IP Management Guidelines

AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software Web Browser User’s Guide

See the following list for guidelines about assigning the switch a management IPv4 or IPv6 address:

You can assign the switch one IPv4 address and one IPv6 address.

A management address must be assigned to a VLAN on the switch. It can be assigned to any VLAN, including the default VLAN which has a VID of 1. For background information on VLANs, see Chapter 11, “Setting Port-based and Tagged VLANs” on page 127.

If you assign both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the switch, you must assigned them to the same VLAN.

An IPv4 management address can be assigned manually or from a DHCP server on your network. (To learn the switch’s MAC address, go to the Dashboard page. See Figure 4 on page 23.)

An IPv6 address must be assigned manually. The switch does not support the assignment of an IPv6 management address from a DHCP server.

You must assign the switch a default gateway if the network devices, such as syslog servers and Telnet workstations, are not members of the same subnet as the management address. This IP address designates an interface on a router or other Layer 3 device that represents the first hop to the remote subnets or networks where the network devices are located.

The default gateway address, if needed, must be a member of the same subnet as the management address.

The Allied Telesis AT-9000/28 is a versatile and robust network switch designed for organizations seeking to enhance their networking capability. This Layer 2 managed switch delivers a high degree of performance and reliability, making it an ideal choice for businesses that require a seamless network experience.

One of the main features of the AT-9000/28 is its 28 ports, which include 24 Fast Ethernet ports and 4 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports. This allows for flexible network configuration and scalability, accommodating both wired and wireless devices efficiently. The switch also supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDI/MDI-X, which simplifies installation and connectivity by automatically detecting and configuring the appropriate settings.

The AT-9000/28 employs advanced switching technologies, such as IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, which enables the segregation of traffic for improved security and performance. This feature is crucial for businesses that require data isolation between different departments or user groups. In addition, the switch supports quality of service (QoS) protocols, allowing for traffic prioritization. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that handle multimedia applications or VoIP services that demand reliable bandwidth.

Another significant characteristic of the AT-9000/28 is its support for port mirroring. This capability is essential for network monitoring and troubleshooting, as it allows administrators to track and analyze network traffic efficiently. Furthermore, the switch supports multiple user authentication methods, including RADIUS and TACACS+, thus enhancing network security.

The AT-9000/28 is built with energy efficiency in mind, featuring Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) technology. This reduces power consumption during periods of low traffic without compromising performance, which aids in lowering overall operational costs.

In terms of management, the AT-9000/28 offers versatile management options, including a web-based GUI, Command Line Interface (CLI), and SNMP support. This flexibility enables network administrators to configure, monitor, and troubleshoot the switch easily.

Overall, the Allied Telesis AT-9000/28 is a reliable switch well-suited for a variety of network environments. Its combination of performance, security features, and energy efficiency makes it an excellent choice for organizations looking to optimize their network infrastructure. With robust capabilities and advanced technologies, the AT-9000/28 stands out as a valuable addition to any networking setup.
