Layer 2 box-type switchesAX1200S Series

The AX1200S Series Switches are Fast Ethernet switches providing high security, reliability and operability that were inherited from the upper AX Series.

AX1200S

AX1240S: Fast Ethernet layer 2 switches suitable as a floor switch
Feature-rich layer 2 functions (e.g. triple authentication, multi-step authentication, loop detection, etc.) that are required for floor switches
Provides functionalities equivalent to those of the AX2200S Series, enabling configuration of Fast Ethernet networks offering the functionalities of Gigabit Ethernet.
AX1250S: Environmentally-resistant switches providing high security and reliability
A fanless switch highly resistant to dripping water, heat, and dust, designed for use under severe circumstances such as railways or highways
ECC memory that corrects memory errors caused by electromagnetic noise provides high quality of communication under noisy environment such as factories or hospitals.
Having functionality equivalent to AX1240S

Network Configuration Example

Enterprise LAN

Enterprise LAN
  • RoHS compliant

Security

Triple authentication

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

Multi-step authentication

  • By using two authentication methods together, possible to configure a more robust security system.

High-performance web authentication

  • Simultaneous authentication of a large number of terminals

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

Green IT and Power Saving

Dynamic power saving to cut unnecessary power use

  • Auto power off to cut power to unused ports
  • Device sleep: the switch shifts into the sleep mode according to a predetermined schedule.
  • Scheduling: power consumption is reduced during the periods of low network usage (e.g., nighttime / holidays).

Energy saving design

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

Fanless models

  • Suitable for use in places that should be noise-free (e.g., conference rooms).
  • No dust accumulation and no moving parts, reducing chance of malfunction.

Environmentally resistanceAX1250S

  • Designed with IP31 ingress protection defined in IEC60529.
  • Ensures operation under strict conditions from -10°C to 50°C.

PoE/PoE+

PoE for reducing use of power cordsAX1240S

  • 24 ports for Fast Ethernet PoE/PoE+ (AX1240S-24P2C)
  • Capable of housing PoE devices (i.e., IP telephone, wireless AP), thus requiring fewer cables and reducing stress associated with wiring complexity, resulting in cost reduction and shorter construction periods.
  • AX1240S-24P2C supports Class 3 (15.4W) power feeding at all ports (Max. 24 ports), as well as Class 4 (30.0W) power feeding using PoE+ (IEEE802.3at) (Max. 12 ports).

High Reliability and High Availability

Ring protocol (supports only transit nodes.)

  • 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.

High reliability

  • Improves reliability with link aggregation, STP, GSRP aware (Gigabit Switch Redundancy Protocol), uplink redundancy, UDLD, and EtherOAM.

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.

IPv6

IPv6 Multicast in layer 2 networks

  • Supports MLD snooping.

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
