10 GIGABIT LAYER 3 LITE STACKABLE SWITCH, 18X SFP+ PORTS, US POWER CORD.

x250 Series | 10 Gigabit Stackable Edge Switches

Allied Telesis x250 Series 10 Gigabit Layer 3 switches represent a new era of high-speed, high-density edge connectivity. All ports support up to 10G speed for seamless communication to enterprise servers and other 10G terminals, and resilient aggregated connectivity to distribution and core switches.

Overview

Allied Telesis x250 Series switches provide a superior high-speed access solution delivering up to 10G connectivity for next generation networks. The x250 Series fiber models support 1/10G (SFP and SFP+) on all ports, making them ideal for long-distance connections, and for high-capacity devices such as servers. The copper models support 1/2.5/5/10G (Multi-Gigabit) for flexible deployment options and the ability to support all end devices.

The x250 Series can form a virtual chassis stack (VCStackTM ) allowing 2 units, to be managed as a single virtual device for simplicity and flexibility.

Resiliency

Converging network services means increasing demand for highly available networks with minimal downtime. VCStack, in conjunction with link aggregation, provides a network with no single point of failure, and provides access application resiliency.

Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing™), and the standards-based G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection, ensure distributed networks have high- speed access to online resources.

Secure

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

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

The x250 Series uses 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 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 loop. The x250 Series loop detection and thrash limiting take immediate action to prevent network storms.

Manageable

The x250 Series run 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 Device GUI (Graphical User Interface) is an easy-to-use and powerful management tool, with comprehensive monitoring facilities.

Future-proof

x250 Series switches are Software Defined Networking (SDN) ready and able to support OpenFlow v1.3.
