Specifications include, but are not limited to: NETWORK EQUIPMENT MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS The network services shall be available next business day, and post installation support available. Identify and inventory all new equipment. Apply District asset tag and label network related equipment according to District Technology Services labelling scheme and layout. Firmware update and configuration of network devices according to approved district firmware and configuration. Transport all network equipment from designated district storage location to designated Site. At each MDF/IDF location, identify all cabling and VLAN association attached to the existing network equipment in IDF before installation of new equipment. Remove existing network devices and provide an inventory list on district provided surplus equipment form (include district asset tags where applicable) of all equipment removed from site and IDF locations to District Technology Services. Install the new network equipment into containment in MDF/IDF according to approved network elevation layout. Patch in all terminated horizontal cabling, and any other identified network devices within the MDF/IDF network closet. Test and validate on each VLAN network can connect to the internet from each installed network device. Provide post installation image of the MDF/IDF network closets once completed. Images can be submitted as PDF or JPG files to the HUSD IT Department. Provide closeout documents for each site with breakdown inventory of each MDF/IDF network closet. Closeout documents will be submitted to the HUSD IT Department All services must be provided solely by a single vendor. If proposed switches/routers are too deep for current equipment cabinets, please include a replacement cabinet(s) in proposal. Exhibit A contains dimensions for all MDF and IDF cabinets. Exhibit B contains photos of all IDFs and MDFs. IDF ACCESS SWITCH MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS Power will be standard NEMA 5-15 All switches must contain 48 RJ45 Ethernet ports 12 mGig connections per IDF and are highly desired for wireless access point connectivity All Ethernet ports will deliver a minimum of 1gb to all end users and devices All Ethernet Ports will be POE+ Capable Minimum of 2 SFP Ports Capable of minimum 10gb with 25gb or 40gb capability highly desired Field replaceable/redundant power supplies Full layer 3 switch with support for standard routing protocols Stacking for up to 7 switches highly desired Anticipated number of new switches is 545, replacing 508 current switches with some expansion at some IDFs/MDFs. See Exhibit A for per site breakdowns. Any IDF or MDF noting ‘yes’ under ‘Capacity Needed’ will have one switch added accounting for the increased number. MDF ROUTING AND AGGREGATE SWITCHING MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS Power will be standard NEMA 5-15 Current routers are split between 16 port and 32 port (refer to Exhibit A) across school and support sites. Proposed solution must have the same minimum number of ports at each site, however standardizing on a single router model with a minimum of 32 ports is acceptable. All ports must support a minimum of 10gb with SFP connections. Routers capable of speeds of 25gb or 40gb are highly desired but not required. Field replaceable/redundant power supplies Currently there are 21 16-port routers and 6 32-port routers for a total of 27 routers not including the main datacenter.
