Overview
The XS900MX Series are the ideal 10G access switches for enterprise networks or anywhere a relay switch with 10G uplink is required. The switches also make the ideal core or aggregation switch, to connect servers and storage in a small network.
The XS916MXT features 12 x 100/1000/10GBASE-T and 4 x SFP+ slots. The AT-XS916MXS features 4 x 100/1000/10GBASE-T and 12 x SFP+ slots.
Easy management
The XS900MX Series switches feature Allied Telesis Autonomous Management FrameworkTM (AMF), a sophisticated suite of management tools that provides a simplified approach to network management.
Common tasks are automated or made so simple that the everyday running of a network can be achieved without the need for highly trained, and expensive, network engineers. Powerful features like centralized management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto-provisioning and auto-recovery enable plug-and-play networking and zero-touch management.
Resiliency
Ethernet Protection Switching Ring (EPSRingTM) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet allow several XS900MX Series switches to form a protected ring capable of recovery within as little as 50ms. This feature is perfect for high performance and high availability in enterprise networks.
Stackable
Flexi-stacking allows a user to stack two XS900MX Series switches, with the choice of using 10G SFP+ direct attach cables, or RJ45 copper connectivity. VCStackTM provides a highly available system where network resources are spread out across stacked units, reducing the impact if one of the units fails. With VCStack and the XS900MX Series, up to 28 x 10G ports can be provisioned as a single virtual switch in one rack unit.
Enhanced security
A secure network environment is guaranteed, with powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, and other multi-layered security features built right into the XS900MX Series switches:
- Tri-Authentication
- Multiple Dynamic VLAN
- Enhanced Guest VLAN
- Auth-fail VLAN
- Promiscuous/intercept web authentication
- Two-step web authentication
Advanced security features include:
- Port security
- SSH to secure remote access environment
- DHCP snooping
- RADIUS/TACACS – User authentication database
- Encryption and authentication of SNMPv3
