The scope of this project is to upgrade the network switches and battery backup units throughout JonesWheat Primary School . NETWORK SWITCHES DCBOE currently uses Alcatel - Lucent Enterprise network switches . If a different brand is proposed , vendor must provide a temporary demo unit for DCBOE to confirm its compatibility and functionality . The school ’ s existing network switches are to be replaced with new network switches by vendor ’ s licensed engineer ( no subcontractors ). Vendor is to configure and test the new network switches . All proposed network switches must support all the following requirements as well as the individual requirements listed on pages 8 - 10 . These features and the ability to manage these features must not require the use of cloud - based services . Any required license to use and manage these features must be perpetual . • Command - based management through a local console port • Command - based management through a remote SSH connection • Switch stacking • VLAN port assignments • VLAN trunking ( 802 . 1q ) • Spanning Tree Protocol ( STP ) support • Port teaming ( LACP and static teaming ) • QoS • 802 . 1X port authentication with VLAN assignment through a remote RADIUS server • MAC - based port authentication with VLAN assignment through a remote RADIUS server • The compatibility of any included SFP or SFP + ports must not be locked to only work with modules from the switch manufacturer . • Manufacturer - provided firmware for security updates and bug fixes during the duration of the warranty UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES All proposed uninterruptable power supplies must meet the requirements that are listed below , as well as the individual requirements specified on pages 8 - 10 . • 120 - volt NEMA 5 - 15 for input and output • Rack mountable • Replaceable batteries • Automatic voltage regulation ( AVR ) • Output power as pure sine wave • Equipped with a network management card which provides the following capabilities : o Complete local network management with no requirement of cloud services o Ability to send all alerts including power events and battery replacement notices through an SMTP email server , SNMP traps , and remote syslog events .
