Allied Telesis 1 YEAR OPENFLOW V1.3 LICENSE FOR AT-X230 SERIES SWITCHES - AT-FL-X230-OF13-1YR

Allied Telesis AT-FL-X230-OF13-1YR OpenFlow 1.3 Software License

Overview

The AT-FL-X230-OF13-1YR is a one-year software license that unlocks OpenFlow v1.3 functionality on Allied Telesis AT-X230 series switches. OpenFlow v1.3 enables a centralized SDN controller to program the switch's forwarding table directly — removing static VLAN-per-device configuration and replacing it with controller-driven flow rules. This matters in deployments where network segmentation policy needs to change frequently, such as dynamic access control environments, research networks, or converged IT/OT architectures where a single controller manages both user access and device reachability.

Compatibility

This license applies exclusively to the Allied Telesis AT-X230 series — a line of managed network switches positioned for enterprise edge and SMB core deployments. Compatible models include the AT-X230-10GP, AT-X230-18GP, AT-X230-28GP, and AT-X230-52GP. The license is not transferable to other Allied Telesis switch families such as the AT-X510 or AT-X930 series. If you are deploying OpenFlow across a mixed-switch environment, verify that your SDN controller supports the AT-X230's specific OpenFlow 1.3 implementation before committing to a software license purchase. OpenFlow 1.3 adds features absent in v1.0, including multiple flow tables and IPv6 match support — both relevant to multi-tier policy enforcement in network security architectures. The license term is 12 months from activation; plan renewal before expiration to avoid disruption to controller-managed flows in production.
