Built for service providers, these multilayer customer-located switches allow you to deploy Ethernet-to-the-home (ETTH) "triple play" services and Ethernet-to-the-business (ETTB) VPN services. Based on today's most widely deployed access switches, the Cisco Catalyst 2950 and 3550 Series, the Cisco ME 3400 Series provides service provider-friendly hardware and mission-specific software: • A single ETTH and ETTB access solution to help reduce total ownership costs and operating expenses • Compact form factors for ease of deployment • Only front connectors to simplify access (except for ME-3400G-2CS-A) • NEBS Level 3 and ETSI certification (ME-3400G-2CS-A is only NEBS3 certified) • Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) 9 and 14 certification • Support for multiple software images The switches feature comprehensive security capabilities: • Network-based security to protect the network from unauthorized traffic • Switch security to help maintain continuous switch operation • Subscriber security to shield subscribers from other malicious users
