in mission-critical enterprise and service provider
networks. It is ideally suited as a backbone and
aggregation node in a network, providing Layer 2
connectivity for multiple locations and access to the
Layer 3 WAN access points.

OVERVIEW The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 Ethernet Service Switch (ESS)

is a feature-rich MPLS-based switch/router designed to

The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS overcomes the limitations

imposed by traditional Ethernet switches with features

The Alcatel-Lucent 7450 ESS provides scalable

performance and port density in five chassis

aggregate and switch voice, video, and data traffic in like hierarchical quality of service (H-QoS) and MPLS configurations: 12-slot 7450 ESS-12, 7-slot 7450 ESS-7,

mission-critical enterprise and service provider resiliency. It sets a new market standard for the 6-slot 7450 ESS-6, 6-slot 7450 ESS-6v, and 1-slot 7450

options

SMALL FOOTPRINT
• Leads the industry in rack density (by two to competing Layer 2/Layer 3 Ethernet switches
three times per rack) when compared with with 100 Gb/s architecture

FUTURE-READY
• Enables quick and painless adaptation and
upgrades to new and evolving standards using
programmable fast path
