Enterprise Gigabit Edge Switches The Allied Telesis x 230 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 x 230 Series switches provide an excellent access solution for today’s networks, supporting Gigabit to the desktop for maximum performance. The Power over Ethernet Plus (Po E+) models provide an ideal solution for connecting & remotely powering wireless access points, IP video surveillance cameras, & IP phones. With 8, 16 or 24 Gigabit ports, SFP uplinks, & fanless models for silent operation, the x 230 Series enable flexible deployment & secure connectivity at the network edge. Secure Network security is guaranteed, with powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, & 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 x 230 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 & either grant access or offer remediation. Tri-authentication ensures the network is only accessed by known users & 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 & 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 & packet storm protection. Network storms are often caused by cabling errors that result in a network loop. Allied Telesis x 230 Series switches provide features to detect loops as soon as they are created. Loop detection & thrash limiting take immediate action to prevent network storms. Manageable The x 230 runs the advanced Allied Ware Plus™ fully featured operating system, delivering a rich feature set & an industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI). This reduces training requirements & is consistent across all Allied Ware Plus devices, simplifying network management. The web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) is an easy-to-use & powerful management tool, with comprehensive monitoring facilities. Future-proof x 230 Series switches are Software Defined Networking (SDN) ready & able to support Open Flow v 1.3. Powerful network management Meeting the increased management requirements of modern converged networks, Allied Telesis Autonomous Management Framework™ (AMF) 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-&-play simplicity, & network node recovery is fully zero-touch. AMF secure mode increases network security with management traffic encryption, authorization, & monitoring. ECO friendly The x 230 Series supports Energy Efficient Ethernet, which automatically reduces the power consumed by the switch whenever there is no traffic on a port. This sophisticated feature can significantly reduce your operating costs by reducing the power requirements of the switch & any associated cooling equipment. The x 230-10GT & x 230L models are fanless, providing silent operation, which makes them ideal for desktop or work area deployment.
