Allied Telesis x900-12x - Manual

Key Features
Performance
• Layer 2 and 3 switching and routing at
wire-speed
• Full IPv4 routing
• IPv6 routing option
• Built from a 168Gbps switch fabric yielding
71.4 Million packets per second performance
(x900-24X)
• Provides up to 256K IPv4 route entries
• Supports full 4096 VLANs
• Supports 4096 Layer 3 interfaces
• VLAN double tagging
• Private VLANs, providing security and port
isolation of multiple customers using the
same VLAN
• Supports 10KB Jumbo frame size for data
center and server aggregation applications
• Gigabit SFP ports will support any
combination of 10/100/1000BASE-T,
100BASE-X, or 1000BASE-X SFPs
• Extensive wire-speed traffic classification for
ACLs and QoS
• Advanced routing protocols OSPF, BGP-4, RIP,
RIPv2, RIPng, PIM-SM.
• DHCP Option 82
• Wire-speed multicasting
Reliability and Future Proofing
• 60Gbps expansion bays support a choice of
modules, including 1x 10GbE, 12 x 1GbE
(SFP), 12 x 1GbE (RJ45), and stacking, for
port flexibility and application versatility
• 1RU form factor, high port density and
front-to-back cooling, ideal for high density
rack and wiring closet installations
• For the x900-24X: Eliminates the need for
redundant power supplies by providing
power supplies that are hot-swappable and
load-sharing
• Full environmental monitoring of PSUs, fans,
temperature and internal voltages, with
SNMP traps to alert network managers in
case of any failure
Quality of Service
• Policy based QoS features
• Highly configurable traffic classification
• Buffered multiple packet remarking options
at egress on all ports, and on each of 8
egress queues per port
• Two-rate three-color (green, yellow, red)
bandwidth metering
• Low switching latency essential for Voice over IP
(VoIP) and real-time streaming media applications
Resiliency
• Stack multiple units with the XEM-STK 2
• STP, RSTP, MSTP (802.1s)
• Port trunking (802.3ad LACP)
• VRRP
• EPSR
Management
• Out of band 10/100/1000 Ethernet
management port and asynchronous
management port, both on the front panel
for ease of access
• An SD memory card socket on the front
panel, allowing software release files,
configurations and other files to be stored for
backup and distribution to other switches
• Port mirroring
• SSH and SNMPv3 for secure management
• 802.1x support
• RMON (4 groups)
1 NEBS (Network Equipment Building System) is a series
of safety and conformance standards applied to
telecommunications equipment in North America.
2 AlliedWare Plus software release 5.2.1 supports
stacking of 2 x900-24X units. Support for more than 2
x900-24X units and the x900-12XT/S will be in a
future release.

Unmatched Flexibility
The x900 Layer 3+ switches have high-speed
60Gbps expansion bays which provide a high level
of port flexibility and application versatility
unmatched by any other 1RU Gigabit Ethernet
switch on the market.The expansion modules can
be used in a variety of configurations to provide
tailored solutions that meet wide-ranging physical
networking requirements.
10GbE expansion modules and hot-swappable
XFPs provide high-speed, high-capacity fiber
uplinks, with the option of either 10Gbps or
20Gbps uplink capacity to the network core.
Resiliency can be achieved by using 10GbE
modules and MSTP (802.1s) for fast failover on link
failure.This is suitable for wiring closet aggregation
of gigabit to the desktop links and aggregating
gigabit uplinks from other network switches.
Ethernet Protected Switched Rings (EPSR) and
10 GbE modules allow several x900-24X
switches to form a protected ring with sub
50ms failover.This feature is perfect for high
performance at the core of enterprise or
provider access networks.
