HTTP Proxy Servers

An HTTP proxy server provides a security barrier between a private network’s PCs and the Internet. The PCs send HTTP requests (and other web traffic) to the server, which then forwards the requests appropriately. Similarly, the server receives incoming HTTP traffic addressed to a PC on the private network, and forwards it to the appropriate PC. Proxy servers can be used to block traffic from undesirable websites, to log traffic flows, and to disallow cookies.

If your browser is configured to use a proxy server, and the switch is on your side of the proxy server, you will need to set the browser to bypass proxy entries for the IP address of the appropriate interface on the switch. (See “Establishing a Connection to the Switch” on page 24 for information about giving switch interfaces IP addresses.)

To ensure that your network’s security settings are not compromised, see your network administrator for information about bypassing the proxy server on your system.

To bypass the proxy server on Internet Explorer, if your browser administration does not use a script, and the PC and the switch are in the same subnet:

1.From the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2.Select the Connections tab and click the LAN Settings button.

3.Check the “Bypass proxy server for local addresses” checkbox.

4.If necessary, click the Advanced button and enter a list of local addresses.

To bypass the proxy server on Netscape, if your browser does not use a script:

1.From the Edit menu, select Preferences

2.Click on the Advanced menu option to expand it.

3.Select the Proxies menu option

4.Enter the switch’s IP address in the “No Proxy for” list.

at-8700xl series switch specifications

Allied Telesis AT-8700XL Series Switches are sophisticated networking devices designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern enterprise environments. These managed Ethernet switches are optimized for reliability, performance, and scalability, making them ideal for various applications, from small businesses to large-scale networks.

One of the standout features of the AT-8700XL series is its robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities. This versatility allows the switches to perform both basic switching and advanced routing functions, facilitating efficient data traffic management. The series supports a wide range of standard protocols, including VLANs, STP, and RSTP, ensuring smooth and flexible network segmentation.

Another critical characteristic is the series' high-speed connectivity options. With multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports, the AT-8700XL series can handle significant data loads, ensuring seamless communication between connected devices. Furthermore, some models within the series offer 10 Gigabit uplink ports, providing the necessary bandwidth to connect to core networks or high-speed servers.

The AT-8700XL series incorporates advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features that enable network administrators to prioritize traffic effectively. This is particularly crucial for applications sensitive to latency, such as VoIP and video conferencing. By ensuring that time-sensitive data packets are transmitted promptly, the switches help maintain optimal performance across the entire network.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) support is yet another advantage of the AT-8700XL series. This feature allows the switches to deliver power to connected devices, such as IP cameras and wireless access points, via the Ethernet cable. This capability simplifies installations by reducing the need for additional power sources, ultimately saving on costs and improving efficiency.

Security is paramount in any network, and the AT-8700XL series does not disappoint. The switches employ robust security protocols, including Access Control Lists (ACLs), MAC address filtering, and DHCP snooping, to protect against unauthorized access and ensure network integrity.

In summary, Allied Telesis AT-8700XL Series Switches offer a comprehensive solution for various networking needs. With their Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, high-speed connectivity, QoS features, PoE support, and security measures, these switches are well-equipped to enhance network efficiency and reliability, making them an excellent choice for organizations looking to future-proof their infrastructure. The AT-8700XL series exemplifies Allied Telesis's commitment to delivering high-quality networking solutions that cater to the evolving demands of businesses today.
