Lastly, the Flash File System (FFS) can be checked to ensure that it has successfully formatted the flash, using the command:

show file

If flash memory has been used in the past then it may already be formatted and contain files. With erased or new flash memory that has been correctly formatted, an 80 byte hidden system file is present. A typical display for an FFS is shown in Figure 14.

The AR700 Series is also equipped with advanced security features to safeguard against cyber threats. With built-in firewall capabilities, VPN support, and traffic filtering, these routers help protect sensitive data from unauthorized access and attacks. Additionally, the ability to implement VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) further enhances the security and manageability of the network.

Scalability is a key characteristic of the AR700 Series. Organizations can easily expand their network capabilities as they grow, with support for various interface modules. This flexibility enables businesses to adapt their infrastructure without the need for complete overhauls, making it a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Management and monitoring of the AR700 Series are also streamlined, thanks to user-friendly interfaces and comprehensive management tools. IT teams can efficiently configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the network, ensuring optimal performance and reducing downtime.

In summary, the Allied Telesis AR700 Series routers combine advanced routing capabilities, robust security features, and scalable designs to meet the evolving needs of modern networks.
