AlliedWare Plus switch

Basic configuration

This configuration gets the neighbor relationship established and some routes exchanged.

Create the second VLAN and associate port1.0.2 with it; assign IP addresses; and configure BGP.

vlan database vlan 64 name v64 interface port1.0.2 switchport access vlan 64 interface vlan1

ip address 45.45.45.45/24 interface vlan64

ip address 64.64.64.64/4 router bgp 34567 redistribute connected

neighbor 45.45.45.46 remote-as 34568

AlliedWare switch

Create the second VLAN and associate port52 with it; assign IP addresses; and configure BGP.

create vlan="v2" vid=2 add vlan="2" port=52 enable ip

set ip autonomous=34568

add ip int=vlan1 ip=45.45.45.46 add ip int=vlan2 ip=52.52.52.5 set bgp ro=45.45.45.46

add bgp pe=45.45.45.45 rem=34567 ena bgp pe=45.45.45.45

add bgp imp=interface

Note: The prefix lengths on the UIP addresses on VLAN1 of the two switches are different. The VLAN1 address on the AlliedWarePlus switch has prefix length 24, and that on the AlliedWare switch has prefix length 8. Although this is a non-standard, and not recommended, configuration, it has been done deliberately for the purposes of the illustrative examples in this How To Note. By having different prefix lengths on those addresses, it is clear in the route tables of the two switches which of the 45.x.x.x routes is a connected route, and which is a BGP-learnt route.

Allied Telesis X8100, x908 manual Basic configuration

X8100, x908 specifications

The Allied Telesis x908 and the SwitchBlade x900 series of network switches are cutting-edge solutions designed to address the demands of modern networking environments. These switches are known for their high performance, reliability, and robust feature sets, making them ideal for enterprise and service provider networks.

The Allied Telesis x908 series consists of modular and chassis-based systems that can accommodate a variety of network configurations. One of the main features of the x908 series is its ability to offer high scalability with support for a large number of ports. This makes it suitable for data centers and large enterprise networks where space and bandwidth optimization are critical.

In addition to scalability, the x908 series supports advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities. This allows for efficient traffic management and routing, ensuring that data is delivered swiftly and reliably. The x908 also incorporates intelligent features such as Quality of Service (QoS), which prioritizes critical network traffic, ensuring that time-sensitive data—like voice and video—maintains its quality during transmission.

The SwitchBlade x900 series takes this functionality further with its innovative modular architecture. This allows organizations to configure their networks to meet specific needs by choosing from a variety of interface cards and service modules. The SwitchBlade x900 also supports advanced security features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs) and VLAN segmentation, which provide enhanced protection against unauthorized access and network threats.

Another hallmark of the x908 and SwitchBlade series is their support for high-speed Ethernet technologies, including 10G and 40G Ethernet. This enables organizations to keep pace with the increasing bandwidth demands of applications and services, particularly in cloud computing and data-intensive workloads.

Both the x908 and the SwitchBlade x900 series are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring power-saving technologies that reduce overall operational costs. Coupled with Allied Telesis' management tools, which provide detailed analytics and monitoring, network administrators can optimize performance and energy consumption simultaneously.

In summary, the Allied Telesis x908 and SwitchBlade x900 series offer a comprehensive suite of features, high performance, scalability, and advanced networking technologies. They represent a strategic investment for organizations looking to build resilient, efficient, and future-proof network infrastructures.
