> Subject: [c-nsp] Data Center Core Switches
> 
> Dear Experts,
> 
> I am in the process to acquire and implement network infrastructure
> solution by upgrading the Data Center Core Switches with a very high
> forwarding rate at least 500 Mpps and above, by using the following
> (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION)
> 
> 
> 1. Modular Switch with Minimum 8 slots
> 
> 2. Minimum switching capacity per slot 200Gbps
> 
> 3. Switching capacity for chassis minimum 5Tbps
> 
> 4. All major components including but not limited to control plane and
> power supply should be redundant where failure in one component will not
> cause any
> failure.
> 
> 5. The switch must support virtualization where 2 switches can act as one
> switch eliminating need for spanning tree.
> 
> 6. Energy saving (power consumption to be provided)
> 
> 7. Supports for the following:
> a. VRRP
> b. NSR: Non-Stop Routing and Non-Stop Forwarding.
> c. Stateful or Graceful Switchover. Or equivalent.
> d. BFD bidirectional Forwarding Detection
> e. Hot Swappable modules.
> 
> 8. The vendor should provide all licenses to support IPv4 and IPv6 full
> features.
> 
> 9. Non-blocking, 1 and 10GE design
> 
> 10. Support at least 500 Mpps
> 
> 11. 10GE wire speed to provide adequate support for future collaboration
> applications (video, voice and high bandwidth apps)
> 
> 12. Future support of 40 and 100 GE
> 
> 13. The Switch should support, but not be limited to the following Layer3
> Protocols:
> a. Static IP routing
> b. Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and RIP2
> c. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
> d. BGP
> 
> 14. The switch must support IP multicast protocols
> a. IGMP v1, v2, and v3
> b. IGMP Snooping
> c. PIM-SM, PIM DM, PIM-SSM
> 
> 15. The switch should support the following features at a minimum:
> a. Spanning Tree 802.1D, 802.1s, 802.1w
> b. 802.1X single and multi-supplicant: VLAN and ACL assignment
> c. DHCP Snooping, IP source guard
> d. LLDP, LLDP-MED
> e. 802.3ad
> f. Must support Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) in hardware to enable
> VPN services within the campus.
> g. SNMP Support v1,2,3
> 
> The above spec could apply to juniper, cisco, hp, xtreme ...etc, any
> recommendation should I add/adjust to my  TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
