Allied Telesis AT-X930-28GSTX Layer 3 Switch
The Allied Telesis AT-X930-28GSTX Layer 3 Switch is a powerhouse in the x930 family designed to deliver resilience, reliability, and high performance for modern enterprise networks. As a stackable Gigabit Layer 3 switch, it excels in distribution and network core roles, providing robust inter-VLAN routing, scalable uplinks, and enterprise-grade security. Ideal for fast-growing campuses, data centers, and branch deployments, the AT-X930-28GSTX combines advanced routing, QoS, and centralized management in a compact, energy-efficient chassis. With its rich feature set and flexible topology, this switch helps you simplify network design, reduce latency, and future-proof your infrastructure while maintaining the simplicity required for day-to-day operations.
- High-performance Layer 3 routing for scalable traffic management - Engineered to deliver fast, deterministic routing, this switch enables efficient inter-VLAN communication, dynamic routing protocols, and robust policy-based routing. It supports IPv4 and IPv6, static routing, and dynamic protocols that adapt to changing network conditions, helping to optimize data paths, reduce congestion, and improve application performance across campus and data center environments.
- Dense port configuration with flexible uplinks - The AT-X930-28GSTX features 28 x 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports plus 4 SFP uplink ports, offering both desktop connectivity and fiber uplift for aggregation to core devices. The combination supports link aggregation (LACP) for increased bandwidth and redundancy, while VLAN tagging (802.1Q) and private VLAN options strengthen network segmentation and security for servers, IP phones, wireless controllers, and storage systems.
- Resilient, scalable design for mission-critical networks - Stackable with other x930 switches, the AT-X930-28GSTX enables a single management domain and seamless growth as your network expands. Redundant power options, hot-swappable components, and reliable failover mechanisms minimize downtime during maintenance or power events. This architecture makes it an excellent choice for distribution layers, core aggregation, and data center access where uptime matters.
- Security, QoS, and intelligent traffic management - Built to protect and prioritize critical traffic, the switch provides ACLs, 802.1X port security, DHCP snooping, IP source guard, and storm control. QoS policies prioritize voice and latency-sensitive applications, ensuring smooth video conferences and real-time communications. Advanced traffic shaping, queue management, and policy-based routing help you deliver predictable performance for every service in your network.
- Comprehensive management for easier operations - Manage the AT-X930-28GSTX with CLI, Web GUI, and SNMP for flexible administration and centralized monitoring. Whether you prefer command-line control or a graphical interface, you can configure routing, VLANs, QoS, security rules, and monitoring policies efficiently. The device is designed to integrate with existing network management systems and supports standard protocols for streamlined administration and rapid troubleshooting.

how to install Allied Telesis AT-X930-28GSTX
To ensure a smooth installation, follow these practical steps designed for enterprise environments:
- Prepare your rack space with the appropriate 19-inch mounting hardware included in the kit. Install the AT-X930-28GSTX securely, ensuring adequate ventilation and clearance for airflow.
- Connect a stable power source to the switch and verify power supply stability. If your deployment uses redundant power, install the second supply and test failover behavior.
- Attach network cables to the 28 copper ports for device connectivity and connect the 4 SFP uplinks to your core or distribution switches as required by your topology.
- Power on the switch and access the management interface via the console port or the default IP address provided in the user guide. If a default IP is not predefined, use the console to configure an initial setup.
- Perform initial configuration: define a secure admin password, assign a management IP address, set up VLANs, enable routing features, and configure basic security (ACLs, 802.1X). Save the configuration and monitor for any anomalies during the first hours of operation.
