Cisco ME 3400 Series Ethernet Access Switches
Cisco
®
ME 3400 Series Ethernet Access Switches are a series of next-generation Layer 2
and Layer 3 customer-located devices for service providers. Its design is based on the
experience learned from today’s most widely deployed access switches, the Cisco
Catalyst
®
2950 and 3550 Series.
Product Overview
With service provider-friendly hardware and mission-specific software, the Cisco ME 3400 Series
is the first Cisco access switch family optimized for both Ethernet-to-the-Home (ETTH) triple-play
services and Ethernet-to-the-Business (ETTB) VPN services. It provides a complete security
solution for Metro Ethernet access that includes subscriber, switch, and network protection. The
Cisco ME 3400 Series supports multiple software images to provide a “pay-as-you-grow”
deployment model. With service breadth spanning triple-play and Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN
services, lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and operating expenses can be achieved from a
single ETTH and ETTB access solution.
