NetVanta® 1544F is a managed, 28-port, Layer 3,
Gigabit Ethernet switch designed as an access
layer or network backbone switch for small to
medium-sized businesses. With the combination
of the advanced multi-layer switching fabric, high-
bandwidth capabilities, and enhanced Quality of
Service (QoS) features, the NetVanta 1544F is ideal as
an aggregation switch for high-bandwidth Voice over
IP (VoIP), and converged voice and data networks.
Hardware
The NetVanta 1544F rackmount switch provides
28 Gigabit Ethernet ports, consisting of 24 standard
1 Gbps Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) Ethernet
ports and four enhanced 2.5 Gbps SFP ports.
The enhanced SFP ports support standard 1 Gbps
up to 2.5 Gbps data rates. Together the four
enhanced SFP ports can provide up to 20 Gbps of
bi-directional bandwidth between interconnected
NetVanta 1544 switches.
Multi-layer Switching
The NetVanta 1544F supports advanced multi-layer
(Layer 2 and Layer 3) switching. It supports
static routes, RIP V1/V2, OSPF, Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) and Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP), allowing it to easily scale
from small and medium-sized businesses to
enterprise-sized customers.
Standards Protocols
Based on the ADTRAN® Operating System (AOS),
this device offers support for Link Aggregation
(802.3ad); Port Mirroring; port-based switching
features including Broadcast Storm Control,
Spanning Tree (802.1D) and Rapid Spanning Tree
(802.1w) for faster network convergence, link
redundancy, and recovery from topology changes.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) auto-
discovers neighboring Ethernet devices, simplifying
integration into multi-vendor environments.
Virtual LANs (VLANs)
All NetVanta switches support 802.1Q trunking
and up to 255 VLANs to allow network managers
to separate broadcast domains for efficient network
performance and traffic control. NetVanta 1544F also
supports dynamic VLANs assigned via 802.1x. This
is an ideal way to make sure users are automatically
assigned to the correct VLAN, based on the login.
Private VLANs are also available to provide extra
security by isolating upstream traffic from user ports.
VoIP Ready
NetVanta 1544F has been designed specifically
for VoIP. The ability to automatically configure
IP phones using LLDP-MED, and the ability to
separate voice traffic onto voice VLANs, helps
ease the deployment of VoIP.
Quality of Service
NetVanta switches also support QoS to prioritize
mission-critical traffic like VoIP and control network
congestion. NetVanta 1544F offers 802.1p and
DiffServ Class of Service (CoS). It also supports
frame tagging, as well as enforcement of tagged
traffic received from trusted sources. Four egress
queues (per port) are available for assigning traffic
priorities using Weighted Round Robin (WRR) and
Strict Priority Scheduling.
Security
Rest assured, with NetVanta 1544F your network
is protected. This product offers a variety of data
security features including MAC-based port security,
multilevel user passwords, Secure Shell (SSH) and
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for encrypted user login,
and Access Authentication and Authorization (AAA)
for authentication with RADIUS, RSA SecurID and
. With features such as 802.1x and
port security, administrators can assure that only
authorized users are allowed access to the network.
Port Scheduler
NetVanta 1544F allows ports to be scheduled, or
turned on or off based on time of day. This ability to
schedule available ports allows for added security.
Administration
AOS offers both a CLI that mimics the widely
deployed, industry
de facto
standard and an intuitive
Web-based GUI with step-by-step configuration
wizards. For automating setup and configuration,
NetVanta 1544F also supports features like
Auto-Provisioning which allows automatic
configuration scripts to be run from the integrated
CompactFlash slot and Auto-Config which
provides the ability to automatically obtain the
switch configuration via DHCP.
