NetVanta 1524ST
Managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Switch
®
The NetVanta 1524ST is the first in a series of
Gigabit Ethernet switches from ADTRAN
Offered at a price point less than half the cost
of other 24-port Layer 2 Gigabit switches, this
product is setting a new standard for affordable
higher bandwidth and Gigabit to the desktop
deployments. Ideal for new installations or
network upgrades, these switches can provide
higher bandwidth for corporate and branch
office LANs to support today's most bandwidth
intensive applications.
Hardware
The NetVanta 1524ST rackmount switch
provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, consisting
of 20 fixed 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports
and four combo 10/10/100Base-T or Small
Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports. The
100/100/1000Base-T ports provide auto-
rate, auto-duplexing, and auto-MDI/MDI-X
sensing. The SFP slots are available to accom-
modate optical interfaces using industry-
standard SFP modules. The 1524ST can
support up to 16 units stacked together and
easily managed with a single IP address for
the entire stack.
Standard-based Protocols
Based on the ADTRAN Operating System (AOS),
these devices offer support for Link Aggrega-
tion (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.
VLANs
All NetVanta switches support 802.1Q trunk-
ing 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.
Security
®
. Rest assured, with the NetVanta 1524ST your
network is protected. These products 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.
Quality of Service (QoS)
NetVanta switches also support QoS to
ensure network managers have the ability
to prioritize mission critical traffic and control
network congestion. The NetVanta 1524ST
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. Two egress
queues (per port) are available for assigning
traffic priorities using Weighted Round Robin
(WRR) or Strict Priority Queuing.
Administration
The AOS offers both 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
scalable software suite for managing firm-
ware revisions, push firmware upgrades
and configuration changes, backup and
restore configurations, and manage security
policies and Access Control Lists (ACLs).
NetVanta 1000 Series of Ethernet switches
are easily coupled with other ADTRAN inter-
networking products including NetVanta 1000
Series switch-routers, NetVanta 3000/4000/
5000 Series Access Routers, and NetVanta 2000
Series VPN/Firewall appliances. All these
solutions are backed by ADTRAN's industry-
leading support, services, and North
American five-year warranty.
