Where n is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of digits must be separated by colons. Groups where all four digits are “0” can be omitted. Leading “0’s” in groups can also be omitted. For example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:

12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50

12c4:421e:9a8::a4:1c50

5.To assign a prefix to the IPv6 address, enter a value in the Prefix field.

The prefix is a decimal number that represents the number of bits, from left to right, that constitute the network portion of the address. (In an IPv4 address, the prefix is called the subnet mask.) For example:

The decimal mask 16 is equivalent to the prefix 255.255.0.0.

The decimal mask 24 is equivalent to the prefix 255.255.255.0.

6.To assign a default gateway to the switch, enter an IPv6 address in the Default IP Gateway field.

Use this field to assign the switch an IPv6 default gateway address. A default gateway is an address of an interface on a router or other Layer 3 device. It defines the first hop to reaching the remote subnets or networks where the network devices are located. You must assign the switch a default gateway address if the following are true:

The remote management devices, such as Telnet workstations and TFTP servers, are not members of the same subnet as the IPv6 management address.

The switch can have only one IPv6 default gateway.

The IPv6 management address and the default gateway address must be members of the same subnet.

7.Use the following format to specify the IPv4 address:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

where x is a number from 0 to 255. There are four groups of numbers that are separated by periods.

For more information about the default gateway, see “IP Management Guidelines” on page 189.

AT-9000/52, AT-9000/28SP, AT-9000/28 specifications

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.
