Enterprise Gigabit Edge Switches

The Allied Telesis x230 Series of Layer 3 Gigabit switches offer an impressive set of features in a compact design, making them ideal for applications at the network edge.

Overview

Allied Telesis x230 Series switches provide an excellent access solution for today's networks, supporting Gigabit to the desktop for maximum performance. The Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) models provide an ideal solution for connecting and remotely powering wireless access points, IP video surveillance cameras, and IP phones. With 8, 16 or 24 Gigabit ports, SFP uplinks, and fanless models for silent operation, the x230 Series enable flexible deployment and secure connectivity at the network edge.

Secure

Network Access Control (NAC) gives unprecedented control over user access to mitigate threats to network infrastructure.

Allied Telesis x230 switches use 802.1x port-based authentication, in partnership with standards-compliant dynamic VLAN assignment, to assess a user's adherence to network security policies and either grant access or offer remediation. Tri-authentication ensures the network is only accessed by known users and devices. Secure access is also available for guests.

Security from malicious network attacks is provided by a comprehensive range of features such as DHCP snooping, STP root guard, BPDU protection and access control lists. Each of these can be configured to perform a variety of actions upon detection of a suspected attack.

Network protection

Advanced storm protection features include bandwidth limiting, policybased storm protection and packet storm protection.

Network storms are often caused by cabling errors that result in a network loop. Allied Telesis x230 Series switches.

provide features to detect loops as soon as they are created. Loop detection and thrash limiting take immediate action to prevent network storms.

Manageable

The advanced AlliedWare Plus™ fully featured operating system delivers a rich feature set and an industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI). This reduces training requirements and is consistent across all AlliedWare Plus devices, simplifying network management.

The web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) is an easy-to-use and powerful management tool, with comprehensive monitoring facilities.

Future-proof

x230 Series switches are Software Defined Networking (SDN) ready and able to support OpenFlow v1.3.

Network management

Vista ManagerTM EX bundled with Allied Telesis Autonomous Management FrameworkTM Plus (AMF Plus) meets the increasing management requirements of modern networks. While AMF Plus allows an entire network to be securely and easily managed as a single virtual device, Vista Manager EX provides an intuitive and powerful graphical tool for monitoring and managing AMF Plus wired, Autonomous Wave Control (AWC) wireless, and third party (SNMP) devices.

Cybersecurity

The x230 Series acting as an AMF Plus member is compatible with our AMFSecurity solution, which enables a self-defending network. The AMF-Sec controller responds immediately to any internal malware threats by instructing the x230 Series to isolate the affected part of the network, and quarantine the suspect device. Vista Manager EX alerts networks administrators of threats that have been dealt with.
