AX2500S

Compact and Fanless Layer 2 Gigabit Switch Best Fitted for Building Fault Tolerant Networks

AX2500S

The AX2500S supports link aggregation (SML) that connects two different switches, thus making itself best fitted for construction of high reliability networks. Further, with the dynamic power saving functionality, the switch can be automatically powered off according to a predetermined operation schedule. The AX2500S is a fanless gigabit Layer 2 switch that can operate with the best of its ability especially when used with the AX6000S family.

RoHS compliant

1. High Reliability and High Availability

  • SML (Split Multi Link)
    • Enables link aggregation between two different switches.
    • By using fault-tolerant switches (AX6000S family) together, it becomes possible to configure a simple redundant network using only link aggregation.
  • SML function that helps circumvent a line fault
    • SML is a function that enables link aggregation between the two different switches, thus making it possible to continue communications even when a failure has occurred by taking an alternative route via the counterpart switch. SML function that helps circumvent a line fault
  • L2 Ring Protocol
    • Enables L2 ring configuration using a simple network topology.
  • Prevention of a loop failure
    • Enables loop detection, by which a loop failure that may be caused accidentally by misconnection can be automatically prevented.

2. Fanless Switch (AX2530S-24T, AX2530S-48T)

  • Fanless
    • AX2530S-24T is a gigabit switch that is completely fanless.
    • AX2530S-48T is a semi-fanless switch whose fan activates only when the temperature inside the switch has risen exceeding the permissible level.
  • Noise suppression
    • Suitable for use in places that should be noise-free (e.g., conference rooms).
  • Reduced chance of malfunction
    • Free of failure that may be caused due to dust absorption by the fan.
    • No physically operable units, thus reducing factors that may cause a failure.

3. Optic Multiport Switch (AX2530S-24S4X)

  • Optic multiport switch capable of large-scale network construction
    • As a distribution switch for enterprise networks, provides 24 ports for gigabit optic Ethernet (this interface is always in high demand).
    • Provides 4 ports for 10 gigabit interface, thus making it possible to allocate an enough bandwidth for uplink connection when using redundancy functions such as SML or ring protocols.
  • Use of noise-resistant optic fibers suited to long distance transmission
    • Unlike UTP, optic fibers enable long distance transmission of 100m or more (specified that transmission up to 100Km is possible with SFP-LHB).
    • Supports the SFP+ interface for 10G lines, thus making it possible to configure a low-cost, large line capacity network than with the XFP interface.

4. Authentication and Security Functions

  • Triple authentication
    • Mixed use of IEEE802.1X, Web-based authentication and MAC authentication is possible
  • Multi-step authentication
    • By using two or more authentication methods together, possible to block access from unauthorized terminals and execute user authentication at the same time.
  • Gigabit L2 box switch featuring a large class of authentication capacity
    • With dynamic VLAN, possible to authenticate up to 100 terminals.

5. Green IT and Power Saving Functionality

  • Dynamic power-saving functionality that reduces unnecessary power consumption
    • Schedule Sleep for automatically powering off the switch during nights and holidays
    • Sleep Cancellation for remotely powering on the switch that has been in the sleep mode
  • Energy Saving
    • Energy-saving capability more powerful than that of the AX2400S series (gigabit L2 switches)
