For this test, the Entera-
sys switches tested
demonstrated inter-
operability with all
switches from 3Com,
Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco,
Extreme Networks,
Foundry Networks,
Fujitsu, HP and IBM
Nortel.
Multiple Spanning
Tree Protocol
Support
This verifies that the
Enterasys equipment
tested implemented
multiple Spanning Tree
instances on a switch port
to selectively allow or
block multiple VLANs
without blocking traffic
traversing the port.
Layer 3
Functions
RIP V2 Routing
Protocol
Support
This test verifies that the
switches exchanged IPv4
routing table information
via RIP v2 protocol. The
Enterasys switches inter-
operated with switches
from 3Com, Alcatel-
Lucent, Cisco, Extreme
Networks, Foundry
Networks, IBM Nortel
and HP.
OSPF Support
Tolly Group engineers
verified that the Enterasys
routers exchanged routing
table information via
OSPF with other brand
switches. This feature was
only supported and tested
on the Enterasys Matrix
N DFE and Matrix X
Secure Core Router.
Tests show that the two
Enterasys routers share OSPF
routing table data with
participating switches from
3Com, Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco,
Extreme Networks, Foundry
Networks, IBM Nortel and HP.
(See Figure 3.)
BGP4 Support
Devices earning this certifi-
cation have demonstrated the
ability to share routing infor-
mation via BGP v4 with all
possible vendor combinations.
This feature was only supported
on the Enterasys Matrix X
Secure Core Router, which
interoperated with devices from
Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Extreme
Networks, Foundry Networks,
and IBM Nortel. (See Figure 3.)
VRRP Support
Devices earning this certifi-
cation have demonstrated
interoperability using VRRP in
both Master and Backup config-
urations with all possible vendor
combinations.
