• 2.5 Gigabit
• 5 Gigabit
• 10 Gigabit
• 25 Gigabit on compatible 1760-12F SFP28 ports

ADTRAN Fiber Aggregation Switches

The NetVanta 1760 Series is particularly well suited to fiber aggregation.

Fiber aggregation switches consolidate traffic from multiple network segments and forward it through higher-bandwidth uplinks toward core infrastructure.

Applications can include:

• Campus distribution
• Building aggregation
• Enterprise network cores
• Server rooms
• Fiber access networks
• Multi-building facilities

What Is an Aggregation Switch?

An aggregation switch sits between access-layer switches and higher-level core or routing infrastructure.

Its role is to consolidate traffic from multiple network segments while providing sufficient uplink bandwidth to avoid bottlenecks.

ADTRAN Access vs. Aggregation Switching

Access switch: Connects endpoint devices such as computers, phones, cameras, and wireless access points.

Aggregation switch: Combines traffic from multiple access switches and forwards it toward higher-capacity network infrastructure.

The NetVanta 1760 family can perform aggregation or high-bandwidth access roles depending on network design.

Layer 3 ADTRAN NetVanta 1700 Switches

NetVanta 1760 switches support non-blocking Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking.

Layer 3 capabilities include support for:

• Static routing
• RIP
• OSPF
• IPv4 routing

Static Routing

Static routing allows administrators to manually define network paths between connected networks.

This can be useful in predictable enterprise environments where routing topology changes infrequently.

OSPF Support

The NetVanta 1760 Series supports OSPF for dynamic Layer 3 routing.

OSPF can automatically exchange routing information between compatible routers and Layer 3 switches.

IPv4 & IPv6 Routing

NetVanta 1760 switches support both IPv4 and IPv6 routing functionality for organizations maintaining dual-stack or next-generation network environments.

Inter-VLAN Routing

Layer 3 switching allows the NetVanta 1760 Series to route traffic between VLANs without requiring all local traffic to pass through an external router.

This can simplify network designs containing separate:

• User VLANs
• Server VLANs
• Voice VLANs
• Security-camera VLANs
• IoT VLANs
• Management VLANs

ADTRAN NetVanta 1700 VLAN Support

The NetVanta 1760 Series supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN switching and trunking.

ADTRAN documentation specifies support for thousands of VLANs on the current platform, making the switches suitable for complex segmented enterprise networks.

VLAN Trunking

VLAN trunking allows multiple logical networks to share one physical switch connection.

Trunk links are commonly used between:

• Switches
• Routers
• Firewalls
• Virtualization hosts
• Other network infrastructure

ADTRAN Voice VLAN Support

Multiple Spanning Tree

Multiple Spanning Tree allows different VLAN groups to use separate spanning-tree instances for more flexible Layer 2 network design.

Ethernet Ring Protection Switching

The NetVanta 1760 Series supports G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching.

ERPS is designed to provide rapid network recovery in compatible Ethernet ring topologies.

This can be particularly useful in:

• Campus networks
• Multi-building environments

• Fiber-ring architectures

ADTRAN High-Availability Switching

High availability requires more than raw port speed.

NetVanta 1760 infrastructure supports technologies that can improve network resilience, including:

• Link aggregation
• Spanning Tree

• Redundant power on the 1760-12F

NetVanta 1760-12F Redundant Power

The NetVanta 1760-12F supports an optional secondary hot-swappable AC power supply.

Adding the second supported PSU can reduce dependence on a single internal power supply.

Hummingbird Networks currently carries the compatible NetVanta 1760-12F power supply.

NetVanta 1760 Hot-Swappable Power Supply

Hot-swappable power allows a failed supply to be replaced under supported conditions while the second power supply keeps the switch operating.

This can improve serviceability in critical enterprise environments.

NetVanta 1760-12F Power Supply Part Number

The optional redundant AC power supply for the NetVanta 1760-12F is ADTRAN part number 17101760PF1.
