AlliedWare Plus Layer 3 Fully  
AlliedWare Plus Advanced Features  
The AlliedWare Plus operating system supports  
hot-swappable XEM modules, dramatically reducing  
system downtime.You can remove and add XEM  
modules, or swap a XEM for another of the same  
sort - all without having to reboot or reconfigure  
your network.  
Featured Operating System  
Industry Standard Command Line Interface  
Virtual Chassis Stacking  
AlliedWare Plus™ is AlliedTelesis' next generation  
operating system. In keeping with the increasing  
complexity of AlliedTelesis' ever-improving and  
feature-rich software, AlliedWare Plus employs a  
new modular approach to software creation and  
distribution. It represents a quantum shift in the  
software development methodology for Allied  
Telesis switches and routers - providing you with  
even more features and greater robustness from  
the operating system.  
Highly Modular Software Featuring  
Independent Process Monitoring  
Superior Quality of Service - QoS  
Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Protection  
802.1x DynamicVLANs  
Modularity + Monitoring = Robust  
Flexibility  
AlliedWare Plus has a modular architecture,  
providing superior reliability. It uses separate  
software processes, or modules, to handle  
different functions - for example management,  
routing protocols, and control functions. Each of  
these modules can only access its own allocated  
memory, which prevents processes from  
corrupting each other and causing system crashes.  
Although independent of each other, modules  
communicate via well-defined interfaces.  
Control Plane Prioritization - CPP  
Other Feature Highlights  
The AlliedWare Plus operating system combines  
superior networking functionality and strong  
management capabilities with the exceptional  
performance that today's networks demand.  
A standards-based implementation, it also assures  
full interoperability with other major network  
equipment, along with improved usability and  
therefore a superior customer experience.  
Access Control Lists - ACLs  
Spanning Tree  
Ethernet Protected Switching Rings - EPSR  
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol -VRRP  
Link Aggregation Control Protocol - LACP  
Trigger Facility  
To achieve even greater reliability, independent  
monitoring software has been utilized alongside  
the modular architecture.This provides passive  
monitoring and periodic health checks for all  
important processes, and sends messages to  
inform system administrators of issues and  
resolutions.  
Logging Facility  
High-Performance and  
High-Availability  
Virtual Chassis Stacking  
Virtual Chassis Stacking makes networking simple.  
It allows you to connect between 2 and 8  
switches together via high-bandwidth 15Gbps  
stacking links.This aggregates the switches, which  
then appear as a single switch, or 'Virtual Chassis'.  
TheVirtual Chassis can be configured and  
managed via a single serial console or IP address,  
which provides greater ease of management in  
comparison to an arrangement of individually  
managed switches, and often eliminates the need  
to configure protocols likeVRRP and SpanningTree.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - SMTP  
Trivial File Transfer Protocol - TFTP Client

Industry Standard Command Line  
Interface (CLI)  
Simple Network Management Protocol -  
SNMP  
The AlliedWare Plus operating system incorporates  
an industry standard CLI, facilitating intuitive  
manageability. Each command is associated with a  
specific function, or a common function performing a  
specific task.You can automate some of your  
configuration tasks, as many of these commands may  
also be used in scripts.Triggers can also be utilized,  
providing a powerful mechanism for automatic and  
timed management by automating the execution of  
commands in response to specific events.  
Internet Group Management Protocol - IGMP  
IPv4 and IPv6 Static Routing  
Routing Information Protocol - RIP  
Open Shortest Path First - OSPF  
Virtual Chassis Stacking provides a high availability  
system where network resources can be spread  
out across a number of stacked switches, thus  
reducing the impact should any one of the stacked  
switches fail. Ports on different switches across the  
stack can be aggregated to provide excellent link  
redundancy.

AlliedWare Plus software release 5.2.1 supports stacking  
of 2 units. Support for more than 2 units will be available  
in a future release.

Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Protection  
BPDU Protection adds extra security to the  
SpanningTree Protocol (STP). It protects the  
spanning tree configuration by preventing  
VLAN DoubleTagging  
VLAN double tagging allows network service  
providers to use a singleVLAN to support  
customers with multipleVLANs. In this way, they  
can simply and cost-effectively offer IP-based  
solutions in scalable implementations.  
malicious DoS attacks caused by spoofed BPDUs.  
BPDU Protection is designed to be enabled on  
ports that should not receive BPDUs.These are  
edge ports connected to end user devices that do  
not run spanning tree. If a spoofed BPDU packet  
is received on a protected port, the BPDU  
Protection feature disables the port and alerts the  
network manager.  
Service providers often have customers whose  
VLAN range requirements overlap, and the traffic  
from different customers is mixed in with the  
service providers' infrastructure.WithVLAN  
double tagging, each customer is given a  
customer-ID (CID), which is a unique identifier  
within the service provider infrastructure.Traffic  
from individual customers is tagged with the CID  
and segregated from other customer's traffic.The  
VLANs identification of the customer's network  
can be preserved while the traffic is tunnelled  
through the network service provider's  
infrastructure.
