Secure Enterprise Software Defined Networking Controller
The AT-TQ4600-OF13 wireless access point is a bundled product of the
AT-TQ4600 wireless access point and OpenFlow protocol. It is designed
to be used with the Secure Enterprise Software Defined Networking (SES)
controller. The latter is a management program for Allied Telesis switches
and access points. It lets you managethe virtual LAN (VLAN) assignments
of hosts, and define where and when hosts can access networks. It can
also be used with selected firewalls to automatically implement protective
measures, such as blocking or isolating switch ports, when viruses,
malware. or other threats are detected.
The SES controller is part of the Software-defined Networking (SDN)
solution from Allied Telesis. SDN is a network architecture for controlling
network traffic from a central controller instead of managing switches and
wireless access points individually. It simplifies network management by
removing management tasks and decisions from individual devices, and
centralizing them in the controller. This makes it possible for application
solutions like the controller to implement network configuration changes
from the vantage point of the entire network, rather than from individual
devices. Additionally, SDN make it possible to automate network
configuration changes that previously had to be handled manually.
Configuration and management instructions from the controller to the
switches are transmitted over a network path referred to as the control
plane. The control plane for the AT-TQ4600-OF13 wireless access point is
based on the OpenFlow protocol, which comes pre-installed and activated
on the unit. No subscription license is required.
