- Feature-rich layer 2 functions (e.g. triple authentication, multi-step authentication, loop detection, ring protocol, etc.)
- High-performance network authentication enables smooth authentication even with more robust 2048-bit SSL, which has been becoming popular in education and research fields.
- Layer 2 distribution switches capable of simple redundancy and unified management
- Stack function(#1) enables fast switchover within 1 second in the event of a failure.
- Unified management for redundant switches

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.
Industry-leading web authentication performance
- Simultaneous authentication of a large number of terminals
- Smooth authentication even with more robust 2048-bit SSL
Dynamic ACL/QoS
- Possible to specify Access Control List (ACL) dynamically in authentication, thus enables communication control for each user.
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
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.
Stack
- Stack enables multiple switches to operate together as a single switch, enabling simple protocol-free redundancy and unified management.
- Link aggregation across stacked switches enables fast switchover in the event of a failure.
- Ethernet cables are used for stacking, which enables long-haul communication between stack members. (To be supported in 2014.)
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.
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.
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. (AX2530S-24T)
Optic Multi-port Models
Optic multi-port models for a large-scale LAN
- A model with optical fiber ethernet (1000BASE-X) is available for use as a core or distribution switch in enterprise networks.
AX2530S-2S4X : 24 ports for 1000BASE-X - Suitable for networks that require long distance wiring over 100m that UTP cables cannot reach, and for use in noisy environment (e.g. hospital, factory, etc.).
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
