AX3800S

Box-type L3 Switches Capable of 10G Multiport Accommodation, Suitable for Use as Core Switches in Medium/Small-Scale Networks

AX3800S

AX3830S-44XW AX3830S-44X4QW

The AX3800S is a series of 1U-sized, box-type L3 switches with 44 ports for 10 gigabit Ethernet. The AX3800S series switches can be used as core switches capable of accommodating 10 gigabit Ethernet and 1 gigabit Ethernet together in middle/small-scale networks. Further, they support Stack *1, which helps configure a redundant system with multiple switches, and thus realizes a fault tolerant network using both 10 gigabit Ethernet and 1 gigabit Ethernet. The AX3830S-44X4QW, which supports 40 gigabit Ethernet, can be used as a backplane switch for stack connection that can provide a large routing capacity. *1 : To be released in 2013.

1. Compact Body with High Port Density

  • 40Ｇ Ethernet
    • AX3830S-44X4QW supports 40Gbps Ethernet interface (4 ports), which provides enough performance for stack connection. 40Gbps Ethernet interface has become available prior to the release of the stack function (to be released in 2013).
  • 10Ｇ multiport switch
    • 1U-sized height with 44 ports for 10Gbps Ethernet interface
    • Enables mixed use of 10Gbps Ethernet and 1Gbps Ethernet, suitable for use as a core switch in an enterprise network.
    • Direct attach cables (not require expensive optical transceivers) can be used to reduce the total cost for switch setup.
  • Enhanced MAC address capacity
    • Compared to AX3650S/AX3640S, the number of MAC addresses that can be accommodated is quadrupled (32,768→131,072), which is a satisfying level for data center networks that are experiencing rapid virtualization of servers/storages

2. High Reliability and High Availability

  • High reliability features
    • Improves line and route reliability with stacking, link aggregation, STPs, Graceful Restart (helper), VRRP, as well as ALAXALA’s proprietary functions, such as GSRP (Gigabit Switch Redundancy Protocol), VRRP Polling, Static Polling, Uplink Redundancy, L2 loop detection, and EtherOAM.
  • L2 Ring protocol
    • Realizes a ring network without STP, which enables high-reliability L2 redundancy capable of fast switchover. Supports a flexible network topology configured of multiple rings using a multi-ring protocol.
  • Hot-swappable power supply unit
    • Equipped with a built-in redundant power supply that enables hot swapping without communication interruption.
    • Two types of air flow are available: front-to-rear (FR type) and rear-to-front (RF type). Possible to select an air flow type that fits the cooling system of each data center (power supply and fan modules of FR type have different model numbers from those of RF type).

3. Stack (to be released in 2013)

  • Support of fault tolerant network.
    • Fast failover
    • Software update without service suspension
  • Support of simple redundancy of enterprise network.
    • Stack configuration using switches distanced from each other (possible to select 10G/40G, based on a distance between switches)
    • Network virtualization with protocol-free redundancy using Stack and Network Partition together

4. Network virtualization (Network Partition)

  • Simple and low-cost network virtualization
    • Enables VPN (Virtual Private Network) by logically dividing a network configured of VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) and VLAN (Virtual LAN), helping achieve network integration/separation without sacrificing network security/independence.

5. Stable High-Functionality Routing (IPv4/IPv6)

  • Field-proven routing functionality same as that of core routers
    • Routing software equivalent to that of the AX7800R, which has always been well received by many ISPs/carriers
    • Load balancing based on high reliability routing (e.g., multipath) with OSPF/BGP for site-to-site connection using wide-area Ethernet/IP-VPN
    • Policy-based routing (IPv4) to choose the best route based on each traffic amount (supports tracking function to detect communication faults and achieve automatic route switchover)
  • IPv6/Multicast
    • Hardware-based IPv6/IPv4 routing
    • Supports various protocols (Static, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+, multicast, etc.) responding to the diversity of IPv6 networks.
  • Green IT/power saving
    • Dynamic power saving to cut unnecessary power use
    • Unused-port power saving for cutting power to unused ports
  • Low power consumption
    • 1208Gbps switching capacity (AX3830S-44X4QW), low power consumption (max. 300(W)), TCO reduction
