Allied Telesyn launches fiber Gigabit managed switch

Allied Telesyn announced the availability of its
AT-9408LC/SPL2 fiber Gigabit managed switch. It is ideal for traditional
enterprise LANs, defense industries and financial institutions that require
Gigabit, advanced security and fiber connection for fiber-to-the-desktop
networks.

The AT-9408LC/SP comes with a compact flash card slot, which
is used to store logs, update firmware or patch, store configuration files and
to

support script files. It offers advanced attack detection and suppression
capabilities for increased security and advanced quality of service (QoS) to

support converged applications. QoS refers to the ability to intelligently
manage network traffic to allow stable and predictable end-to-end network
performance.

The AT-9408LC/SP is an advanced Layer 2 managed Gigabit
switch for the access edge that brings enhanced security to Gigabit networks.
With AlliedWare technology, it allows network administrators to configure the
switch to examine packet formats and content from layer 2, layer 3, or layer 4
(also known as the MAC, IP and TCP/UDP layers). After these layer parameters are
defined and detected, the switch can

trigger network decisions such as Access Control Lists for protection against
DoS attacks, establishing rate limits for excessive bandwidth usage and altering
QoS to support converged applications.

Coupled with security features such as 802.1x (port-based
network access control) and Radius/TACACS+, the AT-9408LC/SP provides tiered
security on each port. Deploying tiered security in unsecured areas such as
visitors' meeting rooms and lounges provide cost-effective protection at the
network layer.
