Allied Telesis IE510 SERIES LICENSE ENABLING OPENFLOW FOR 1 YEAR - AT-FL-IE5-OF13-1YR

Allied Telesis AT-FL-IE5-OF13-1YR OpenFlow 1-Year License for IE510 Series

Overview

The AT-FL-IE5-OF13-1YR is a one-year term license that unlocks OpenFlow 1.3 functionality on Allied Telesis IE510 series managed switches. Without this license, the OpenFlow control plane is inactive — the switch operates as a conventional Layer 2/3 device. Deploying it converts IE510 hardware into an SDN-capable forwarding element that takes flow instructions from an external OpenFlow controller, enabling centralized traffic policy in environments where dynamic flow management is required across industrial or converged networks.

Compatibility

This license is specific to the Allied Telesis IE510 switch series. It is not transferable to other Allied Telesis product families such as the IE200, IE300, or x530 series. Confirm your exact IE510 model and current firmware version support OpenFlow 1.3 before purchasing — applying a license to an unsupported firmware version will leave the feature inactive until firmware is updated.

Installation Notes

License activation is performed through the Allied Telesis switch CLI or GUI license manager using the key delivered at purchase. The one-year term begins at activation, not at purchase date — plan activation timing accordingly in multi-site or deferred deployment scenarios. After the term expires, OpenFlow functionality deactivates and the switch reverts to standard operation; renew before expiry to avoid a control-plane gap in SDN-managed segments.
