The NetVanta1524ST is the ﬁrst in a series of Gigabit Ethernet switches from ADTRAN.

Offered at a price point less than half the cost of other 24-port Layer 2 Gigabit switches, this product is setting a new standard for affordable higher bandwidth and Gigabit- to-the-desktop deployments. Ideal for new installations or network upgrades, these switches can provide higher bandwidth

for corporate and branch ofﬁce Local Area Networks (LANs) to support today’s most bandwidth intensive applications.

Hardware

The NetVanta 1524ST rackmount switch provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, consisting of 20 fxed 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports and four combo 10/100/1000Base-T/ Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports. The 10/100/1000Base-T ports provide auto-rate, auto-duplexing, and auto-MDI/ MDI-X sensing. The SFP slots are available to accommodate optical interfaces using industry-standard SFP modules. The 1524ST can support up to 16 units stacked together and is easily managed with a single IP address for the entire stack.

Standards Protocols

Based on the ADTRAN Operating System (AOS), these devices offer support for Link Aggregation (802.3ad), Port Mirroring, port- based switching features including Storm Control, Spanning Tree (802.1D) and Rapid Spanning Tree (802.1w) for faster network convergence, link redundancy, and recovery from topology changes. Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) auto-discovers neighboring Ethernet devices, simplifying integration into multi-vendor environments.

VLANs

All NetVanta switches support 802.1Q trunking and up to 255 port-based VLANs to allow network managers to separate broadcast domains for effcient

network performance and traffc control. To help aid confguration in larger networks, Generic VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is also available.

Security

Rest assured, with the NetVanta 1524ST your network is protected. These products offer a variety of data security features including MAC-based port security, multilevel user passwords, Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for encrypted user login, and Access Authenthication and Authorization

(AAA)for authentication with RADIUS, RSA SecurID, and TACACS+.

QoS

NetVanta switches also support QoS to ensure network managers have the ability to prioritize mission-critical traffc and control network congestion. The NetVanta 1524ST offers 802.1p Class of Service (CoS). Each switch supports frame tagging as well as enforcement of tagged traffc received from trusted sources. Two egress queues (per port) are available for assigning traffc priorities using Strict Priority Queuing.

Administration

The AOS offers both a CLI that mimics the widely deployed, industry de facto standard and an intuitive Web-based GUI with step- by-step confguration wizards. For centralized enterprise-wide management scheme, ADTRAN offers n-Command, an intuitive, scalable software suite for managing frm- ware revisions, push frmware upgrades and confguration changes, backup and restore confgurations, and manage security policies and Access Control Lists (ACLs).

NetVanta 1000 Series of Ethernet switches are easily coupled with other ADTRAN inter- networking products including switch-routers, access routers, and multiservice access routers. All these solutions are backed by ADTRAN’s industry-leading support and services.
