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.
AlliedWare
®
A common OS ensures the AT-SB4000 Series
Switch will interoperate seamlessly with other
Allied Telesis fixed function, modular routers and
all Layer 3 to Layer 7 switch families, allowing
operational investment protection for training,
management and monitoring.
A standards-based implementation assures full
interoperability with all other major network
equipment vendors. The AT-SB4000 Series Switch
is shipped "ready to run" with AlliedWare
®
,a
comprehensive software suite that includes all the
features, management capabilities and
performance today's networks demand.
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.

ports of 10/100Base-TX (RJ45), 256 ports of
100Base-FX, 192 ports of 10/100/1000Base-T,
192 ports of 1000Base-X or combinations, the

(RJ45), 128 ports of 100Base-FX, 96 ports of
10/100/1000Base-T, 96 ports of 1000Base-X
or combinations.
Cable management at the core of the network
is often a major challenge.The AT-SB4008
Switch offers a detachable cable manager to
help tame the cabling jungle.
