Nortel Access Stack Node ASN2 Base Unit

Nortel Access Stack Node ASN2 Base Unit ... operating in the ASN provides features for today's evolving Internetworks with migration to the future of switched intra- and internetworking. The ASN provides seamless integration of multiple units stacked together for management as a single router. This architecture eases the management of a growing network because adding interfaces beyond a unit's capacity does not require replacement of routers - or additional complexity - in the network.

The ASN maximizes connectivity and enhances interoperability by supporting all major network and bridging protocols, wide area services, and IBM standards. Additionally, the ASN's fault-resilient system software ensures high network availability. The ASN uses a highly scalable architecture, which provides cost-effective, growth-oriented solutions for enterprise network centers.
