CR00015071

IP Gateway

2

Routing over a PPP interface could fail if the switch had a default route out

 

 

 

 

an Ethernet port. The default route switched all packets, even those

 

 

 

 

destined for the PPP interface.

 

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. The resolution involves adding routes over

 

 

 

 

the PPP interface to the switch hardware tables with an instruction to trap

 

 

 

 

these packets to the CPU. Therefore these routes now appear in the

 

 

 

 

hardware tables, and can be displayed by using the command show

 

 

 

 

switch table=ip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CR00015132

Switch

2

If a trunk group did not have any ports associated with it, viewing the

 

 

GUI

 

Trunk page in the GUI caused the switch to reboot.

 

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CR00015190

Switch

2

When multicast data was being forwarded at L2 through the switch

 

 

 

 

during startup and a slave switch controller was present, the switch

 

 

 

 

sometimes rebooted.

 

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

CR00015697

Switch

2

Mirroring the traffic on port 1 of any line card caused the switch to lose

 

 

 

 

packets.

Asyn

3

If information was sent to a console (asyn) port that had no cable plugged

 

 

 

into it, excessive CPU usage occurred.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

CR00012858

DHCP

3

Previously, it was not possible to have multiple static DHCP entries with the

 

 

 

same client ID (MAC address), even if the static entries were for different

 

 

 

DHCP ranges.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. You can now add static DHCP entries for a

 

 

 

given MAC address to multiple ranges. Note that you cannot have

 

 

 

multiple entries for a given MAC address on the same range.

4000 Series specifications

The Allied Telesis 4000 Series is designed to meet the growing demands for reliable and scalable networking solutions in enterprise environments. This series offers a range of stackable, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet switches, combining advanced features with robust performance to ensure seamless connectivity and superior network management.

One of the standout features of the Allied Telesis 4000 Series is its versatile stacking capability. The switches can be stacked together, enabling them to function as a single unit. This simplifies network management and provides enhanced redundancy, allowing for easy scaling without disrupting operations. The stacking technology supports high-speed interconnections, ensuring that data transfer between switches remains efficient and reliable.

The 4000 Series is equipped with advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching functionalities. This dual-layer capability allows for both basic data linking and more complex routing operations, providing a flexible solution for organizations with diverse networking needs. With support for VLAN segmentation, organizations can optimize their bandwidth usage and enhance security by isolating network traffic.

Security is a crucial aspect of the Allied Telesis 4000 Series. Features such as IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, dynamic VLAN assignment, and advanced access control lists (ACLs) ensure that unauthorized access is prevented. The switches also support secure management protocols, providing peace of mind for network administrators who need to maintain compliance with industry regulations.

The Allied Telesis 4000 Series integrates Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, enabling the switches to supply power to connected devices, such as IP cameras and VoIP phones, directly through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies, simplifying installation and reducing clutter, particularly in environments where space is at a premium.

For performance, the 4000 Series boasts high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications. The switches come equipped with advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features, allowing network administrators to prioritize critical traffic and ensure that applications perform optimally, even during peak usage times.

In conclusion, the Allied Telesis 4000 Series offers a comprehensive solution for organizations seeking reliable, secure, and scalable networking equipment. With its advanced stacking capabilities, dual-layer functionality, robust security features, and PoE support, this series is well-suited for modern enterprise networking demands. Whether for a small office or a larger data center, the Allied Telesis 4000 Series delivers the performance and flexibility required in today’s dynamic networking environments.
