PicOS® delivers comprehensive networking features across L2/L3, availability, security, and management to elevate network performance and streamline management. For new or custom feature requests, please submit a PicOS® Features Develop Request.
Key Features
EVPN-VXLAN: Construct a virtual Layer 2 network and create virtual tunnels over IP networks, enabling cross-regional and cross-data centre data migration and flexible resource allocation.
Security: Ensure secure network management with support for ACL, RADIUS, TACACS+, and DHCP Snooping.
MLAG: Provide physical switch-level redundancy, avoid single-point failure, and maximise overall utilisation of the total available bandwidth in your Ethernet fabric.
Spanning Tree: Support a suite of Spanning Tree Protocols, vital for preventing network loops and ensuring the efficient delivery of Ethernet frames in a Layer-2 network, including STP, MSTP, RSTP, and PVST.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP): Run over the data link layer which allows two different devices to gather hardware and protocol information about neighboring devices that is useful in troubleshooting the network.
Full-featured 802.1x: Enhance security and enable seamless integration across multi-vendor devices for the enterprise access layer catering to IoT, authorised users, and guests.
Voice VLAN: Improve voice traffic transmission priority and guarantee voice quality by assigning voice traffic to a dedicated VLAN without competing with other traffic.
Zero-Touch Provisioning: With AmpCon-DC/Campus's Push-Button Deployment capability, AmpCon-DC/Campus radically simplifies installation and configuration of large numbers of remote switches running the PicOS® network operating system.
Standard Technology
CrossFlow™ Dual Control Plane Technology: Improve OpenFlow integration, scale and management (Layer-2 / Layer-3 and OpenFlow running simultaneously on switch ports).
Native Security: From OpenSSH to authentication, PicOS® keeps your switches secure.
Software Driven: Our software writes directly to the sil'icon' through a software abstraction layer, giving you a software-driven and hardware-accelerated approach.
