8100S Series Copper Switches
LAYER 2- 4 FAST ETHERNET STACKABLE/STANDALONE SWITCHES
Allied Telesis 8100S Series copper switches offer high performance
managed edge switching. This stackable / standalone Ethernet
switch series supports the advanced security features and offers the
appropriate management for user connectivity at the edge of network.
The 8100S Series consists of PoE and
non-PoE models in the congurations
of 24 10/100TX por ts and 48 10/100TX
ports. This switch series provides
two Gigabit combo (10/100/1000T /
SFP) uplink ports. Dedicated stacking
connectors on selected models deliver
a total of 10Gbps stack bandwidth. All
PoE ports support the IEEE 802.3at
(PoE+) 30W standard.
Redundant Power Options
All variants of the 8100S copper switch
family, except the AT-8100S/24C switch,
feature two internal power supplies as
standard, allowing the switches to be
powered from two separate building
feeds making the 8100S Series less
susceptible to building power failures
and ensuring continuous switch
operation. All models are designed for
front-to-back cooling.
Stacking
The physical stacking capability
integrated into 24-port switches is
designed to offer simplied management
for higher port density applications. Up
to three stackable switches of the 8100S
copper and ber series can be mixed
and stacked together to a maximum of
78 ports.
Ease of Management
Designed for rapid deployment with
the minimum of conguration time, the
8100S Series offers features such as
Voice VLAN, LLDP-MED, Enhanced
Stacking and Web management GUI
that facilitates simple and effective
approach to network management.
Voice VLAN segregates VoIP trafc
from regular Ethernet trafc and
applies to it a higher QoS. It takes the
complexity out of VoIP deployments,
ensures high voice quality and protects
time sensitive voice trafc from being
ooded by other data. LLDP-MED lets
the user auto-congure end stations to
send preconditioned trafc that adheres
to Voice VLAN congured network
policies.
Enhanced Stacking with the 8100S
Series enables the user to make
software upgrades for multiple switches
with a single command, plus update all
congurations in a single management
session.
The industry standard CLI of AlliedWare
Plus™ combined with the simple and
intuitive Web management GUI reduces
the training needs for those who require
granularity of control, by providing a
familiar interface for advanced users.
Key Benets
Reliability
» Built-in dual power supplies offers a cost-effective
and highly reliable edge platform solution for your
network.
Security
» The 8100S Series offers enhanced access, ideal
for deployment at the network edge by offering
security features such as Multi Supplicant
Authentication, RADIUS, TACACS+ ensuring a
secure network.
Manageability
» Voice VLAN and LLDP-MED features ensure
voice data priority for networks that handle high
traffic and require segregating and prioritizing.
The industry standard CLI and Web GUI offered by
the 8100S Series adds to the ease of managing
a network for new users and experienced
professionals.
Monitoring
» sFlow and RMON together give a better visibility
on the performance and use of the network, which
helps management to take appropriate decisions
crucial for an organization to function and manage
efficiently.

Simplifying the Network
AutoQoS with the 8100S Series enables
a switch administrator to enter one
command to enable all the appropriate
features for the recommended QoS
settings on edge and uplink port so this
minimizes the complexity and speeding
up the QoS deployment over the
network.
Environmentally Friendly
In keeping with our commitment to
environmentally friendly processes and
products, the 8100 Series is designed
to be green from the ground up, with
reduced power consumption and
minimal hazardous waste.
The use of highly recyclable metal,
combination of green production
processes, earth friendly packaging, high
efciency power supplies and effective
power management deliver both cost
savings and a reduced carbon footprint
for the user.
Access Control Lists
Access Control Lists work as lters that
can enable inspection and classication
of incoming frames. Specic actions can
then be performed on these dened
frames to more effectively manage the
network trafc at Layer 2 through
Layer 4. ACLs are typically used as
security mechanism, either permitting
or denying entry for packets on specic
switch ports.
Layer 3 Routing
The switch provides static IPv4 routing
at the edge of the network as well as
support for RIPv1 and RIPv2.
Effective Trafc Monitoring
In order to fully understand the
performance of the network and ensure
the ongoing smooth delivery of critical
data, users must be able to measure
and analyze the trafc in real time.
The 8100S Series facilitates effective
trafc monitoring with sFlow, an
industry-standard technology for
monitoring high-speed switched
networks gives complete visibility
into the use of the network enabling
performance optimization, accounting,
billing for usage, and even defense
against security threats.
Securing the Network Edge
The 8100S Series guarantees
protection and secure management of
administrator’s network by providing
strong security standards and
authentication mechanism for access at
the edge of a network.
IEEE 802.1x port authentication
methods such as PEAP, EAP-TLS and
EAP-TTLS suppor ted by the 8100S
Series allows network controller to
restrict external devices from gaining
unauthenticated access in to the
network.
The Multiple Supplicant Authentication
enables the switch to uniquely
authenticate and apply the appropriate
policies and VLAN for multiple users or
devices on a shared por t, allowing port
expansion while keeping the network
secure.
Power over Ethernet
The 8100S Series comes in
congurations of 24- and 48-port PoE.
Both support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at),
which delivers up to 30W per port.
Power over Ethernet allows user to
network and power a device using single
Ethernet cable, thus eliminating the
need for additional power outlets and
simplifying the network installation. It is
also unaffected by local variance in AC
power, offering a standardized power
infrastructure.
PoE+ with up to double the power
provides superior power-management
capability, as automatic power allocation
can be made based on the exact
requirement of the power device at a
given time.
Gigabit and Fast Ethernet SFP
Support
The 8100S Series suppor ts both
Gigabit and Fast Ethernet Small FormFactor Pluggable (SFP) uplinks. The
dual-speed ports make this series ideal
for environments where Gigabit ber
switches will be phased in over time.
The 8100S Series allows for connectivity
to the legacy 100FX hardware until the
uplink device is upgraded to Gigabit.
