Avaya Plug and Play Switches
Avaya engaged Miercom to evaluate the plug and play features and ease of configuration of the ERS 4548GT- PWR Edge Switch. The energy efficiency of the ERS was compared to similar switches and is discussed in this report as well.
The Ethernet Routing Switch (ERS) 4548GT-PW was used since the size and feature set of this switch is most common across enterprise implementations. Although there are seemingly no exact comparisons among other vendors, the switches that were selected by Avaya were based upon the features and size that most closely matched the ERS 4548GT-PWR.
