AX3600S

High-end model supporting rapid switchover by redundancy for mission-critical systems

  • In an Ethernet ring, rapid switchover of 50 ms or less is possible.
  • Usable as a VXLAN gateway, which allows you to realize a flexible virtual network.
  • Supports policy-based mirroring, which enables per-tenant traffic monitoring.
  • Builds a 10GBase-T (UTP) environment capable of accommodating 10G servers (AX3660S-48XT4QW).
  • Equipped with 4 ports of 40G/100G (AX3660S-48XT4QW).
  • Handles rapidly increasing smart devices (Max. 30,000 ARP entries and 200,000 MAC entries).

Fault Tolerant Network

Non-stop network

  • Link-aggregation-only redundant system without STP avoids troubles that might be caused due to system complexity and enhances network stability.

Stack

  • Possible to handle multiple switches as a single switch (protocol-less redundancy, centralized management).
  • Link aggregation with multiple switches allows route diversion if a link/device failure occurs (non-stop communication) .
  • Stack by Ethernet port enables stacking of remotely separated switches.

Virtualization (VXLAN)

Network virtualization solution of the cloud era

  • Supports the RFC-standard VXLAN (Virtual eXtensible Local area Network) function.
  • Allows you to apply L2 extension (L2-VPN) to multiple sites over existing networks or carrier networks.
  • Costs less to build a multi-tenant (with multiple sites/DCs) environment than the conventional techniques (VPLS/MPLS)

Virtualization (Network Partition)

Simple and low cost network virtualization

  • Logical network segmentation by VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) and VLAN (Virtual LAN)
  • Secure and high reliability virtual network (partition) at low cost

Virtual Router (VRF function)

  • Realizes a virtual network by managing multiple separate routing tables in a single device.

Flexible networking

  • Possible for large enterprises and local government organizations to build an integrated network system on a wide area network where switches are located at multiple sites.
  • Possible to set an independent IP address space for each partition (no address overlap, flexible network design).
  • Cooperation with triple authentication enables secure login to partitions.

High Reliability & High Availability

Ring protocol

  • ALAXALA-proprietary L2 redundancy protocol realizes a ring network that allows rapid switchover within 50 ms.
  • A multi-ring configuration using multiple rings realizes flexible network topologies.
  • Combination of Stack and Ring simplifies switch redundancy on each site.

High reliability functionality

  • The functions such as link aggregation, STP/VRRP, GSRP (Gigabit Switch Redundancy Protocol), Uplink Redundant, Graceful Restart (helper), UDLD, and EtherOAM enhance the reliability of interfaces/routes.
  • Switch redundancy enables in-service software update.

Loop prevention

  • Supports the loop detection function, by which you can automatically prevent a loop that may be caused by misconnection.

Storm control

  • The storm control function prevents an entire system down when a storm occurs.

QoS functionality

  • Granular QoS control is possible (e.g., prioritization for mission-critical packets and voice packets vulnerable to delay, bandwidth control) .

Hot-swappable power supply unit

  • The internal redundant power supply unit of the AX3660 Series is hot-swappable, thus non-stop replacement is possible.

Stable High-functionality Routing

Experience rich, field proven routing functionality

  • High reliability, mission-critical level routing software (field-proven by ISPs/carriers) is installed.
  • Using BGP4 and BFD together enables faster path switchover.

Policy-based routing

  • Policy-based routing (IPv4) selects a best routing path for each traffic.
  • Supports the tracking function, which facilitates communication failure detection and automatic path switchover.
  • Combined use of Policy-Based Routing and Network Partition is possible.

IPv6 Support

High-speed IPv6 routing

  • As with IPv4 routing, the AX3660S Series supports high-speed IPv6 routing by hardware.
  • Rich functionality (e.g., static, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+, multicast) helps build various IPv6 networks.

Cooperation with IPv6 multicast

  • MLD Snooping is available that controls the output of IPv6 multicast packets.

Power Saving

Power saving design

  • Focused on low power consumption, the AX3660S Series is designed on power-saving architecture/circuits using components that consume less electricity.

Security

Policy-based mirroring (PBM)

  • Extracts and mirrors the data flow of specific users/applications.
  • Reduces the total system cost by optimizing the bandwidth/performance of security devices.
  • Supports Network Forensics, which assists a security device handling a large amount of data traffic.

Triple authentication

  • Supports IEEE802.1X, Web-based authentication and MAC authentication. Thus, it is possible to perform user authentication in an environment containing various types of OS and terminal devices.

DHCP Snooping

  • Rejects unauthorized fixed IP clients by blocking communications other than the IP addresses output from DHCP servers.

Quarantine solution

  • Blocks the terminals that do not match the network policy in cooperation with authentication/quarantine servers.

Filtering

  • Possible to block unauthorized traffic by ACL (Access Control List) of L2/L3/L4.

VLAN functionality

  • Various VLAN features (Port VLAN, Tag-VLAN, Protocol VLAN, MAC VLAN) are available.

Operation Management & Maintenance

CLI common through the AX Series

  • Supports the command line interface common through the AX Series, which realizes uniformed operation management and enhances maintenance operability.

Commandless maintenance

  • Possible to automatically save logs and update firmware just by inserting an SD card.

Network management

  • Supports the GUI management tool (AX-Network's Utility) to enhance operability.

Long Life Solution

Long-term stable operation

  • Trouble resolution and maintenance parts delivery service for up to 10 years.
  • Supports long life solution that enables long-term stable network operation.
