Network switches Allied Telesis

24x 10/100BASE-T, 2x 1000Base-X SFP, 8000 MAC, 802.1Q, 200MHz, 32MB, 6.2kg With IP routing capabilities and comprehensive management tools, these switches offer
flexibility and investment protection.
The AT-8600 Series switches are highperformance edge/access switches designed to
provide desktop connectivity for enterprise workgroups, mid-sized networks, and high
school and campus networks. More demanding customers in these segments will benefit from
the Layer 2/3/4+ intelligence of the AT-8600 Series, which supports multimedia applications
like voice and video.

These intelligent switches include Quality of Service (QoS) features, such as wirespeed Layer
2/3/4+ traffic classifiers, bandwidth limiting, Diffserv and Hardware Access control lists,
which are particularly useful for multi-tenant unit, multi-business unit,Telco or Network
Service Provider applications.

Rich Feature Set
The AT-8600 Series switches include a powerful feature set. All AT-8600 Layer 3 switches include
a suite of advanced switching features such as IEEE 802.1Q VLAN Tagging, IGMPv2, 802.1p
Traffic Prioritization of packets at Layer 2, and broadcast storm protection. The AT-8600
Series supports various multicast applications, such as a Layer 3 multicast set-up/configuration
to control traffic for VoIP phones. Multicast routing (PIM-SM, PIM-DM) is now available for
the AT-8600 Series switches.

Bandwidth Limiting
All AT-8600 Series switches come with asymmetric, bidirectional bandwidth limiting at
no additional cost.This is an ideal feature for customers needing to allocate the amount of
bandwidth on a per port basis. With bandwidth limiting, network administrators can define
throughput levels for each port and control access based on type of end user.These
features are ideal for managing different applications like VoIP, Web browsing, video,
email, and to regain control of traffic across the network.The bandwidth limiting on the AT-
8600 Series provides fine granularity with the ability to define ingress limits down to 64Kbps
segments and egress limits down to 1Mbps segments.The segment definitions can be
asymmetric and each port can be set to different values. An additional benefit is that
loop back ports are not required.

Cost Effectiveness
The AT-8600 Series switches enable a cost effective network by efficiently using bandwidth
from the access edge to the core. These switches accomplish this with a combination of
traffic prioritization and security filtering, ensuring that rogue traffic is not forwarded and
preventing unnecessary load on the network backbone and central servers.

Security
DOS Attack Prevention along with authenication via 8O2.1X provides strong
protection against network threats.

Flexibility with Power Over Ethernet
Switches supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) can simplify network design by delivering power
as well as data over existing Ethernet cabling to PoE Powered Devices (PDs) in the network.
PDs include VoIP phones, wireless LAN access points, Ethernet hubs and web cameras. With
400 watts available for PoE, the AT-8624POE is capable of supplying full power (15.4 watts) to
PDs over all 24 ports. Because a separate power cable is not needed for PDs, network
design and installation is simplified. Customers with PDs in their network have greater flexibility
of network design with the AT-8624POE.

Wirespeed Routing
A rich set of features is included to provide full support for multimedia Layer 4 applications. All
switches include Layer 3 IP Static Routing, RIP, RIPv2, IGMPv2 and OSPFv2 routing protocols.

Manageability
The AT-8600 Series offers an extensive suite of management capabilities allowing simple
configuration, advanced customizable triggers with an e-mail client and full SNMP and MIB
support for unmatched flexibility in monitoring and controlling events.

Management Stacking
Stacking provides CLI based management of up to nine switches with the same effort as for
one switch.The Allied Telesis solution uses open standards interfaces as stacking links so that
many switches can be stacked across different sites, which is not possible using the proprietary
stacking cable solutions. Also the use of open standards interfaces avoids the use of expensive
specialized hardware with limited topologies.
