Performance
Allied Telesis' Rapier 'i' series of 10/100Mbps Layer 3 switches deliver an unprecedented level of integration, feature richness and switching performance at affordable prices. With wirespeed Layer 2 switching and wirespeed Layer 3 IP routing on all ports, these switches are designed for
Progressive Features
All Allied Telesis' Layer 3 switches come with the feature rich operating system AlliedWare, which includes Layer 3 IP Static Routing, RIP, RIPv2,VRRP and OSPFv2 routing protocols. For advanced networking applications Allied Telesis offers the Rapier 'i' series with three optional feature licenses: Full Layer 3 upgrade, Advanced Layer 3 upgrade, and Security upgrade. The Full Layer 3 upgrade enables a set of additional routing protocols such as IPX, DVMRP, VRRP, PIM- DM/SM and RSVP. The Advanced Layer 3 upgrade provides a set of the specialized protocols consisting of IPv6, BGP4, and Load Balancer. The Security upgrade offers an ICSA- certified Stateful Inspection Firewall as well as both SMTP and HTTP application gateways.
WAN Support - Rapier Switch/Router
The Rapier 16fi and 24i models support an optional Network Services Module (NSM) with a variety of Port Interface Cards (PICs) to provide Wide Area Network connectivity for E1,T1, PRI ISDN, BRI ISDN, Asynchronous and Synchronous communications, Frame Relay and X.25.The AlliedWare operating system provides Layer 3 IP static routing, RIP, RIPv2,VRRP and OSPFv2 routing protocols, while optional specialized protocols are also available such as BGP4, IPX, RSVP and the multicast routing protocols of DVMRP and
Switching Features
The Rapier 'i' series of switches are some of the most powerful switches on the market. All Rapier 'i' Layer 3 switches include a suite of advanced switching features such as IEEE
802.1Q VLAN Tagging, IGMPv2, 802.1p Traffic Prioritization of packets at Layer 3 and Layer 4, and broadcast and multicast traffic control.The Quality of Service (QoS) features offered by the Rapier 'i' series are particularly useful for multi- tenant unit, multi business unit,Telco, or Network Service Provider applications.
Return on Investment
Today's economy demands that network investments provide a Return On Investment sooner rather than later. Cost effectiveness is achieved three ways. First, Rapier 'i' is the first Layer 3 switch with an integrated WAN router. Networks using a Layer 3 switch that does not support WAN routing need to incorporate additional router equipment at extra expense. Second, Rapier 'i' has three optional feature licences so you only pay for the specialized features you need. Third, the Rapier 'i' series of switches offer the greatest variety of uplinks at the lowest cost.
