AT-8000GS/48

48 port stackable 10/100/1000T Layer 2 switch with 4 standby SFP bays (unpopulated)

Overview

One of a series of high performance Gigabit Ethernet stackable switches from Allied Telesis, the AT-8000GS/48 provides high performance Layer 2 switching in an affordable fixed configuration platform.This switch offers 48 10/100/1000 ports, with four fixed 1Gbps SFP slots plus two integrated stacking connectors that deliver a total of 20Gbps stacking bandwidth.The stacking capability integrated into this platform is configured as a resilient ring topology designed to provide high reliability and simplified management for higher port density applications. Support for jumbo Ethernet frames enables higher throughput of time sensitive data.

Near Silent Operation

Specifically designed to be usable in an open office or retail store environment the AT-8000GS/48 uses the latest in low power technologies to minimize both power consumption and the need for excessive cooling fans.

Ideal Branch Office and Wiring Closet Connectivity

Powerful line rate performance and stackability make this switch ideal for branch offices or the wiring closet of larger offices.The state-of-the art QoS capability of this product ensures reliable delivery of advanced network services such as voice while effectively controlling the continually increasing traffic needs found in today’s networks.

Easy Access Networking

Featuring an industry standard CLI and Allied Telesis’ intuitive yet fully featured Web interface the advanced features of the AT-8000GS/48 are accessible to a wide range of system administrators.The well known CLI and Web interfaces significantly reduce learning time and minimize the cost of deployment.

Secure Management

Only authorized administrators can access the management interface of the 8000GS series. Protocols such as SSL, SSH and SNMPv3 facilitate this protection of your network with local or remote connections.

Securing the Network Edge

To ensure the protection of your data, it is important to control access to your network. Protocols such as IEEE 802.1x port-based authentication guarantee that only known users are connected to the network. Unknown users who physically connect can be isolated to a pre-determined part of your network offering guests such benefits as Internet access while ensuring the integrity of your private network data.
