RAPIER 'i' SERIES | WAN Capable Layer 3 Fast Ethernet Switches
Choose from 100FX, copper Gigabit, or fiber
Gigabit modules.Alternatively, choose
unpopulated GBIC module and populate it with
one of five GBIC types from Allied Telesis.
The Rapier 'i' series offers an unmatched
combination both switching and routing
capabilities coupled with a flexible set of
specialized features and uplink options.
Fabulous Fiber
With 16 fiber 100FX ports the Rapier 16fi is
uniquely suited to demanding environments
where not only the full-feature richness and
switching performance of the Rapier 'i' switch is
needed, but also where cable security and
electro-magnetic immunity (EMI) are
considerations.As well as performing under
these demanding environments the 16fi offers
the flexibility to provide access to the end
station or to perform as an aggregation device.
Due to the exceptional cable length afforded by
16fi's 100FX ports, networks that require an
aggregation switch that provides routing
between distant sites of up to 2000 meters can
be comfortably met.
IPv6 - The Future
Don't be shut out of the next generation of the
Internet Protocol, IPv6.The Rapier series
enables networks to take advantage of IPv6's
important benefits:
• Addresses are 16Bytes long in contrast to
IPv4's 4Byte addresses.
• Globally unique addresses with more levels of
addressing hierarchy, to reduce the size of
routing tables.
• Auto-configuration of addresses by hosts.
• Improved scalability of multicast routing, by
adding a 'scope' field to multicast addresses.
• A new type of address, the 'anycast address,'
which is used to send a packet to any one of
a group of devices.
Bandwidth Limiting
All Rapier 'i' series switches come with
asymmetric bidirectional bandwidth limiting, per
port or per QoS traffic class, at no additional
cost.With bandwidth limiting, Network Service
Providers can define throughput levels for each
customer and sell their various service levels at
tiered prices.These features are ideal to manage
different applications like VoIP, Web browsing,
Video and email to manage fee-based
customers.The Rapier 'i' bandwidth limiting
feature provides the smallest granulation
available in Layer 3 products. Service Providers
can define ingress limits down to 64Kbps
segments and egress limits down to 1Mbps
segments.The segment definitions can be
asymmetric and each port can be set to
different values.An additional benefit is that loop
back ports are not required.
Stacking
Stacking provides Web and CLI based
management of up to nine switches with the
same effort as for one switch.The Allied Telesis
solution uses open standards interfaces as
stacking links so that many switches can be
stacked across different sites, which is not
possible using the proprietary stacking cable
solutions. Also the use of open standards
interfaces avoids the use of expensive
specialized hardware with limited topologies.
