The NetVanta 1000 Series of managed Ethernet switches is designed for cost-effective Local Area Network (LAN) switching. This scalable, full-featured product line is suitable for networks requiring Layer 2 access switches for interconnecting LAN devices or network segmentation. It is ideal for applications requiring Fast Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) standards-based 802.3af switch functionality.The NetVanta 1224 PoE rackmount switch supports 24 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports with auto-rate, auto-duplexing, and MDI/MDI-X sensing. Based on the ADTRAN Operating System (OS), this device offers support for Link Aggregation (802.3ad), Port Mirroring, Portbased 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.All NetVanta switches support 802.1Q trunking and up to 255 port-based VLANs to allow network managers to separate broadcast domains for efficient network performance and traffic control. To help aid configuration in larger networks, Generic VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) is also available.The NetVanta 1224 PoE platform provides standards-based 802.3af PoE functionality for powering IP phones, Wireless Access Points (WAPs), or other devices requiring LAN power. The product supports up to 15.4 watts per port or 370 watts total.Rest assured, with the NetVanta 1224 PoE your network is protected. This product also 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 a RADIUS or RSA SecurID server.NetVanta switches also support QoS to ensure network managers have the ability to prioritize mission critical traffic and control network congestion. The NetVanta 1000 Series offers 802.1p and DiffServ Class of Service (CoS). Each switch 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) or Strict Priority Queuing.The ADTRAN OS offers a Command Line Interface (CLI) that mimics the widely deployed, industry de facto standard and an intuitive web-based GUI with step-by-step configuration wizards. For a centralized enterprise-wide management scheme, ADTRAN offers n-Command, an intuitive, scalable software suite for managing firmware revisions, push firmware upgrades and configuration changes, backup and restore configurations, and manage security policies and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
