Product Description
Allied Telesyn's Rapier family of 10/100Mbps Layer 3 switches delivers an unprecedented level of integration and switching performance, at affordable prices. With wire-speed Layer 2 switching and wire-speed Layer 3 IP routing on all ports, these switches are designed for high-performance desktop connectivity, workgroup and server farm aggregation or backbone applications. All Rapier Layer 3 switches feature two Gigabit Ethernet uplink slots. Each uplink slot can be configured with either a 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX or 1000BaseT interface module. This flexibility provides high-speed connectivity in the wiring closet, server farm or campus with fiber and copper cabling. The two gigabit uplink ports can be configured as redundant links for greater bandwidth and load sharing. 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. All switches include Layer 3 IP Static Routing, RIP, RIPv2 and OSPFv2 routing protocols. 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 will provide power to the switch. The Spanning Tree Protocol, port trunking and multiple WAN interfaces provide redundant links for failure protection. Although the Rapier family of Layer 3 switches are 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, allowing the switches to be controlled by a variety of mechanisms.
