NetVanta 1524ST
Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
The NetVanta 1524ST is the first in a series
of Gigabit Ethernet switches from ADTRAN.
Offered at a price point less than half the cost
of other 24-port Layer 2 Gigabit switches,
this product is setting a new standard for
affordable higher bandwidth and Gigabit-
to-the-desktop deployments. Ideal for new
installations or network upgrades, these
switches can provide higher bandwidth
for corporate and branch office Local Area
Networks (LANs) to support today’s most
bandwidth intensive applications.
Hardware
The NetVanta 1524ST rackmount switch
provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, consisting
of 20 fixed 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
ports and four combo 10/100/1000Base-T/
Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports.
The 10/100/1000Base-T ports provide
auto-rate, auto-duplexing, and auto-MDI/
MDI-X sensing. The SFP slots are available
to accommodate optical interfaces using
industry-standard SFP modules. The 1524ST
can support up to 16 units stacked together
and is easily managed with a single IP
address for the entire stack.
Standards Protocols
Based on the ADTRAN Operating System
(AOS), these devices offer support for Link
Aggregation (802.3ad), Port Mirroring, port-
based switching features including Storm
Control, Spanning Tree (802.1D) and Rapid
Spanning Tree (802.1w) for faster network
convergence, link redundancy, and recovery
from topology changes. Link Layer Discovery
Protocol (LLDP) auto-discovers neighboring
Ethernet devices, simplifying integration into
multi-vendor environments.
VLANs
All NetVanta switches support 802.1Q
trunking and up to 255 port-based
VLANs to allow network managers to
separate broadcast domains for efficient
network performance and traffic control.
To help aid configuration in larger networks,
Generic VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP)
is also available.
Security
Rest assured, with the NetVanta 1524ST your
network is protected. These products offer
a variety of data security features including
MAC-based port security, multilevel user
passwords, Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) for encrypted user login,
and Access Authenthication and Authorization
(AAA) for authentication with RADIUS, RSA
SecurID, and TACACS+.
QoS
NetVanta switches also support QoS to
ensure network managers have the ability
to prioritize mission-critical traffic and control
network congestion. The NetVanta 1524ST
offers 802.1p Class of Service (CoS). Each
switch supports frame tagging as well as
enforcement of tagged traffic received from
trusted sources. Two egress queues (per port)
are available for assigning traffic priorities
using Strict Priority Queuing.
Administration
The AOS offers both a CLI that mimics the
widely deployed, industry de facto standard
and an intuitive Web-based GUI with step-
by-step configuration wizards. For centralized
enterprise-wide management scheme,
ADTRAN offers n-Command, an intuitive,
scalable software suite for managing firm-
ware revisions, push firmware upgrades and
configuration changes, backup and restore
configurations, and manage security policies
and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
NetVanta 1000 Series of Ethernet switches
are easily coupled with other ADTRAN inter-
networking products including switch-routers,
access routers, and multiservice access routers.
All these solutions are backed by ADTRAN’s
industry-leading support and services.
