RA341937 - NetworkSwitchGear
Notice Description
Notes ----- The successful bidder will be given more information about the network post award, for security reasons only basic information is provided below. Wigston - Existing equipment. ----------------------------- The Core switch currently is an Extreme Networks Black Diamond 8100 with 12x10gbps XFP ports. This connects to 5 stacks of Extreme Summit switches which will be replaced at a later stage, 30 switches in all (1440 ports). Wigston connects back to Hinckley for internet and system access. Hinckley - Existing equipment. ------------------------------ The Core switch currently is a Cisco Catalyst 4510R+E with Sup7A line cards. This switch uplinks to a mixture of POE and non POE 2960 series Catalyst switches 23 units in total. The Hinckley core switch is technically the hub of the network with our Firewall being located at this site and 1gbps intersite links from all other campuses ingress here for internet access. Connectivity from core switch to edge switch is provided by means of x2 1gbps LACP RJ45 connections, therefore the Hinckley campus will initially require more copper connectivity until such time as the edge equipment is replaced with 10gbps uplink capable equipment. Due to time constraints and other projects we do not require quotes for the edge equipment described above. This initial engagement is to replace two campuses core switch equipment only. Objectives. ----------- To have a fully supported core switch from the manufacturer where firmwares are updated frequently to mitigate security risks and foster a stronger more secure network. To provide easier management functionality using cloud technologies To harmonise, in the longer term all networking vendor equipment to one brand and model set to provide more agile solutions to networking changes throughout the equipment lifecycle. Features required. ------------------ The switches must have following minimum feature set: VLAN support, Layer3 Routing, ACLs, 802.1x, LLDP, QoS, Port Mirroring, Traffic Monitoring, Configuration Templates, Dual PSUs, Modular Field Replaceable Fans, stacking by means of dedicated stacking cables - Please provide DATASHEET detailing all feature sets for the equipment to be supplied.
