IP Multicasting

Static multicast forwarding can be configured using the ADD IP INTERFACE or SET IP INTERFACE commands. Full multicast functionality requires IGMP and DVMRP or PIM-Sparse Mode.

The advanced feature licence AT-RPFL3Upgrade is required for IGMP, DVMRP and

PIM Sparse Mode.

The switch supports IP multicast routing protocols DVMRP (Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol) and PIM Sparse Mode (Protocol Independent Multicast – Sparse Mode. Management of group members is performed using IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). IGMP snooping reduces unnecessary multicast traffic between members of the same VLAN. See the IP Multicasting chapter in the Rapier Switch Software Reference.

Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Routing protocols such as RIPv1 and RIPv2 can be enabled on a VLAN. For example, the command:

ADD IP RIP INTERFACE=vlan11 SEND=RIP2 RECEIVE=BOTH

enables RIPv2 on the admin VLAN. The command:

SHOW IP RIP

displays information about RIP (Figure 19 on page 62).

With VLANs, organizations can isolate critical workloads and improve network management while ensuring that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access.

Another key characteristic of the C613-02013-00 is its extensive support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). This feature enables the switch to deliver electrical power along with data over standard Ethernet cabling. This is particularly beneficial for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, reducing the need for additional power supply infrastructure. With PoE capabilities, the switch simplifies installation and enhances flexibility in deploying network devices.

The C613-02013-00 also boasts advanced network management features, including support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for efficient monitoring and troubleshooting. This ensures that network administrators can maintain optimal performance and quickly address any issues that arise. Additionally, the switch supports network redundancy features like Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), which helps to prevent network loops and minimizes downtime.

In terms of physical characteristics, the C613-02013-00 is designed for durability and ease of deployment in various environments. Its compact form factor allows for effective space utilization in data centers and network closets. Moreover, it features a fanless design, making it suitable for deployment in noise-sensitive environments such as offices and classrooms.

In summary, the Allied Telesis C613-02013-00 is a robust network switch offering advanced features such as Layer 2 switching, PoE support, and comprehensive network management capabilities. Its design and performance make it an excellent choice for businesses seeking to enhance their network infrastructure with reliable and secure connectivity solutions.
