Allied Telesis 8100L

The Allied Telesis 8100L and S Series provide high-performance Layer 2–4 switching in an affordable fixed configuration platform.

8100L Series
AT-8100L/8 and AT-8100L/8POE switches offer 8 10/100TX ports and two Gigabit combo ports.

8100S Series
AT-8100S/24 and AT-8100S/24POE switches offer 24 10/100TX ports, two Gigabit combo ports, plus two integrated dedicated stacking connectors that deliver a total of 10Gbps stacking bandwidth to each switch. The AT-8100S/48 and AT-8100S/48POE switches offer 48 10/100TX ports, two Gigabit combo ports, plus two integrated dedicated stacking connectors that deliver a total of 10Gbps stacking bandwidth to each switch.
The AT-8100S/16F8-SC, AT-8100S/24F-LC and AT-8100S/24F-BiDi switches offer fiber connectivity with two Gigabit combo ports, plus two dedicated stacking connectors that deliver a total of 10Gbps stacking bandwidth to each switch.

Power over Ethernet
PoE models provide standards-based IEEE 802.3at (30W) Power over Ethernet. PoE+ provides greater power for applications— such as IP surveillance cameras supporting pan, tilt and zoom, IP video phones, RFID readers or wireless access points—while maintaining backward compatibility with IEEE 802.3af.

Hardware Stacking
The stacking capability integrated into the 8100S Series is configured as a resilient ring topology designed to provide high reliability and simplified management for higher port density applications. Up to eight switches of either 24 or 48 variants can be stacked together using HDMI cables, providing up to 384 ports of Fast Ethernet connectivity, manageable as a single IP entity.

Management Stacking
The 8100L and 8100S Series support Enhanced Stacking, providing CLI-based management of up to 24 switches with the same effort as for one switch. The Allied Telesis solution uses open standards Ethernet interfaces as stacking links so that many switches within the same LAN can be managed remotely as a single IP entity across different sites.

Easy Access Networking
Featuring the industry-standard CLI of AlliedWare Plus™ and Allied Telesis’ intuitive yet fully featured Web interface, the advanced switch features are accessible to a wide range of system administrators. The well-known CLI and Web interfaces significantly reduce learning time and minimize the cost of deployment.

Gigabit and Fast Ethernet SFP Support
All switches in the Series support both Gigabit and Fast Ethernet Small Form-factor Pluggables (SFPs). This makes the 8100L and S Series an ideal family for environments where Gigabit fiber switches will be phasedin over time. These series of switches allow for connectivity to the legacy 100FX hardware until it is upgraded to Gigabit. Support for both speeds of SFPs allows organizations to stay within budget as they migrate to faster technologies.

Redundant Power Options
The 8100S Series features two internal power supplies as standard, ensuring continuous switch operation of both the switch and the PoE power — even in the event of a power supply failure. 8100L Series switches support one internal power supply. 8100S Series (non-PoE) can be ordered with DC power supplies as variants to the standard product.

Low Power Consumption
The AT-8100L/8, AT-8100S/24C, AT-8100S/24 and AT-8100S/48 products are designed for silent operation, allowing use in office environments and wiring closets.

IPv6-Aware Switch
The 8100 Series functions as an Layer 2 switch in a pure IPv6 network as well as in a combined IPv4/IPv6 network. The system is capable of bridging Ethernet packets encapsulating IPv6 frames, similar to IPv4 frames. The system follows the transmission of IPv6 packets over Ethernet networks. No user configuration is required — IPv6 packets are bridged regardless of extension headers.
