x610 Series
Layer 3+ Aggregation Switches
The Allied Telesis x610 Series is the high performing and
scalable solution for today’s networks, providing an extensive range of port-density and uplink-connectivity options.
Overview
With a choice of 24-port and 48-port versions and optional 10 Gigabit uplinks, plus the ability to stack up to eight units, the x610 Series can connect anything from a small workgroup to a large business.
High Performing
The x610 Series features fully non-
blocking switching on all ports, so IPv4 and IPv6 Layer 2 switching and Layer 3 routing occur at wirespeed with low latency. This is ideal for high-end server deployments, and, when combined with a large Layer 3 route table, for aggregating Gigabit connections.
Powerful Network Management
Meeting the increased management requirements of modern converged networks, Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF) automates many everyday tasks including configuration management. The complete network can be managed as a single virtual device with powerful centralized management features. Growing the network can be accomplished with plug-and-play simplicity, and network node recovery is fully zero-touch.
AMF secure mode increases network
security with management traffic encryption, authorization, and monitoring. AMF Guestnode allows third party devices, such as IP phones and security cameras, to be part of an AMF network.
Resilient
The x610 Series provides uninterrupted
access to online applications by implementing a network with no single point of failure. Distributing resources across a stacked group of units means
no network downtime. A fully resilient solution is created with VCStack (Virtual Chassis Stacking), where up to eight units can form a single virtual chassis with dual connections to key servers and access switches. VCStack can be implemented in the same cabinet over copper cabling, or to remote locations using fiber.
Allied Telesis EPSRing Protection Switched Ring), technology provides a high performing resilient design for distributed networks. A high­speed solution where recovery occurs within as little as 50ms can be deployed in ring-based topologies. Several switches can form a protected ring, running at up to 10Gbps.
(Ethernet
Scalable
The flexibility of the x610 Series,
coupled with the ability to stack multiple units, ensures a future-proof network. The choice of 24-port and
48-port versions and Gigabit or 10
Gigabit uplink ports enables uplink bandwidth to be tailored to suit network applications. Expansion modules are available for local and long-distance stacking. Long­distance expansion modules can be configured to provide two additional
10G ports.
Flexible endpoint deployment is ensured with the ability to power devices such as IP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points directly from the switch. This convergence of voice, video and data on today’s networks is enabled by Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+), which delivers the added benefit of reducing costs.
Secure
Multiple customers can have their own secure virtual network within the same physical infrastructure, as the x610 Series switches are able to divide a single router into multiple independent virtual routing domains. Layer 3 network virtualization provided by Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF Lite) creates independent routing domains, where IP addresses can overlap without causing conflict.
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
The x610 Series supports Energy
Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which automatically reduces the power consumed by the switch whenever there is no traffic on a port. This sophisticated feature can significantly reduce your operating costs by reducing the power requirements of the switch and any associated cooling equipment.

Key Features
Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF)
ۼۼ Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF)
is a sophisticated suite of management tools that provide a simplified approach to network management. Powerful features like centralized management, auto-backup, auto-upgrade, auto­provisioning and auto-recovery enable plug-and­play networking and zero-touch management.
ۼۼ Any x610 Series switch can operate as the
AMF network master, storing firmware and
configuration backups for other network nodes. The AMF master enables auto-provisioning and auto-upgrade by providing appropriate files to new network members. New network devices can be pre-provisioned making installation easy because no on-site configuration is required.
ۼۼ A MF secure mode encrypts all AMF traffic, provides
unit and user authorization, and monitors network access to greatly enhance network security.
ۼۼ AMF Guestnode allows Allied Telesis wireless
access points and further switching products, as well as third party devices such as IP phones and security cameras, to be part of an AMF network.
VCStack (Virtual Chassis Stacking)
ۼۼ Create a VCStack of up to eight units with
48Gbps of stacking bandwidth to each unit.
Stacking links are connected in a ring so each device has dual connections to further improve resiliency. VCStack provides a highly available system where network resources are spread out across stacked units, reducing the impact if one of the units fails. Aggregating switch ports on different units across the stack provides excellent network resiliency.
Long-distance Stacking
ۼۼ Long-distance stacking allows a VC Stack to
be created over longer distances, perfect for a distributed network environment.
EPSRing (Ethernet Protection Switched Ring)
ۼۼ EPSRing and 10 Gigabit Ethernet allow several
x610 switches to form high-speed protected rings capable of recovery within as little as 50ms. This feature is perfect for high performance and high availability in enterprise networks.
ۼۼ SuperLoop Protection (SLP) enables a link between
two EPSR nodes to be in separate EPSR domains, improving redundancy and network fault resiliency.
Easy to Manage
ۼۼ Allied Telesis x610 Layer 3+ switches run the
advanced AlliedWare Plus™ Layer 3 fully featured operating system, delivering a rich feature set and an industry-standard CLI. In addition to the CLI, x610 switches feature a comprehensive GUI for easy access to monitoring and configuration.
Industr y leading Quality of Service (QoS)
ۼۼ Comprehensive low-latency wirespeed QoS
provides flow-based traffic management with full classification, prioritization, traffic shaping and min/max bandwidth profiles. Enjoy boosted network performance and guaranteed delivery of business-critical Ethernet services and applications. Time-critical ser vices such as voice and video take precedence over non­essential services such as file downloads, maintaining responsiveness of Enterprise applications.
Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
ۼۼ With PoE, a separate power connection to media
endpoints such as IP phones and wireless access points is not necessary. PoE+ provides even greater flexibility, providing the capability to connect devices requiring more power (up to 30 Watts) —for example, tilt and zoom security cameras.
ۼۼ Build a redundant PoE+ high-availability solution
using VCStack and additional RPS units. See the x610 PSU PoE options table on page 5 for details.
VLAN ACLs
ۼۼ Simplify access and traf fic control across entire
segments of the network. Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be applied to a Virtual LA N (VLAN) as well as a specific port.
sFlow
ۼۼ sFlow is an industry standard technology for
monitoring high-speed switched networks. It provides complete visibility into network use, enabling performance optimization, usage accounting/billing, and defense against security threats. Sampled packets sent to a collector ensure it always has a real-time view of network traffic.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6)
ۼۼ DHCPv6 is used to dynamically assign IPv6
addresses to hosts from a central location. Acting as DHCPv6 client enables the switch to receive an
IPv6 address, and acting as server enables the switch to dynamically allocate IPv6 addresses to hosts. The DHCPv6 ser ver and client both support the Prefix Delegation feature which
allocates a whole IPv6 subnet to a DHCP client. The client, in turn, can allocate addresses from this subnet to the hosts that are connected to it.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRPv3)
ۼۼ VRRPv3 is a protocol for providing device
redundancy, by connecting redundant WAN gateway routers or server access switches in an
IPv6 network. It allows a backup router or switch to automatically take over if the primary (master) router or switch fails.
Find Me
ۼۼ In busy server rooms consisting of a large
number of equipment racks, it can be quite a job finding the correct switch quickly among many similar units. The “find me” feature is a simple visual way to quickly identif y the desired physical switch for maintenance or other purposes, by causing its LEDs to flash in a specified pattern.
Optical DDM
ۼۼ Most modern optical SFP/SFP+/XFP
transceivers support Digital Diagnostics
Monitoring (DDM) functions according to the specification SFF-8472. This enables real time monitoring of the various parameters of the transceiver, such as optical output power, temperature, laser bias current and transceiver supply voltage. Easy access to this information simplifies diagnosing problems with optical modules and fiber connections.
Active Fiber Monitoring
ۼۼ Active Fiber Monitoring prevents eavesdropping
on fiber communications by monitoring received optical power. If an intrusion is detected, the link can be automatically shut down, or an operator alert can be sent.
UniDirectional link Detection
ۼۼ UniDirectional Link Detection (UDL D) is useful
for monitoring fiber-optic links between two switches that use two single-direction fibers to transmit and receive packets. UDLD prevents traffic from being sent across a bad link by
blocking the ports at both ends of the link in the event that either the individual transmitter or receiver for that connection fails.

Key Solutions
Distributed Core
VCStack LD (Long Distance) enables the VCStack solution to provide a distributed network core. The increased distance provided by fiber stacking connectivity means that members of the virtual chassis do not need to be co-located. Instead, they can be kilometers apart. Diagram 1 shows an example of a long distance stack, where the single virtual distributed core ensures high availability of data for network users.
Network Virtualization
Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF Lite) allows multiple customers to share a common infrastructure, while maintaining their own independent virtual routing domains. Individual customers can take advantage of shared resources such as printers and Internet access via filtered inter-VRF communication, while maintaining absolute security. See diagram 2.
