Layer 3 chassis-type switchesAX6700S/AX6600S/AX6300S Series
The AX6700S/AX6600S/AX6300S Series with fault tolerant architecture that delivers continuous system operation
enhances the reliability of a core switch in enterprise networks.
Various models to meet customers' needs are available, from high performance models
featuring more than 1 terabit switching capacity to cost-effective models.
- AX6700S: High performance, feature-rich switches realizing non-stop networks
- Full-spec fault-tolerant switches with an architecture in which the control unit and the packet forwarding unit are installed as an independent module, achieving high availability (easy troubleshooting by localization of a failure)
- 1.15Tbps switching capacity with three Basic Switching Units (BSU)
- AX6600S: Compact, high performance, feature-rich switches
- Compact full-spec fault-tolerant switches integrating the control unit and the packet forwarding unit into one module, while inheriting high availability and power saving technology from the AX6700S
- 384Gbps switching capacity with two Control Switching Units (CSU)
- AX6300S: Cost-effective, standard switches
- Compact, cost-effective, standard fault-tolerant switches deploying the integrated modules with both the control unit and the forwarding unit
- 192Gbps switching capacity

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.
