Overview
The AES6101 is a high-performance Layer 3 data center switch featuring 48×25Gb SFP28 ports and 6×100Gb QSFP28 uplinks, offering full backward compatibility with 10Gb and 40Gb interfaces. Designed for top-of-rack and aggregation deployments in high-density data center environments, the switch delivers exceptional bandwidth, flexibility, and port scalability. It is equipped with 1+1 redundant power supplies and 4+1 hot-swappable fans, ensuring continuous operation and efficient front-to-back airflow for optimal heat dissipation. With support for VXLAN, EVPN, and MLAG, the AD-S500-48VF6H enables agile network virtualization and scalable multi-tenant architectures across modern Layer 2/Layer 3 infrastructures.
The switch supports a full suite of Layer 2/3 routing protocols—including OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, and MPLS—along with hardware-based traffic visualization through sFlow and RSPAN. It is built with IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack support, BFD fast failure detection, and redundancy protocols such as ERPS and VRRP to enhance network reliability and resilience. Security features include role-based access control, CPU protection, ACLs, ARP inspection, and encrypted management via SSH and SSL. Combined with flexible management interfaces like CLI, Web UI, SNMP, and USB, the AD-S500-48VF6H offers scalable, secure, and efficient network control for modern data centers.
