AX3800S Series

AX3830S Models

Box-type L3 Switches Capable of 10G Multiport Accommodation, Suitable for
Use as Core Switches in Medium/Small-Scale Networks
The AX3800S is a series of 1U-sized, box-type L3 switches with 44 ports for 10 gigabit Ethernet.
The AX3800S series switches can be used as core switches capable of accommodating 10 gigabit Ethernet and 1 gigabit
Ethernet together in medium/small-scale networks. Further, they support Stack, which helps configure a redundant systemwith multiple switches, and thus realizes a fault tolerant network using both 10 gigabit Ethernet and 1 gigabit Ethernet. The
AX3830S-44X4QW, which supports 40 gigabit Ethernet, can be used as a backplane switch for stack connection that canprovide a large routing capacity.

AX3830S-44XW
AX3830S-44X4QW
Compact Body with High Port Density■ 40G Ethernet◎ AX3830S-44X4QW supports 40Gbps Ethernet interface (4 ports),
which provides enough performance for stack connection.
40Gbps Ethernet interface has become available prior
to the release of the stack function (to be released in the future).
■ 10G multiport switch◎ 1U-sized height with 44 ports for 10Gbps Ethernet interface◎ Enables mixed use of 10Gbps Ethernet and 1Gbps Ethernet,
suitable for use as a core switch in an enterprise network.
◎ Direct attach cables (not require expensive optical transceivers) canbe used to reduce the total cost for switch setup.
■ Enhanced accommodation capacity of ＭＡＣ addresses◎ Compared to AX3650S/AX3640S, the number of MAC addresses
that can be accommodated is quadrupled (32,768→131,072), which
is a satisfying level for data center networks that are experiencing
rapid virtualization of servers/storages

Stack (to be released in 2013)■ Support of fault tolerant network◎ Fast failover◎ Software update without service suspension■ Support of simple redundancy of enterprise network◎ Stack configuration using switches distanced from each other(possible to select 10G/40G, based on a distance between switches)◎ Network virtualization with protocol-free redundancy using
Stack and Network Partition together

Network virtualization (Network Partition)■ Simple and low-cost network virtualization◎ Enables VPN (Virtual Private Network) by logically dividing a network
configured of VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) and VLAN (VirtualLAN), helping achieve network integration/separation without sacrificing
network security/independence.

Stable High-Functionality Routing (IPv4/IPv6)
High Reliability and High Availability■ High reliability features◎ Improves line and route reliability with stacking, link aggregation,STPs, Graceful Restart (helper), VRRP, as well as ALAXALA’s
proprietary functions, such as GSRP (Gigabit Switch Redundancy
Protocol), VRRP Polling, Static Polling, Uplink Redundancy, L2 loop
detection, and EtherOAM.
■ L2 Ring protocol◎ Realizes a ring network without STP, which enables high-reliability
L2 redundancy capable of fast switchover. Supports a flexible
network topology configured of multiple rings using a multi-ringfeature.
■ Hot-swappable power supply unit
◎ Equipped with a built-in redundant power supply that enables hot
swapping without communication interruption.
◎ Two types of air flow are available: front-to-rear (FR type) andrear-to-front (RF type). Possible to select an air flow type that fits thecooling system of each data center (power supply and fan modulesof FR type have different model numbers from those of RF type).

■ Field-proven routing functionality same as that of core routers◎ Routing software equivalent to that of the AX7800R, which has always
been well received by many ISPs/carriers◎ Load balancing based on high-reliability routing (e.g., multipath) with
OSPF/BGP for site-to-site connection using wide-area Ethernet
and IP-VPN◎ Policy-based routing (IPv4) to choose the best route based on eachtraffic amount (supports tracking function to detect communication
faults and achieve automatic route switchover)■ IPv6/Multicast◎ Hardware-based IPv6 routing similar to IPv4 routing◎ Supports various protocols (Static, RIPng, OSPFv3, BGP4+,Multicast, and so on) responding to the diversity of IPv6 networks.

Green IT/Power Saving■ Dynamic power saving to cut unnecessary power use◎ Unused-port power saving for cutting power to unused ports■ Low power consumption◎ 1208Gbps switching capacity (AX3830S-44X4QW), low power
consumption (max. 300(W)), TCO reduction
