Developed on the basis of ABROS software platform ABTPL with its own independent intellectual property rights, AS300/54/C provides high-performance L2/L3/L4 wire speed switching capacity by integrating services such as IPv6, network security, flow analysis, virtualization, with high reliable techniques including continuous forwarding, graceful restarting and loop network protection, all which works efficiency within the AS300/54/C fabric for guaranteed maximum runtime.
AS300/54/C supports the “GreenTouch” architecture and “Smart@CHIP”. Its power consumption is lower than 200W.
Carrier-Level Aggregation Layer-3 Ethernet Switch Innovative AVSS (ABTPL Virtual Switch System):
Virtualize multiple physical devices into one. The performance, reliability and management capabilities of the virtual system combine to outperform that of individual physical devices.
AVSS makes full use of each link in the physical device cluster, which avoids STP blocking on links and protects the original link to the maximum.
Based on the advanced distribution mechanism and efficient cross-physical link aggregation link functions, the logical control plane, service control plane and service data plane are separated. Thus, the device can support continuous Layer-3 routing forwarding, avoiding service interruption as a result of a single point of failure.
AVSS realizes single IP management, greatly improving the networking efficiency and lowering operating costs.
Product Characteristics
Rich Data center Services
AVSS (ABTPL Virtual Switch System). AS300/54/C supports AVSS, which can virtualize multiple physical devices into a single logical element. The virtualized system is superior to the independent physical device in performance, reliability, flexibility and management.
The virtualized system makes the best use of each link in the device and avoids blocking of STP to the links.
Based on the advanced distributed processing technique and the efficient function of cross-physical device link aggregation, the AS300/54/C provides non-stop layer-3 routing forwarding and avoids single points of failure.
The virtual cluster function of the AS300/54/C allows the distance of a cluster system to expand over up to 80 km, breaking the geographic restrictions of traditional cluster techniques.
The whole virtual system realizes single IP unified management and simplifies the management of network device and network topology.

Data centre Level High-reliability
- AS300/54/C adopts HPS (Hitless Protection System). The key components of AS300/54/C such as the power system and the fan system supports redundancy in design. All system modules support hot-swap and seamless switching without need of manual intervention.
- AS300/54/C supports redundancy protection mechanisms such as STP/RSTP/MSTP protocol, VRRP protocol, ring network protection, dual uplink active/standby link protection and LACP link aggregation.
- AS300/54/C supports ISSU (In-Service Software Upgrade), guaranteeing non-stop forwarding of service data while the system is upgrading.
- AS300/54/C supports BFD and realizes fault detection and service recovery in seconds through linking with layer-2 or layer-3 protocol.
- AS300/54/C has perfect Ethernet OAM, 802.3ah, 802.1ag and ITU-Y.1731 which can monitor the network operating state in real time and rapidly detect and locate the malfunction.
- High Reliability (99.999%): The MTTR of the AS300/54/C is 50ms, satisfying the requirement for reliable delivery of carrier-level service.
