Wipro ESS solution provides a
ready to deploy layer 2 and layer 3 routing and
bridging software for enterprise switching platforms.
Wipro’s ESS solution integrates Wipro’s
IP Routing and Ethernet components to form a deployable
switch solution which make it ideal for OEM vendors
and chipset vendors looking at crashing their
product development times.
ESS reference solution is used
in enterprise network either to directly connect
to the end hosts or to other enterprise network
elements or connect to a metro/core device. It
facilitates bridging and other layer 2 functionalities
support like MAC bridging, VLAN support, port
authentication, link aggregation, MSTPetc. It
provides Layer 3 IPv4 traffic forwarding with
support to various unicast routing protocols such
as OSPF, RIP, BGP (optional), and multicast protocols
like IGMP, IGMP proxy, DVMRP. In order to facilitate
network availability and router redundancy, VRRP
is supported. The ESS solution also provides features
like inter VLAN routing, Integrated Bridging and/or
Routing etc.
The primary purpose of ESS solution
is to provide a multilayer switch software solution
incorporating switching and IP forwarding at Layer
2 and Layer 3 along with multicast support for
Enterprise network devices
The solution can be easily ported
on to a router platform with minimal efforts to
provide ESS functionality on the device. CLI is
provided for easy configuration of the solution.
Also any component of the ESS solution could be
integrated to an existing platform to enhance
the features of a router to support ESS.
