1.1 Product concept

The AX3800S series consists of a box-type multi-layer switch designed to balance costs withthe functionality and switching performance required by data center or enterprise networks
while inheriting the carrier-grade switch technologies developed by ALAXALA to implement
its goal of a "guaranteed network."

1.2 Usage examples

The AX3800S consists of a high-performance multi-layer switch that inherits the functionality
and reliability of the AX3650S series, combining this with AX6700S-class switching capacity.
It can be used for a wide variety of purposes, for example as a small/medium-size network, auser aggregation switch for a provider, or as a server aggregation switch utilizing its
high-capacity switching performance and 10G interface.

2. Features
2.1 AX3800S series features(1) High-performance, high-density and compact design• Packet processing capability with maximum switching capacity of 1208 Gbit/s(AX3830S-44X4QW)– Ideal for use as a core switch in an enterprise or a top-of-rack switch in a data center• Support for 40 gigabit Ethernet– QSFP+ used as a 40 gigabit Ethernet transceiver(AX3830S-44X4QW)– Provision of low-cost connecting solutions by supporting direct attach cables• Compact chassis– Up to 44 ports for 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-R (SFP+))Up to four ports for 40 gigabit Ethernet (40GBASE-R (QSFP+)) (AX3830S-44X4QW)– Up to 48 ports for gigabit Ethernet(four ports for fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T and 44 ports for 1000BASE-X (SFP))– Installation space saving, 4.3 cm height (1U) compact design(AX3830S-44XW/AX3830S-44X4QW)(2) Stack functionality that enables fault-tolerant switches• Highly scalable fault-tolerant switches– By configuring a device consisting of multiple devices, communication can continue even
if a partial fault occurs.
– By adding devices, the number of available ports can be increased.
• Traffic forwarding that is not dependent on the bandwidth of stack ports– If traffic is forwarded to a link aggregation where ports are on multiple member
switches, the traffic can be forwarded from the link aggregation port of the member
switch containing the line that received the traffic.
• Non-stop software update– Software can be updated without interrupting network communication by switching
between the master and backup switches.
• Reduction in costs through centralized management– By using multiple devices as a single device, centralized management is possible.
(3) Network partitioning• Horizontal and vertical network integration reduces costs.
– By using the VRF functionality, which virtually combines logically separated switches
into a single switch, networks that were once physically separate entities can exist
within one physical network.
– 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 andsites.
– Deploying Layer 3 box switches with VRF support in each location makes it possible tovirtualize a wide-area network with many locations.

Ver.11.11• L2 loop avoidance– The UDLD functionality prevents loops at the spanning tree or frame loss at linkaggregation.
– The L2 loop detection functionality prevents loops by detecting improperly connected
devices on the network.
(Note 1) GSRP (Gigabit Switch Redundancy Protocol)
For more information, see the manual on our website.
(Note 2) A monitoring functionality that uses polling to check access on a specified route for rerouting by
dynamically interlocking VRRP and static routing.

(7) Power saving• Power saving functionality– Provides power saving functionality that limits power supplied to ports, LEDs, and theSwitch itself. Functionality can be selected according to the operational status of theuser.
• Scheduling– The Switch can control power supply to ports and the Switch itself according to specified
schedules for long holidays, Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays, or nighttime. Powersupply control can be also automatically disabled.
• Graphic power consumption information– Consumed power and total consumption display with operation commands and MIBs.
• Low power consumption– Low power consumption is considered at the architecture design and part selection
phases. This contributes to the reduced TCO after introduction.
(8) Easy-to-operate user interface (configuration commands)• Industry-standard command line interface is supported.
– Same format is used for the input commands and configuration information forimproved ease of operation.
– Copying and pasting of configuration information is supported.
(9) Excellent network management, maintenance, and operation• CFM (Connectivity Fault Management) (Ether OAM)
– Connectivity monitoring and failure management at the Layer 2 level are available
based on Continuity Checks (CC), Loopbacks, and Link Traces.
• In addition to the basic MIB-II, many other MIBs including IPv6-MIB and RMON aresupported.
• The mirror port functionality can be used to monitor and analyze traffic (at both of thereceiving and sending ports).
• Online maintenance– It is possible to continue communication through partial reboot at the time of
configuration change.
• Support for SD memory cards– Users can easily back up the configuration and save error information.
– Maintenance tasks are simplified.
• Switch cooling to suit your operating environment– Allows air flow selection (front-side air intake and rear-side air exhaust, or rear-side air
intake and front-side air exhaust) to increase flexibility regarding cooling system designfor data centers.
• sFlow allows detailed flow statistic information to be retrieved.

Ver.11.11(11) Robust security• Advanced and fine-grained packet filtering– Hardware-based high-performance filtering processes are available.
– With the outbound filtering functionality, each model can efficiently
consolidate security rules on a destination network basis.
– Partial specification of Layer 2/3/4 headers– Scalability with multiple conditions acceptable
The maximum numbers of filter entries can be defined as 1024 for IN per device
and 1024 for OUT per device.
• Layer 2 VPN based on VLAN tunneling• IEEE 802.1X, which provides a high level of operation security, is supported.
• Various VLANs are supported (Port VLANs, protocol VLANs, MAC VLANs, and VLAN
tags).
• It is possible to use RADIUS/TACACS+ to restrict issuable commands for each log-in
password authentication and user.
• Unauthorized DHCP servers and terminals with fixed IP addresses are excluded fromnetworks.
– Each model provides robust security by eliminating unauthorized DHCP servers andterminals with fixed IP addresses using DHCP snooping.
(12) Network authentication• Eliminating unauthorized users– Brought-in PCs and other devices without the capability to be managed via security
measures cannot be connected to a network.
– Preventing outsiders from accessing the network• Protecting server information– Department servers installed without authorization are not properly made inaccessible
to unauthorized users (password protected) in many cases; such servers are disabled
and cannot be connected to a network (unlimited use of servers that are not properly
made inaccessible to unauthorized users may lead to information leaks; information
leaks are prevented on the network side.)– Access to servers by users without access rights is limited (dynamic VLANs are used).
• Protecting client PCs– Client PCs, which are likely not to be properly blocked to unauthorized users, areprotected from unauthorized access to prevent information leaks.
• Problem occurrence traceability– Based on the unsuccessful authentication history, when and by whom unauthorizedaccess occurs is checked.
– When improper network use is discovered, when and by whom the network access occurs
is checked based on the successful authentication history.
• Authentication under an environment where different types of computers coexist– Even in a mixed network of different types of computers, the series models can perform
network authentication by supporting three different authentic methods: the IEEE
802.1X functionality, Web authentication, and MAC-based authentication.
• Significant reduction in total cost
– It is possible to perform network authentication even when access is made via an island
hub in an environment where no terminal is directly housed in the floor switches.
It is possible to increase user capacity at a low cost by using island hubs.

policy, including PCs with unauthorized software installed or unpatched PCs.
– The network prohibits access from infected PCs that may compromise information
systems on business networks.
– Quarantine networks reduce the operation cost by letting the quarantine server
centrally manage the security policy for terminals.
• The network can work together with many quarantine systems:– Microsoft NAP– NOSiDE (NTT Data)– JP1 (Hitachi, Ltd.)– InfoCage (NEC)(14) Enhanced Layer 2 functionality supported• Variety of VLAN functionality– Port VLAN, protocol VLAN, MAC VLAN, and VLAN tag implemented– Enables purpose-built VLANs• Various Spanning Tree Protocols supported– STP (IEEE 802.1D), Rapid STP (IEEE 802.1w), PVST+, and MSTP (IEEE 802.1s)

Ver.11.11(Note 1) The measurement conditions are as follows:• Physical media: 1000BASE-T, 10GBASE-R, 40GBASE-R• Packet type: Layer 2 forwarding without flooding• Packet length: 64 bytes• QoS and filtering: Not set(Note 2) For AX3830S-44X4QW, wire-rate forwarding is possible on ports other than 10/100/1000BASE-T ports.
Wire-rate forwarding is not possible on the four 10/100/1000BASE-T ports.
(Note 3) As these network interfaces are provided by using shared SFP/SFP+ ports, if you use the shared ports for
1000BASE-X/1000BASE-T (SFP),
subtract the number of network interfaces used by these ports from this value.
(Note 4) These are SFP/SFP+ shared ports.
Therefore, the number of available ports is reduced by the number of shared ports used for 10GBASE-R(SFP+).
(Note 5) Only 1000BASE-T is supported.
(Note 6) UTP ports support 10/100/1000BASE-T full duplex only.
(Note 7) If 10/100/1000BASE-T for AX3830S-44X4QW is used for 1000BASE-T, the throughput is limited toapproximately 600 Mbit/s depending on the packet length, and packets might be discarded regardless of thepriority (the throughput value includes gap between frames and preamble).
(Note 8) This is the range within which normal operation is guaranteed.
(Note 9) Specifications for input voltage of 200 V AC.
(Note 10) Do not install the Switch in the following locations. Failure to observe this caution might shorten the life of
the Switch.
• Locations where the Switch is exposed to hydrogen sulfide (as in a hot spring area) or salt (as in a sea shorearea).
(Note 11) 0 °C to the maximum value at startup or when using an SFP-BX1U/1D or SFP-BX4U/4D.
