Product Description
The Allied AT-8550GB-40 is a powerful and versatile managed Layer 3 switch designed for enterprise networks that require high port density, advanced routing capabilities, and flexible connectivity. It features 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, providing ample connectivity for servers, workstations, and other network devices. The switch's Layer 3 capabilities enable it to perform IP routing, allowing for efficient traffic management and segmentation within larger networks, reducing reliance on external routers for inter-VLAN routing. For high-speed uplinks and network expansion, the AT-8550GB-40 is equipped with two GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) slots. These slots accept various GBIC modules (sold separately), allowing for flexible fiber optic or copper connections to network backbones, other switches, or high-bandwidth devices. This modular approach ensures that the switch can be adapted to evolving network requirements and different physical media. With a switching capacity of 96 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 71.4 million packets per second, this switch is capable of handling significant network traffic loads efficiently. It supports a 16K MAC address table for effective traffic management and includes advanced routing protocols such as static routing, RIPv1/v2, and OSPFv2 for dynamic route discovery and optimization. Management is provided through a comprehensive CLI, a user-friendly web-based GUI, and SNMP, offering administrators robust tools for configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.
