AES-100 User’s Guide

IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN

Your AES-100 uses the IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) which allows your device to deliver tagged/untagged packets to and from its ports. The AES-100 supports up to 255 VLANs and the maximum VLAN ID 4094.

IEEE 802.1p Priority

IEEE 802.1p Priority gives your AES-100 the ability to regenerate priority changes for ports.

Fast Mode

The AES-100’s fast mode makes use of the “tag” subset of the IEEE 802.1Q standard to identify the source port of a frame and speed traffic through a service gateway.

MAC (Media Access Control) Filtering

Use MACfilter commands to filter incoming packets based on MAC (Media Access Control) address(es) that you specify. You may enable/disable specific ports. You may specify up to five MAC addresses per port.

Secured Host

Allow up to ten remote hosts to access your AES-100 via IP addresses you specify.

System Error Logging

The system error log will record error logs locally to the AES-100 memory. These logs may be viewed again after a warm restart.

UNIX Syslog Logging

Use UNIX syslog commands to send logs to your UNIX server.

Protocol

•Multiple Protocols over AAL5 (RFC 1483)

Management

•Remote configuration backup/restore and firmware upgrade

•SNMP manageable

•Text-based management locally via console port and remotely via telnet

Security

•Password protection for system management

•Port-based VLAN

IGMP Snooping

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping reduces multicast traffic for maximum performance.

Overheating Detection and Warning

•An ALM LED turns on when the AES-100’s internal temperature is too high and turns off when the temperature has returned to a normal level.
