Interoperability Evaluation

Abstract

Enterasys Networks, commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate five of its enterprise-class LAN switches and routers for interoperability with other vendors’ switches.

Enterasys switches and routers demonstrated interoperability with other brand switches when subjected to advanced LAN services tests, including support for auto-negotiation, 802.1p/Q VLAN tag propagation, RIP v2, OSPF, BGP4, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (IEEE 802.1s), etc.

Tests were conducted in March-April 2007 at Terremark Worldwide Inc.’s world-class NAP of the Americas facility in Miami, a major Internet peering point for carriers and service providers.
