Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF)
» Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) is a
sophisticated suite of management tools that provide
a simplified approach to network management.
Common tasks are automated or made so simple that
the every-day running of a network can be achieved
without the need for highly-trained, and expensive,
network engineers. Powerful features like centralized
management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto-
provisioning and auto-recovery enable plug-and-play
networking and zero-touch management.
VCStack (Virtual Chassis Stacking)
» Create a VCStack of up to eight units with 48Gbps
of stacking bandwidth to each unit. Stacking
links are connected in a ring so each device has
dual connections to further improve resiliency.
VCStack provides a highly available system where
network resources are spread out across stacked
units, reducing the impact if one of the units fails.
Aggregating switch ports on different units across the
stack provides excellent network resiliency.
Long-distance Stacking
» Long-distance stacking allows a VCStack to
be created over longer distances, perfect for a
distributed network environment.
EPSRing (Ethernet Protection Switched Ring)
» EPSRing and 10 Gigabit Ethernet allow several x610
switches to form a high-speed protected ring capable
of recovery within as little as 50ms. This feature is
perfect for high performance and high availability in
enterprise networks.
» SuperLoop Protection (SLP) enables a link between
two EPSR nodes to be in separate EPSR domains,
improving redundancy and network fault resiliency.
Easy to Manage
» Allied Telesis x610 Layer 3+ switches run the
advanced AlliedWare Plus™ Layer 3 fully featured
operating system, delivering a rich feature set and an
industry-standard CLI. In addition to the CLI, x610
switches feature a comprehensive GUI for easy
access to monitoring and configuration.
Key Features
Industry leading Quality of Service (QoS)
» Comprehensive low-latency wirespeed 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 such
as voice and video take precedence over non-
essential services such as file downloads,
maintaining responsiveness of Enterprise applications.
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
» With PoE, a separate power connection to media
endpoints such as IP phones and wireless access
points is not necessary. PoE+ provides even greater
flexibility, providing the capability to connect devices
requiring more power (up to 30 Watts)—for example,
tilt and zoom security cameras.
» Build a redundant PoE+ high-availability solution
using VCStack and additional RPS units. See the
x610 PSU PoE options table on page 5 for details.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol–Media Endpoint
Discovery (LLDP–MED)
» LLDP-MED extends LLDP basic network endpoint
discovery and management functions. LLDP-MED
allows for media endpoint specific messages,
providing detailed information on power requirements,
network policy, location discovery (for Emergency Call
Services) and inventory.
Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv3)
» OSPF is a scalable and adaptive routing protocol for
IP networks. The addition of OSPFv3 adds support
for IPv6 and further strengthens the Allied Telesis
focus on next generation networking.
Network Access Control (NAC)
» NAC allows exceptional control over user access
to the network, to mitigate threats to network
infrastructure. Allied Telesis x610 switches use IEEE
802.1x port-based authentication in partnership with
standards-compliant dynamic VLAN assignment,
to assess a user’s adherence to network security
policies, and then either grant access or offer
remediation.
» If multiple users share a port, multi-authentication
can be used. Different users on the same port can be
assigned to different VLANs, and so given different
levels of network access. Additionally, a guest VLAN
can be configured to provide a catch-all for users
who aren’t authenticated.
sFlow
» sFlow is an industry standard technology for
monitoring high-speed switched networks. It provides
complete visibility into network use, enabling
performance optimization, usage accounting/billing,
and defense against security threats. Sampled
packets sent to a collector ensure it always has a
real-time view of network traffic.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCPv6)
» DHCPv6 is used to dynamically assign IPv6
addresses to hosts from a central location. Acting as
DHCPv6 client enables the switch to receive an IPv6
address, and acting as server enables the switch to
dynamically allocate IPv6 addresses to hosts. The
DHCPv6 server and client both support the Prefix
Delegation feature which allocates a whole IPv6
subnet to a DHCP client. The client, in turn, can
allocate addresses from this subnet to the hosts that
are connected to it.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRPv3)
» VRRPv3 is a protocol for providing device redundancy,
by connecting redundant WAN gateway routers or
server access switches in an IPv6 network. It allows
a backup router or switch to automatically take over if
the primary (master) router or switch fails.
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
» The x610 Series supports Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE), which automatically reduces the power
consumed by the switch whenever there is no traffic
on a port. This sophisticated feature can significantly
reduce your operating costs by reducing the power
requirements of the switch and any associated
cooling equipment.
