ALAXALA multi-layer switches

AX6600S Series
1. Overview
The ALAXALA AX6600S series of multi-layer switches offers the following two models:

AX6604S

AX6608S

1.1 Product concept
The AX6600S series of high-end multilayer switches achieves space saving by integrating switch control
units and packet processing units, environmental friendliness through a dynamic power saving functionality,
and scalability of slot bandwidth for large capacity and high performance.
1. Large capacity, high performance, and compact design
Scalability of slot bandwidth for large capacity and high performance is realized by parallel distributed
processing while also integrating switch control units and packet processing units to achieve a morecompact design. The AX6608S switch has a chassis with a height of 7U and can accommodate 192
1-gigabit Ethernet lines.
2. High reliability and availability
The AX6600S series contains hardware and software that guarantees high reliability and availability,
as already demonstrated in the AX7800R, AX7800S, and AX5400S series. In addition, functionality that
improves reliability, such as link aggregation, graceful restart, GSRP, and the Autonomous Extensible
Ring Protocol, have been added to the switches to construct highly reliable networks.
3. Operation and management cost reduction
By integrating multiple virtual service networks within one physical network, network partitions canbe created to reduce building and operating costs.
4. Environmentally friendly design
The intensive engine system in the AX6600S series reduces the number of ASICs used per switch, thus
reducing power consumption for the all switches in a network. In addition, the AX6600S series reduces
network power consumption by scheduling daily, weekly, and hourly operations for each switch based on
periods of low network usage, such as at night and on weekends, or by using the power saving
functionality that automatically changes switch power conditions according to the amount of traffic
between switches.
5. High level of security
The AX6600S series supports IEEE 802.1X and Web authentication. In combination with MAC
VLANs, the AX6600S series also offers highly secure VLANs in dynamically changing environments.
Through MAC-based authentication, users can also authenticate printers and other switches.
Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) can prevent unauthorized traffic such as spoofing.

2. Features
2.1 Features of the AX6600S series(1) Unified architecture across the series
・ An intensive engine system concentrates packet switching in the shared section of the switch.
・ Unique and cutting-edge ASICs provide large volume packet transfer, equivalent to that of theAX7800S series, and the intensive engine system reduces the number of ASICs required, which
ultimately reduces the price of the switch.
・ An integrate module (CSU) consisting of switch control units and packet processing units (PSP#1)
achieves compact design. Two types of intensive engines with different table sizes are lined up.
・ CSU upgrades allow for switch configurations with enhanced performance. This increases divertibilityof chassis/network interface functionality (NIF), thus reducing investment cost.
#1: A packet switching processor (PSP) is the unit for packet switching processing.

(2) Industry-leading switching capacity
・ The AX6600S series can extend switching capacity by using two types of operating modes (up to 384
Gbit/s switching capacity is possible).
– PSP single-act operation
Operates one active CSU per switch. A CSU installed on a node other than the active nodeoperates as a standby node.
- Switching capacity per switch: Maximum of 192 Gbit/s- IPv4 packet relay and MAC frame relay performance per switch: Maximum of 120
Mpackets/s– PSP double-act operation
Operates two active CSUs per switch.
- Switching capacity per switch: Maximum of 384 Gbit/s- IPv4 packet relay and MAC frame relay performance per switch: Maximum of 240
Mpacket/s(3) Power saving
・ Adopting an intensive engine system reduces the number of ASICs used per switch, which in turn
reduces the power consumed by the all switches in a network.
・ Both normal power consumption mode and power-saving mode are available. Power-saving mode
improves bandwidth aggregation efficiency by allowing the ASICs to be operated at lower operating
frequencies. Even in power-saving mode, all functionality except the switching-capacity suppressionfunctionality can be used.
・ The AX6600S series offers dynamic power saving functionality that saves power for the network
system during periods of low network usage, such as at night or on weekends. Based on the volume of
network usage, this functionality schedules daily, weekly, or hourly operation for each switch. In
addition, it automatically switches the power mode and changes the PSP of a standby CSU or standby
NIF to cold standby status without interrupting the network.
・ Idling power consumption can be reduced by keeping the PSP of a standby CSU or standby NIF in thecold standby status, which reduces power consumption.
(4) High quality, reliability, and availability
・ High-quality devices– High reliability through carefully selected parts and strict design and inspection requirements– Stable routing guaranteed by inheriting the software for the AX5400S, AX7800S, and AX7800R
series, which have a proven track record on carrier networks
・ High level of failure tolerance– All major components include a failure detection mechanism.
– Redundancy within switches for power supplies, CSUs, and NIFs
– Link aggregation across slots allows redundancy of interface parts. In addition, power saving canbe achieved by redundant NIFs.
– Hot standby redundancy is supported for CSUs to minimize downtime during failures.

・ Rapid re-routing– The hot standby mechanism delivers rapid re-routing for Layers 2 and 3.
(Layer 2: GSRP, Layer 3: GSRP and VRRP)– Link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) provides link redundancy at the Layer 2 level.
– By making specified remote routes reachable, static/VRRP polling can provide dynamic
re-routing.
– The implementation of the Autonomous Extensible Ring Protocol supports diverse ring network
configurations. With this functionality, rapid and stable hardware-based Layer 2 redundancy ispossible.
– OSPF balances loads by distributing IP-level traffic and avoiding path failures.
・ Layer 2 loop avoidance– UDLD prevents spanning tree loops and link aggregation frame loss.
– The Layer 2 loop detection functionality detects improperly connected devices on the network,
which helps prevent loops.
・ Prevents failure propagation– Normal user traffic can be reduced by minimizing broadcast traffic.
(Storm control functionality)
・ Rapid rebooting– Graceful restarts can be performed, minimizing the time needed to resume communications
during a reboot.
・ Online maintenance and upgrades– Partial reboots allow for uninterrupted user operation whenever a module is added or aconfiguration is changed.
– Modules, power supplies, and fans can be added or replaced with the power on, increasing
maintainability during operation.
– Boards can be replaced with the power on and without using commands.
– Software can be updated without needing to stop services.
(5) Industry-leading 10-gigabit Ethernet
・ High-density 10-gigabit Ethernet– 64 10-gigabit Ethernet ports are provided on every switch. (XFP support module)・ Large number of 1-gigabit Ethernet ports– 192 1000BASE-X ports are provided on every switch. (SFP support module)– 192 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports are provided on every switch.
(6) Robust security
・ Advanced and precise packet filtering– Hardware-based advanced filtering・ Partial and multiple conditions can be specified for Layer 2, 3, and 4 headers.
・ User authentication based on IEEE 802.1X, Web authentication, and MAC VLANs (VLAN access is
restricted via MAC addresses) allows for highly secure VLANs to exist in an environment like awireless LAN office, where user needs often change.
・ Devices such as printers can be authenticated by using MAC-based authentication.
・ uRPF prevents IP address spoofing.
・ Unauthorized DHCP servers and terminals with fixed IP addresses are excluded from networks.
– The AX6600S series provides strong security measures via functionality such as DHCP snooping,which eliminates unauthorized DHCP servers and terminals with fixed IP addresses.
(7) Network partition support
・ Horizontal and vertical network integration reduces costs.
– By using the VRF functionality, which virtually combines logically separated switches into asingle switch, networks that were once physically separate entities can exist within one physicalnetwork.
– Networks can be easily constructed and managed by placing Layer 3 switches at a central
location and then connecting them to Layer 2 switches at individual offices and sites.

– Selects optimal routes according to the status of a forwarding destination.
(12) Compact design
・ The power supply is inserted into the rear panel with a low profile, allowing switches to be easily andefficiently placed in racks.
(13) Excellent network management, maintenance, and operation
・ CFM (Connectivity Fault Management) (Ether OAM)
– Connectivity monitoring and failure management are available at the Layer 2 level by performing
continuity checks (CC), loopbacks, and linktraces.
・ In addition to the basic MIB-II, many other MIBs, including IPv6-MIB and RMON, are supported.
・ The port mirroring functionality allows you to monitor and analyze actual user traffic without
affecting user communications. Network failures can be isolated. In addition, the sampling mirroringprocess, which samples target packets, allows you to monitor 1-gigabit and 10-gigabit Ethernet
connections using a low-performance, general-purpose computer.
・ Statistics can be collected for specific flows/ports and VLANs for any line speed, ranging from 10
Mbps to 10 Gbit/s.
・ An ALAXALA CLI, which is the same for all AX series products, is used. This helps reduce the costsof training maintenance personnel.
