Fault Tolerant Network

Non-stop network

  • STP-free redundancy prevents trouble that is caused due to the complexity of using multiple protocols and provides more stable systems.

Fault tolerant architecture

  • Two-in-one architecture integrating two switch units into one provides non-stop system operation.
  • FT architecture with carrier-grade availability enables fast switchover.

Virtualization

Simple, low-cost virtual network

  • Using VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) and VLAN together enables a network to be divided into logical subnets.
  • Virtual network achieves secure and highly reliable networks with lower costs.

VRF

  • Multiple independent instances of a routing table in the same switch enable configuration of virtual networks.

Flexible network operation

  • Allocating an independent IP address space for each partition allows for flexible network configuration without concern about address overlap.
  • Combination of virtualization and triple authentication provides secure login to a virtual network.

High Reliability and High Availability

Ring protocol

  • Possible to configure a ring network using the ALAXALA proprietary layer 2 redundancy protocol enabling fast switchover within 1 sec.
  • Possible to configure a high-flexibility, multi-ring network.
  • A ring network using AX6700S/AX6600S/AX6300S enables switchover with 50 milliseconds (minimum rate).

High reliability

  • Improves reliability with link aggregation, STP, VRRP, GSRP(Gigabit Switch Redundancy Protocol), uplink redundancy, graceful restart, UDLD, and EtherOAM.
  • Non-stop software update is possible.

Prevention of a loop failure

  • Loop detection function prevents loops that may be caused by miscabling.

Storm control

  • Storm control prevents the suspension of an entire system when storm has occurred.

QoS

  • Granular QoS control enables priority control (for important packets / voice packets), port bandwidth control and so on.

Hierarchical shaper

  • Enables traffic control per application on a VLAN, thereby making it possible to achieve stable communication in a wide area network.
  • In AX6700S and AX6600S, high-grade features that enable low-latency transmission of high priority packets (for voice, video, etc.) are available.

Hot swappable power supply

  • Internally redundant, hot swappable power supplies

Stable High-Functionality Routing

Field-proven routing features

  • Routing software equivalent to that of carrier-grade routers that has been well received by many service providers

Policy-based routing

  • Makes it possible to select the best route based on each traffic flow.
  • Supports a tracking feature, which helps detect communication faults and performs automatic route switchover.
  • Usable with VRF.

Policy-based switching

  • Supports policy-based switching to choose the best switching path based on traffic flow in layer 2 networks.

IPv6

High performance IPv6 routing

  • Hardware-based IPv6 routing as well as IPv4 routing
  • Supports various routing protocols, such as static routing, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+, Multicast, and so on.

IPv6 Multicast in layer 2 network

  • Supports MLD snooping.

Green IT and Power Saving

Dynamic power saving to cut unnecessary power useAX6700S/AX6600S

  • Minimizes power consumption with cutting-edge power saving technologies (power saving mode, cold standby, etc.).
  • Dynamic power saving supports the scheduling function that reduces power consumption during the periods of low network usage (e.g., nighttime or holidays) and the traffic-based power saving function that reduces power according to an amount of traffic.

Energy saving design

  • Low power consumption with low power architecture / circuit design and energy saving parts

Security

Triple authentication

  • Supports three authentication methods (IEEE802.1X, Web, MAC), enabling flexible secure networking.

DHCP Snooping

  • Forwards only authorized packets coming from trusted DHCP clients whose IP addresses were issued by DHCP servers.

Quarantine solution

  • Only PCs complying with a security policy can access a network.

Filtering

  • Supports access control lists for layer 2, layer 3, and layer 4 headers.

VLAN

  • Port-based VLAN, Tag-VLAN, protocol VLAN, MAC VLAN

Operation Management and Maintenance

Unified CLI

  • Unified Command Line Interface enabling easy operation and maintenance

Command-free maintenance

  • Easy maintenance operation (e.g. backup data and update software.) just by inserting an SD card (script) into the switch
  • Easy maintenance just by operating a System Operation Panel (SOP) configured of an LCD monitor and operation keys.
