ENTERASYS NETWORKS N-SERIES MATRIX SOLUTIONS

Configuration Notes

The Enterasys Matrix N1, N3 and N7 are the first in a new generation of enterprise switching solutions. Providing intelligent switching at user and server access points, the Matrix N3 and Matrix N7 are ideal for premium edge, collapsed backbone, distribution switching, and server farm aggregation applications, including performance networking, business-critical applications, end-to-end security, and voice. Distributed Forwarding Engines (DFEs), the modules for the Matrix N-Series, have been designed to deliver high performance and flexibility to ensure comprehensive switching, routing, Quality of Service, security, and traffic containment unmatched by competitive solutions. The Matrix N-Series supports Platinum and Gold DFEs.  The Platinum DFE is optimized for higher feature, higher performance end-to-end connectivity, while the Gold DFE is optimized for edge-only connectivity.

Note: All DFEs ship with Enterasys' Operating System (EOS), which includes the features described in the data sheet. The only exception is the advanced routing features that are provided through a software license (N-EOS-L3).
1. Distributed Forwarding Engines (DFEs) can be installed in any slot in the Matrix N7, N3 or E7 chassis. 
2. The Matrix N7 and E7 can support up to seven DFE modules with the 1600W AC power supply (part number 6C207-3). 
3. The Matrix N3 can support up to three DFE modules with the 863W AC Power Supply (part number 7C203-1). 
4. DFE part number 7H4382-49 can be used either to bridge the FTM1 and FTM2 backplanes in the Matrix E7 chassis or to support the DFE Network Expansion Module (NEM). 
5. DFE part number 7H4382-49 supports only the DFE NEM. It does not support Enterasys VHSIM or HSIM.

1. Gold Distributed Forwarding Engines (DFEs) are designed to work seamlessly with other Gold DFEs in the same chassis; however, they cannot be mixed with Platinum DFEs in the same chassis. 
2. By default, the Gold DFE does not provide high availability (system redundancy).To get 1+1 redundancy, the N-EOS-RED software license must be purchased and installed. 
3. Basic EOS routing is included with each Gold DFE. EOS supports static routes and RIP. 
4. Only one Advanced Routing Module (N-EOS-L3) is required per chassis (N3 or N7). 
5. The Advanced Routing Package (N-EOS-L3) includes OSPF, DVMRP, and PIM-SM.
