LANCOM YS-7154CF

25G stackable fiber aggregation switch for campus networks

In data-intensive, distributed campus networks, the LANCOM YS-7154CF ensures the necessary performance and high availability of network resources. With 48x 25G SFP28 and 6x 100G QSFP28 ports, the switch offers maximum connection flexibility in mixed 1G-100G environments, providing a total of 3.6 Tbps switch capacity. Depending on the size of the installation, the LANCOM YS-7154CF can be integrated either as an aggregation switch (distribution base) between core and access switches (three-tier design) or as a core switch resp. “collapsed backbone” at the top level to the WAN (two-tier design) to create hierarchical switch infrastructures. Reliable, high-performance operation even in bandwidth-intensive networks is ensured by Virtual Port Channel (VPC) or stacking. Additional fail-safety is provided by two redundant power supply units, five hot-swappable fan modules, and a selectable cooling concept. Centralized network management with real-time monitoring of the device status is automated and location-independent via the LANCOM Management Cloud or using the industry-standard web GUI and CLI.

Highlights

Multi-Gigabit performance with 54 industry-standard ports

With 48x SFP28 and 6x QSFP28 ports, the LANCOM YS-7154CF offers the necessary port density and wire-speed performance to build a future-proof campus network: Transfer rates of up to 100 Gbps and a data throughput of 1.8 Tbps ensure reliable network infrastructures that can cope with the increasing demands of IoT, mobile devices, and cloud applications, even at high utilization rates. In addition, all ports of the LANCOM YS-7154CF are available natively and comply with the industry standard. This eliminates the need for a costly modular design and avoids the purchase of proprietary accessories when switching to LANCOM core switches. Conversely, this ensures a low total cost of ownership (TCO).

Network design with 100% uptime via VPC

Virtual Port Channel (VPC), or Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group (MC-LAG), is the preferred solution for increasing the reliability of large network infrastructures. If you link two LANCOM YS-7154CF in a VPC network and connect the underlying network components redundantly, the other switch remains active in the event of a failure or during in-service software update (ISSU) of one of the VPC-connected switches, thus ensuring 100% uptime. This is possible because both switches remain physically independent devices that merely form a virtual network. In addition, the link speed of the underlying network components is multiplied, as a VPC network allows multiple connections to the underlying level (active/active). For constant data forwarding, the switches exchange important information about the network, such as MAC tables, via their peer link.

Flexible, investment-proof network topologies with high-performance stacking

As a high-performance distribution instance for setting up hierarchical switch infrastructures, the LANCOM YS-7154CF flexibly networks aggregation and access switches in large, distributed enterprise networks. Thanks to stacking functions, a network uptime of almost 100% can be realized, as several physical switches are combined and efficiently managed as one logical unit. In the event of a firmware update, the stack is restarted, for which a maintenance window must be scheduled. The entire stack can be conveniently managed and monitored via cloud-managed switch stacking using the LANCOM Management Cloud.

The LANCOM YS-7154CF is equipped as standard with two hot-swappable power supply units for fast and uninterrupted replacement. Additional load capacity is provided by five replaceable fans (with n+1 redundancy). These can also be removed during operation. The switch achieves optimum cooling performance in the rack environment thanks to two hardware variants with different airflow designs and matching power supply units and fans: With a front-to-back or back-to-front airflow direction (F2B variant / B2F variant), the LANCOM YS-7154CF meets the different cooling requirements. This extends the service life of the product and increases the flexibility of use.

Configurable access control & secure remote management

The LANCOM YS-7154CF stops rogue clients from gaining unauthorized access to the network. This is ensured by secured access control on all ports as per IEEE 802.1X (port-based, single, multi, and MAC-based) or by ACLs (access control lists). Thanks…

The LANCOM YS-7154CF stops rogue clients from gaining unauthorized access to the network. This is ensured by secured access control on all ports as per IEEE 802.1X (port-based, single, multi, and MAC-based) or by ACLs (access control lists). Thanks to secure communication protocols such as SSH, SSL, and SNMPv3, professional remote management of the network is possible. The switch also supports the TACACS+ protocol for authentication, authorization, and accounting. This optimized solution promises maximum security for multi-site network management and monitoring.

Full layer 3 functionality

The LANCOM YS-7154CF is capable of performing layer 3 tasks such as DHCP server functionality, i.e. IP address management, or the predefinition of network routes across one or more network segments. Thanks to dynamic routing, the switch can also react quickly to network changes. The optimal route for data traffic within the network is thus…

The LANCOM YS-7154CF is capable of performing layer 3 tasks such as DHCP server functionality, i.e. IP address management, or the predefinition of network routes across one or more network segments. Thanks to dynamic routing, the switch can also react quickly to network changes. The optimal route for data traffic within the network is thus constantly redefined by the LANCOM YS-7154CF based on the load level. This results in a load reduction on the router, so that these capacities are then additionally available for handling external data traffic and increase the efficiency of the entire network.

Cloud-managed LAN with port templates and Secure Terminal Access

With the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) and Cloud-managed LAN, the LANCOM YS-7154CF offers quick and easy network integration as well as automatic provision of the configuration across locations with the a click of a mouse. Time-consuming individual device and switch port configurations are now a matter of the past. The targeted switch rollout via the LMC enables automatic VLAN assignment to switch ports including practical switch port profiles and therefore “zero-touch” assignment to the devices – a major efficiency gain, especially for stack units and with different port assignments at different locations.

Secure Terminal Access provides access to the command line of the LANCOM switch ("CLI tunneling") directly from the LANCOM Management Cloud – encrypted and without leaving the cloud interface. Secure Terminal Access provides expert functions as well as extensive diagnostic and troubleshooting commands for the devices. Some highlights include: “trace” and “ping” commands for quick troubleshooting, access to low-level configuration parameters and detailed statistics of the LCOS SX operating system as well as secure remote access to third-party devices in the local network via the integrated SSH client.
