SWITCHBLADE® 4000
Layer 3 Modular Switch
AT-SB4004
AT-SB4008
Designed to meet the most demanding performance requirements of enterprise class networks, the SwitchBlade
®
4000 Series Layer 3 modular switches are ideally suited to network aggregation and server connectivity. Packaged in four or eight slot modular chassis configurations, the SwitchBlade
®
4000 Series blends state-of-the-art Layer 3 functionality with industry leading value. Redundancy and resiliency features including hot-swappable Power Supply Units (PSUs), fan trays, line cards and redundant controllers ensure high system availability. The switching architecture delivers wire-speed switching and IP/IPX routing with advanced, flexible policy-based quality of service and rich multicast support. Multiple user interface options provide a set of configuration and control features that facilitate effortless manageability while allowing maximum flexibility and control of the network.
Eliminate network bottlenecks and boost network performance
AT-SB4000 Series offers uncompromised packet switching performance, delivering Layer 2 and Layer 3 IP/IPX data at wire-speed on all ports regardless of packet size. With a switch capacity of up to 384 Gbps yielding 286 Mpps of throughput, the AT-SB4000 Series seamlessly meets the demands of education, government, and enterprise networks.
Secure your company
The AT-SB4000 Series offers many advanced features to ensure company security:Wire­speed Filtering, MAC control, Por t-Intrusion
Detection, Access Control Lists, Por t Security, Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL). With 4096 VLANs available, which are Port, Protocol, Subnet, and MAC Address based, security across VLANs is assured.The security features (MAC & IP addresses, SYN, ACK bit level) are in the hardware.
Minimize the cost of downtime
The SwitchBlade®hot-swappable switch controllers, power supplies, and line cards ensure that this core network device keeps networks alive 24/7.
With N+1 power supply redundancy downtime is completely eliminated. Cooling is assured with up to 11 cubic meters / minute of airflow for the four fan AT-SB4004, and up to 19 cubic meters / minute of airflow for the six fan AT-SB4008.
Hot-swappable switch controllers provide redundancy and, when two switch controllers are installed, sharing of load for increased performance.
Port trunking is provided to assure very reliable high-speed connections. Combining multiple physical connections in a single logical connection provides both greater bandwidth and redundancy .
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) provides automatic router backup in mission-critical environments.This feature enables multiple AT-SB4000 Series switches to share a virtual IP address, used as the default LAN gateway. Should the master fail, the virtual IP address is seamlessly assumed by the other switches.This results in a down-time of only three seconds. Meanwhile, LAN devices can continue to be configured (for example with DHCP) with a single default gateway address.
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) prevents loops in Layer 2 networks and also provides rapid system recovery following a failure in the network.

Quality of Service
The AT-SB4000 Series market leading Quality of Service (QoS) mechanism allows traffic shaping in a highly programmable manner, based on Layer 2 to Layer 4+ packet characteristics. The resulting 128 different Classes of Traffic enable flexible policy enforcement with independent latency and 64kbps increment min/max bandwidth guarantees. AT-SB4000 Series units use IEEE 802.1p, DiffServ, Layer 4 filtering and RSVP along with sophisticated hardware based switching to deliver a rich QoS capability. The AT-SB4000 Series fits into education and government networks requiring separation of multicast traffic and dual staff and student networks all running over a single infrastructure. It is also scalable with a large number of traffic classes with varying requirements as is typical in today’s converged application-based networks.
Multimedia capable multicasting
With multicast protocols such as IGMP, IGMP Snooping, DVMRP, PIM-SM, and PIM-DM, the AT-SB4000 Series delivers TV cable broadcasting, video conferencing, phone­conferences, phone, and web-browsing capabilities. Multicasting between VLANs at wire-speed is also offered for streaming server application with clients on different VLANs.
Broadcast storm control
A traffic storm occurs when packets flood the network, creating excessive traffic and degrading network performance. The broadcast storm control (BCSC) feature allows the user to set limits for each VLAN.This is useful to prevent traffic congestion of the network and inefficient usage of the core.
World class software
The AT-SB4000 Series includes AlliedWare
®
software, allowing simple configuration and control without compromising flexibility. The switches have built-in DHCP server ;TFTP for image and configuration downloads; Network Time Protocol client and server capabilities; advanced, customizable triggers with an e-mail client allowing unmatched flexibility in monitoring and controlling events; standard CLI and highly intuitive GUI device configuration tools plus full SNMP and MIB support for network management - accessed either in-band or out-of-band via serial console or 10/100Base-T port.The AT-SB4000 Series leads the market with an extensive suite of Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, including static routing, routing protocols (RIP/RIPv2, OSPF), multicast protocols (IGMP, IGMP Snooping, DVMRP, PIM-SM, PIM-DM), IP, IPX, 4096 VLANs, and flexible por t trunking with link aggregation.These features are bundled to suit the needs of a standard application or for an advanced architecture.

AlliedView - EMS
AlliedView-EMS is a Java-based device management solution from Allied Telesis that provides a user-friendly, window-based environment to manage the AT-SB4000 Series Switch, as well as the complete lineup of Allied Telesis managed devices. Whether managing a large network distributed across multiple sites or a small network with only a handful of nodes, AlliedView-EMS provides the tools needed to effectively monitor and proactively manage Allied Telesis's intelligent networking products.
Triggered Events
A trigger sets off an ordered sequence of scripts and commands to be executed when a certain event occurs, providing a powerful mechanism for automating the response to specific events. Each trigger may reference multiple scripts and any script can be used by any trigger. Using this feature, the AT-SB4000 Series Switch can, for example, send an email alert to the network manager when trouble occurs, or it can automatically shut down an interface to protect against suspected attacks.
Scripts
The scripting facility enables sequences of commands to be stored in a script and replayed at any time, allowing the AT-SB4000 Series Switch to be easily configured or quickly re-configured. This is useful when developing a complex configuration, making the same configuration change to several different Switches, or introducing a configuration change that must occur at a particular time. Scripts can be created on a PC and uploaded to the AT-SB4000 Series Switch, or they can be created using the AT-SB4000 Series Switch's own integrated text editor. They can be activated either from the command line or from a trigger.
