AX6600S

High Capacity and Compact Size

• High performance triple play environment
  • Provides high packet forwarding performance even for short packets, and operation stability in a multimedia environment.
• Compact design
  • Compact size achieved by integrated installation of the packet forwarding units, enabling effective 1G/10G multi-port accommodation.
  • With the double-act operation of the packet forwarding unit, provides the switching capacity and packet forwarding performance that are twice those of AX6300S.
  • Designed to be compact but support functions equivalent to those of AX6700S . (e.g., high-speed switchover of the switching unit when having a fault, dynamic power saving (reduction of online power supply, operation scheduling))
• High cost efficiency
  • Enables configuration of high performance networks at a low price in combination with small switches (AX2400S/AX3600S).

High Reliability and High Availability

• Hardware/software architectures proven by carriers
  • Adopts the design concepts of AX7800S/AX7800R/AX5400S series switches, whose performances were proven in carrier-class networks
• Various kinds of high-reliability features
  • Provides high reliability, high availability networks in combination with high reliability of the device itself and high reliability features such as Link Aggregation, Graceful Restart and GSRP.
  • Prevents loops by UDLD and Loop Guard, and broadcast storm by Storm Control.

Lower Operation Management Costs

• Simplified network configuration/operation with OAN
  • Enables automatic operation in cooperation with security checks, and reduces the cost of operation management with ALAXALA proprietary OAN (open autonomic networking) concept.
• Simplified maintenance
  • Simplifies and reduces the time for maintenance with command-free maintenance to easily back up configurations and collect information on faults.

Green IT

• Power saving design
  • Reduces the number of ASICs used per device with a centralized packet forwarding architecture, reducing power consumption.
• Dynamic power saving
  • Supports the dynamic power saving function that enables operation scheduling on a basis of year/date/time to reduce power consumption during a time of low network usage (e.g., nighttime or holidays).

Cost-Effective System Configuration

• High port density accommodation
  Reduces a per-port cost with the high port density accommodation of 1G Ethernet and 10G Ethernet with switching capacity of up to 384 Gbps.
  • 10 G Ethernet: accommodates up to 64 ports (AX6608S).
  • 1 G Ethernet: accommodates up to 192 ports (AX6608S).

Advanced Security

• Authentication/quarantine solutions
  • Supports both IEEE 802.1X and Web authentication. By using these functions with MAC VLAN, it becomes possible to authenticate each terminal even in an environment where network configuration is dynamically changed according to the number of accommodated users. Also, by allowing entry of each authenticated terminal into a user-specified VLAN, it becomes possible to build a robust secure VLAN.
  • In combination with authentication/quarantine servers, possible to provide a quarantine solution in which only PCs that have passed quarantine checks are connected to a business VLAN automatically.
• Prevention of unwanted data flow
  • With uRPF (unicast Reverse Path Forwarding), possible to prevent fraudulent access (e.g., spoofing).
