Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS970EMX/20 Ethernet Switch

The Allied Telesis CentreCOM GS970EMX series Layer 3 Lite switches provide Gigabit connectivity with 10 Gigabit copper and fiber uplinks. They feature a comprehensive feature-set making them ideal for secure and cost-effective access in small to medium business networks. |

Overview

Allied Telesis GS970EMX series provide high availability, security, and a basic L3 feature set. They enable Gigabit to the desktop with MultiGigabit and 10 Gigabit copper and fiber uplinks, making them ideal for the edge of modern business networks.

The compact fanless design of the 10, 20, and 28 port models provides silent operation for work area deployment.

Network Management

The GS970EMX Series support the AlliedWare Plus advanced operating system for consistent management across all devices. The industrystandard Command Line Interface (CLI) reduces time and cost, while the web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) is built in for easy-to-use visual management.

Network Security

Network security is guaranteed, with powerful control over network traffic types, secure management options, and other multi-layered security features built right in.

Network Access Control (NAC) gives unprecedented control over user access to the network, in order to mitigate threats to network infrastructure.

802.1x port-based authentication, in partnership with standards-compliant dynamic VLAN assignment, checks a user's adherence to network security policies and either grants access or offers remediation. Tri-authentication ensures the network is only accessed by known users and devices, and secure access is available for guests.

Protection from malicious network attacks is provided by security features such as DHCP snooping, STP root guard, BPDU protection, and access control lists. Each of these can be configured to perform a variety of actions upon detection of a suspected attack.

Stackable

Create a VCStack of up to four GS970EMX/20, 28, and 52 port switches with 40 Gbps of stacking bandwidth. VCStack provides a highly-available system in which network resources are spread out across stacked units, minimizing the impact should any link or unit fail.

Reliability

The GS970EMX Series support Ethernet Protection Switched Ring (EPSRing), which prevents loops in ring-based networks. EPSR offers rapid detection and extremely fast failover in the event of a link or node failure, with recovery in as little as 50 milliseconds.

The GS970EMX Series can act as the EPSR master with a premium license, ensuring resiliency in Ethernet ringbased networks.

Comprehensive Security

As AMF Plus edge nodes, the GS970EMX Series is compatible with our AMF-Security solution, which enables a self-defending network. The AMF-Sec controller responds immediately to any internal malware threats by instructing the GS970EMX to isolate the affected part of the network, and quarantine the suspect device.

ECO Friendly

The GS970EMX Series support Energy Efficient Ethernet, which automatically reduces the power consumed by the switch whenever there is no traffic on a port.

The GS970EMX Series fanless models provide silent operation, which makes them ideal for desktop or work area deployment.
