Resiliency Link Configurations via Switch Ports

x610 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switches Installation Guide

Two resiliency-link configurations that connect to switch ports are shown below. Figure 35 shows the resiliency link connecting in a ring topology, whilst Figure 36 shows the resiliency link connecting to its switch ports via a network hub. In both configurations, the resiliency link connections are made using the ResiliencyLink VLAN and attaching the switch ports to the VLAN.

For more information about the stack resiliency link refer to the Stacking Introduction and Stacking Commands chapters in the AlliedWare Plus Operating System Software Reference from www.alliedtelesis.com.

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.
