Product Overview

The Allied Telesis x530L premium license (AT-FL-X530L-01) unlocks advanced Layer 3 routing and network features on Allied Telesis x530L Series stackable intelligent switches, transforming them from standard Layer 2/3 switches into full-featured enterprise routing platforms. Designed for network engineers and IT managers who need dynamic routing protocols, multicast, and advanced VLAN capabilities at the access and distribution layer, the AT-FL-X530L-01 is a perpetual per-device license that activates a comprehensive set of capabilities without requiring hardware upgrades. For organizations deploying x530L switches as network core or distribution nodes, this Allied Telesis x530L premium license delivers the routing feature depth required for enterprise campus, government, and data center edge environments.

Product Description

The AT-FL-X530L-01 Premium License activates a broad set of advanced Layer 3 and network capabilities on any x530L Series switch. Key features unlocked include OSPFv2 (256 routes) and BGP4 (256 routes) for dynamic routing in multi-path and multi-vendor network environments, along with IPv4 multicast routing via PIMv4-SM, PIM-DM, and PIM-SSM for efficient video and real-time data distribution. IPv6 routing is extended with RIPng (256 routes), OSPFv3 (256 routes), PIM-SMv6/SSMv6, and MLDv1/v2 multicast listener discovery, providing a complete dual-stack routing feature set. The license also enables VLAN double tagging (Q-in-Q) for service provider and multi-tenant network segmentation, VLAN translation for inter-domain VLAN mapping, RADIUS-Full for comprehensive authentication and authorization, UDLD for unidirectional link detection, and PTP Transparent Mode for precision time protocol deployments. One license is required per x530L switch in a VCStack™ stack, providing consistent feature parity across all stack members. The x530L Series is FIPS 140-2 certified, TAA compliant, JITC-certified for US Department of Defense networks, and IPv6 Ready—making it a proven choice for US Government, defense, and regulated enterprise environments. With the AT-FL-X530L-01 license applied, the x530L becomes a full-featured Layer 3 switch capable of serving as a resilient, high-capacity network core or distribution switch. The license is perpetual (no subscription expiration), delivered electronically, and applies immediately upon activation. Available from Creation Networks, your authorized Allied Telesis reseller.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which x530L models does the AT-FL-X530L-01 license support?

The license applies to all models in the x530L Series: x530L-10GHXm, x530L-18GHXm, x530L-28GTX, x530L-28GPX, x530L-52GTX, and x530L-52GPX.

Q: Is this a perpetual license or a subscription?

The AT-FL-X530L-01 is a perpetual license with no expiration date. Once applied to the switch, the premium features remain active for the lifetime of the device.

Q: How many licenses do I need for a VCStack?

One license is required per switch in the stack. For example, a 4-unit VCStack™ requires 4 AT-FL-X530L-01 licenses—one per stack member.

Q: What routing protocols does the x530L standard software support without this license?

Without the Premium License, the x530L supports 1,000 IPv4 static routes, 256 RIP routes, and 64 OSPF routes, with limited IPv6 static routing and no RIPng or OSPFv3. The AT-FL-X530L-01 adds full OSPF, BGP4, and multicast capabilities.

Q: Is the x530L Series suitable for US Government and DoD networks?

Yes. The x530L Series is FIPS 140-2 validated, JITC-certified for inclusion on the DoDIN Approved Products List (APL), TAA compliant, and IPv6 Ready—making it a verified choice for US Federal, DoD, and regulated enterprise network deployments.

Q: How is the license activated?

The license is delivered electronically. Apply it to the target x530L switch using the AlliedWare Plus CLI license activation command or through the Allied Telesis Support Portal. Contact Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net for purchasing and activation assistance.

Q: Does this license include OpenFlow support?

No. OpenFlow v1.3 for the x530L requires a separate AT-FL-x530L-OF13-1YR or AT-FL-x530L-OF13-5YR license. The Premium License (AT-FL-X530L-01) focuses on advanced Layer 3 routing, multicast, VLAN, and security features.
