service provider networks to support two or more VPNs with overlapping IP address spaces on the same router or physical interface—rather than deploying multiple physical routers. Each VPN can be dedicated to traffic from a specific application or from a specific group of users for greater security and manageability.
The Brocade CER 2000 supports up to 128 VRFs and can hold a full Internet routing table inside a VRF. It also has the capability to dynamically exchange routing information within each VRF using multiple routing protocols, such as BGP, OSPF, or RIP. In addition, the Brocade CER 2000 enables route exchanges between VRFs, which helps service providers or large enterprises use a single VRF as a gateway to the Internet while running confidential mission-critical traffic in other VRFs.
Enforcing Security at the Edge
Edge routers are usually the first line of defense for service providers, either protecting their own cores or their business customers from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The Brocade CER 2000 has a comprehensive set of hardware-based security features to monitor and block unwanted traffic.
Both inbound and outbound Access Control Lists (ACLs) are supported on any kind of interface—physical, trunk groups, or virtual interfaces. In addition, the Brocade CER 2000 supports sFlowand ACL-based mirroring to help monitor malicious traffic and take preventive actions. To increase the reliability of service delivery, the Brocade CER 2000 (with the help of Receive ACLs) can defend itself against unwanted traffic targeted toward its control plane.
Software-Defined Networking
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a powerful new network paradigm that provides increased agility and programmatic control of network infrastructure, enabling a new class of IT applications to meet critical business needs. The Brocade CER 2000 enables SDN by supporting the OpenFlow protocol, which allows communication between an OpenFlow controller and the OpenFlow-enabled Brocade CER 2000 Router. The Brocade CER 2000 delivers OpenFlow 1.3 in hybrid switch mode, meaning organizations can simultaneously deploy traditional Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding with OpenFlow on the same system.
This unique capability enables network operators to integrate OpenFlow into existing networks, giving them the benefits offered by SDN for specific flows while the remaining traffic is handled the same way as before. OpenFlow 1.3 delivers a richer feature set required for commercial and enterprise networks to address complex network behavior and optimize performance for dynamic SDN applications. These features include Quality of Service (QoS), Q-in-Q, Group Tables, Active-Standby Controller, and IPv6. The Brocade CER 2000 delivers OpenFlow at scale by supporting up to 32,000 flows in a single device.
Simplified Service Management
To simplify the manageability and provisioning of Ethernet services, the Brocade CER 2000 Series leverages Brocade Network Advisor, an application that unifies network management for all Brocade products. Brocade Network Advisor provides the easy-to-use MPLS Manager, which can help configure, monitor, and manage VPLS and Virtual Leased Line (VLL) services across networks that are based on Brocade routers. In addition, the sFlow-based technology utilized by Brocade Network Advisor reduces network downtime with proactive monitoring, traffic analysis, and reporting.
Investment Protection
To help protect technology investments, the Brocade CER 2000 supports both 1 GbE and 10 GbE ports in a compact 1U device. The 24-port models are fieldupgradable to 10 GbE, enabling a scalable growth strategy and migration to 10 GbE services whenever the time is right. In addition, the Brocade CER 2000 is IPv6- ready, which enables providers to offer IPv6 services at a later stage with minimal service disruption.
The Brocade CER 2000 leverages the same Brocade Multi-Service IronWare operating system that runs on fieldproven Brocade MLX Routers as well as Brocade CES Switches. By delivering similar software functionality, Brocade enables accelerated feature delivery and greater overall stability.
