Allied Telesis Rapier G6 Layer 3 Switch

Performance
Allied Telesyn’s Rapier family of Gigabit Ethernet Layer 3 switches delivers an unprecedented level of integration, feature richness, and
switching performance at affordable prices. With wirespeed Layer 2 switching and wirespeed Layer 3 IP routing on all ports, these switches
are designed for high performance workstation connectivity, power workgroups, and server farm aggregation or back-bone applications.

Flexibility and Scalability
All Rapier Layer 3 switches feature two optional uplink slots that can be individually configured with either a 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX, or
1000BaseT interface module. This flexibility provides high-speed connectivity in wiring closets, server farms, or campuses with fiber or
copper cabling. Additionally, all Gigabit ports can be configured as port trunks for greater bandwidth and load sharing.

Rich Feature Set
All Rapier Layer 3 switches include a suite of advanced Layer 2 switching features such as IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, 802.1p traffic
prioritization, and IGMP snooping to optimize network performance.The switches include Layer 3 IP Static Routing, RIP, RIPv2,VRRP, and OSPFv2 dynamic routing protocols.The optional full Layer 3 software upgrade provides a set of additional routing protocols, such as IPX, AppleTalk, DVMRP, PIM-DM/SM, and RSVP for more advanced networking applications.

Redundancy
The Rapier family of Layer 3 switches provides redundant operation with an optional Redundant Power Supply (RPS). If the internal power supply fails, the external RPS provides power to the switch. Also, Port Trunking and the Spanning Tree Protocol provide redundant links
for failure protection. OSPF and VRRP routing protocols support redundant routes as well.

Management
Although the Rapier family of Layer 3 switches is easy to install and configure, an extensive range of management support is provided. Switch management support includes Web-browser, SNMP, RMON, Telnet, and a Command Line Interface, controlling switches via a variety of mechanisms.
