Resilient
VCStack provides fast failover for uninterrupted network service.
Sophisticated high availability features ensure traffic flow continues even
during outages.

during outages.
VCStack
VCStack delivers a resilient core at a fraction of the cost of a full chassis-based
system. You can create a single "virtual chassis" from two physical devices,
using the two high speed stacking connectors on the rear of the chassis.
Each connector can provide 80Gbps of stacking bandwidth. VCStack provides
a highly available system where network resources are spread out across
stacked units, reducing the impact should one of the stacked units fail. You can
aggregate switch ports on different units, for excellent high availability.

Control Plane Prioritization (CPP)
Ensure maximum performance and prevent network outages with CPP.
CPP prevents the Control Plane from becoming flooded in the event of a
network storm or Denial of Service (DoS) attack, ensuring critical network
control traffic always reaches its destination.

Our high speed XEMs provide both copper and fiber connectivity, delivering
the ultimate in flexibility. XEM options are:
• AT-XEM-1XP - 1 x 10GbE (XFP)
• AT-XEM-2XP - 2 x 10GbE (XFP)
• AT-XEM-12S - 12 x 100/1000BASE-X SFP ports
• AT-XEM-12T - 12 x 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) ports

All XEMs provide non-blocking performance. XEMs are ideal for aggregating
gigabit to the desktop or for gigabit uplinks from Fast Ethernet switches.

The SwitchBlade x908 switch operates with one PSU - installing a second
PSU provides redundancy. Internal PSUs eliminate the need for an external
Redundant Power Supply (RPS), which occupies valuable rack space. Built-in
redundancy guarantees the continued delivery of essential services.

High-performing
Enjoy low latency and wirespeed L3 routing in a compact 3 rack unit device,
combined with a 640Gbps switching fabric. Non-blocking architecture and
superior QoS ensure wire-speed delivery of critical IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Ethernet Protected Switched Rings (EPSRing
TM
)
EPSR and 10 GbE modules allow the SwitchBlade x908, with a number of
x900 switches or iMAPs, to form a protected ring with 50ms failover - perfect
for high performance at the core of Enterprise or Provider Access networks.

Wire speed switching
The SwitchBlade x908 has fully non-blocking switching on all ports, so IPv4
and IPv6 Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing occur at wire speed. This is
ideal for high-end server deployments, and, when combined with a large L3
route table, for aggregating gigabit connections.

Industry-leading Quality of Service (QoS)
Comprehensive low-latency wire-speed QoS provides flow-based traffic
management with full classification, prioritization, traffic shaping and min/max
bandwidth profiles. Enjoy boosted network performance and guaranteed
delivery of business-critical Ethernet services and applications. Time-critical
services like voice and video applications take precedence over non-essential
services like file downloads, maintaining responsiveness of Enterprise
applications. Unmatched QoS accuracy is achieved with a bandwidth limit
resolution down to 1Kbps, which is ideal for precise control of Enterprise
desktop-based VoIP applications.

Secure
Advanced security features protect your network - from the edge to the core.
Network Access Control (NAC)
NAC allows for unprecedented control over user access to the network, in
order to mitigate threats to network infrastructure. The SwitchBlade x908
supports NAC by using 802.1x port-based authentication in partnership with
standards-compliant dynamic VLAN assignment to enable a user’s adherence
to the network’s security policies to be assessed, and either authentication
granted or remediation offered.

to the network’s security policies to be assessed, and either authentication

Allied Telesis NAC also supports alternatives to 802.1x port-based
authentication, such as web authentication to enable guest access, and
MAC authentication for end points that do not have an 802.1x supplicant.
Furthermore, if multiple users share a port then multi-authentication can be
used and a Guest VLAN (also known as Default VLAN) can be configured to
provide a catch-all for users without an 802.1x supplicant.

Additional security features include a full RADIUS client and server
implementation for remote and local user authentication, Private VLANs to
provide port isolation when multiple customer use the same VLAN, and STP
