Allied Telesis x540L Series 10 Gigabit Layer 3 stackable switches provide highspeed distribution or edge connectivity. All ports support up to 10G speed enabling seamless communication for modern applications, and Multi-Gigabit support ensures flexible deployment.
Overview
Allied Telesis x540L Series switches provide high performance with up to 10G connectivity on every port. At the distribution layer, the power of Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) enables a resilient solution where up to 41 units, whether copper of fiber models, can be managed as a single virtual device for simplicity and flexibility.
The x540L-28XTm supports Multi-Gigabit (1/2.5/5/10G) copper ports for flexible deployment, while the x540L-28XS has 1/10G SFP fiber ports for secure long distance connectivity.
High-speed for next generation networks
The x540L Series provides both copper and fiber connectivity options at up to 10G. Support next-generation networks, with their increasingly high bandwidth demands for modern applications like remote working and high-definition videoconferencing.
Device and network management
The Device GUI enables graphical monitoring of key switch features to support easy management.
Integrated into the Device GUI, Vista ManagerTM mini supports visibility and management of AMF Plus wired and AWC wireless network devices, making it ideal as a one-stop solution for small to medium-sized networks.
AWC is an intelligent, easy to use Wireless LAN controller that automatically maintains optimal wireless coverage. Vista Manager mini includes AWC floor and heat maps showing wireless coverage. It also supports AWC Channel Blanket hybrid operation, providing maximum performance and seamless roaming, as well as AWC Smart Connect for simplified deployment, and a resilient Wi-Fi network solution using wireless uplink connectivity.
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 highspeed access to online resources and applications.
Advanced Layer 3 performance
The x540L Series support both static routes and RIP, OSPF and BGP routing protocols. Easily manage Layer 3 environments, and increase routing capability when required with licensing.
Secure
The x530 Series offers powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, loop guard to protect against cabling mistakes, and triauthentication for comprehensive access control.
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. The x540L Series provide features to detect loops as soon as they are created. Loop detection and thrash limiting take immediate action to prevent network storms.
Future-proof
x540L Series switches are Software Defined Networking (SDN) ready and support OpenFlow v1.3.
Powerful network management
Autonomous Management FrameworkTM Plus (AMF Plus) automates everyday management tasks, as the complete network can be managed as a single virtual device. Growing the network is plug-and-play simple, and device recovery fully zero-touch.
