908
| Advanced Layer 3 Modular Switch
Diagram 1 illustrates the SwitchBlade x908 in a Medium Business network.
This is ideal for customers who want to deploy a network solution that will
accommodate today’s needs as well as scale to meet their future needs.
Inherent in the architecture of Allied Telesis products is the ability to
implement modular growth as necessary.
Gigabit Ethernet ports are added to provide connectivity directly to the
SwitchBlade x908. These ports are used to provide Video and VoIP
connectivity directly to the center of the network. Further copper ports are
added to allow for direct connection of servers to the SwithBlade x908.
Copper ports are added through the XEM-12T, a 12 port Gigabit Ethernet
copper module. The SwitchBlade x908 links the network to the Internet
over a 100Mbps copper link via an AR750S router.
A XEM-12S, a 12 port (100/1000 BASE-X SFP) expansion module, is added
to allow for fiber uplinks from the edge switches to the SwitchBlade x908. As
the company expands, additional fiber and copper XEM modules can be
added, allowing the network to adapt in response to business needs.
The high-speed expansion bays provide copper or fiber connectivity
possibilities, delivering the ultimate in flexibility and providing complete
non-blocking traffic throughput.
