x610 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide

AT-LBM (Loop Back) Module

The x610-48Ts/X and x610-48Ts/X-POE+ switches are shipped from the factory with an AT-LBM module installed in the expansion slot on the rear panel, as shown in Figure 29. This module is factory installed for the non-stacking configuration. It provides the capability for a full line rate, non-blocking switching configuration when there are connections on the x610-48Ts/X and x610-48Ts/X-POE+ switches to all 44 copper ports, two SFP ports, and two SFP+ ports. If you need to configure the switch for stacking, you may install a VCStack stacking module in place of the AT-LBM Module.

Note

The AT-LBM module is very similar to a blank panel in its outward appearance except that it is marked with the “AT_LBM” model name in the upper left-hand corner of the faceplate.

If the AT-LBM module is replaced with either an AT-StackXG or AT-x6EM/XS2 stacking module, the switching configuration is no longer non-blocking.

Allied Telesis has made a significant mark in the networking hardware industry with its impressive lineup of switching solutions. Among these, the X610 series stands out, offering a range of models including the X610-48TS, X610-24TS/X-POE+, X610-24TS/X, X610-48TS-POE+, and X610-24TS-POE+. These switches are designed for robust performance, scalability, and energy efficiency, catering to the needs of businesses and organizations of various sizes.

The X610-48TS model features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing high-density connectivity options that are essential for modern network architectures. Complementing this, the X610-24TS models, which come with 24 ports, are ideal for smaller deployments while still delivering significant capacity and performance. The X610-24TS/X-POE+ variant enhances this capability further by incorporating Power over Ethernet, enabling the switch to deliver both data and power over the same cable. This feature simplifies installations of IP-based devices such as cameras, phones, and wireless access points.

All models in the X610 series support advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, enabling efficient network management and control. With support for VLANs, Spanning Tree Protocol, and link aggregation, these switches facilitate better traffic management and redundancy, crucial for maintaining high availability in enterprise environments. Additionally, the ability to implement Quality of Service (QoS) ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth necessary for optimum performance.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of Allied Telesis products, and the X610 series is no exception. The switches incorporate technologies like Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which helps reduce power consumption during periods of low network activity, thus lowering operational costs while supporting eco-friendly initiatives.

Security features are also robust, with mechanisms such as access control lists (ACLs), port security, and built-in DHCP snooping ensuring that the network remains secure against unauthorized access and threats. The switches are designed with a user-friendly interface for easy configuration and management, including support for SNMP and a web-based management interface.

In conclusion, Allied Telesis' X610 series, with its various models, offers an impressive blend of performance, scalability, and energy efficiency. These switches are well-suited for a wide variety of applications, making them an ideal choice for organizations looking to upgrade or establish a reliable networking infrastructure. Their advanced features, coupled with a focus on security and management, provide organizations with the tools necessary to handle current and future networking demands.
