Security Features

Industry standard Spanning Tree provides redundancy and the loop avoidance capabilities to keep the network not only up, but operating at peak performance.

Based on the industry standard 802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) offers fast convergence - reducing packet loss and downtime in high-availability and high resilient networks. Industry-standard based RSTP offers instant failover to secondary links in an unlikely event of primary link failure.

This switch also offers Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP; 802.1s) for seamless integration into networks running 802.1s. Multiple Spanning Tree enables networks to utilize individual uplinks for separate VLANs thus improving the overall performance of the network. Up to 32 Spanning Tree Groups (STG's) are supported

This switch provides multiple easy-to-use configuration and management options. For compatibility, this switch offers the same AlteonOS CLI as the GbE2 family of switches. This switch also uses an industry standard network administrator CLI (comparable to Cisco®).

A Web-based management interface enables administrators to easily configure the most advanced features such as Rapid Spanning Tree, Uplink Failure Detection and SNMP management by pointing and clicking.

The switch also enables sophisticated administrators to configure and manage the switch through SNMP. Full Support is provided for SNMP v1v2 and v3.

• IP Forwarding enables traffic to be forwarded between VLANs without the need of an external router or Layer 3 switch. This reduces traffic in the core network by making Layer 3 routing decisions within the BladeSystem enclosure
  
• 250 IP interfaces
  
• 4096 ARP entries
  
• Global default route
  
• Static routing support with 128 routing table entries
  
• Dynamic Routing protocol
  
• RIP v1
  
• RIP v2
  
• OSPF
  
• VRRP(Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) to maximize high availability in complex network environments
