Multi-Gigabit Edge Switches

Allied Telesis x240 Series Layer 3 multi-gigabit switches offer an impressive set of features in a compact design, making them ideal for high-speed connectivity at the edge of the network.

Overview

Allied Telesis x240 Series switches provide a superior access solution for modern networks, supporting 10M/100M/1/2.5/5G connectivity for both legacy and high-speed end devices with maximum throughput. They enable an easy performance upgrade using existing Cat5e building cables.

Power over Ethernet (PoE++) models connect and power next-generation wireless access points, IP video surveillance cameras and IP telephony with up to 90W power delivery. With 8, 16 or 24 multi-gigabit ports and 10 gigabit SFP+ uplinks, the x240 series enables flexible deployment and secure access at the network edge.

High-speed wireless

The x240 Series provide support for both 2.5 and 5 Gigabit connectivity, allowing high-speed wireless to run at full capacity while avoiding the need to upgrade existing Cat5e/Cat6 cables.

Secure

Network security is guaranteed, with powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, and other multi-layered security features built right in.

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

Allied Telesis x240 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, policy- based storm protection and packet storm protection.

Network storms are often caused by cabling errors that result in a network loop. Allied Telesis x240 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 x240 runs the advanced AlliedWare Plus fully featured operating system, delivering 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.

Powerful network management

Meeting the increased management requirements of modern converged networks, Allied Telesis Autonomous Management FrameworkTM Plus (AMF Plus) automates many everyday tasks including configuration management.

The complete network can be managed as a single virtual device with powerful centralized management features. Growing the network can be accomplished with plug-and-play simplicity, and network node recovery is fully zero-touch.

AMF Plus secure mode increases network security with management traffic encryption, authorization, and monitoring.
