High-Performance / Cost-effective / Telecom class Gigabit solution for Enterprise backbone and Data Center
Networking
The PLANET Managed Switch is a L2/L4 Managed Gigabit Switch. Since Gigabit network interface had become the basic
equipment and requirement of Enterprise and Network Servers, with 48Gbps switching fabric, the Managed Switch can
handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers. The powerful
QoS and Network Security features make it to meets the needs of effective data traffic control for both Campus and Enterprise,
such VoIP, video streaming and multicast application.
High Performance
The Managed Switch provides 24 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with 4 shared Gigabit SFP slots. It boasts a high
performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as
48Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increase bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The Managed Switch can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, Port
aggregation, VLAN, Spanning Tree protocol, QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping. The Managed Switch provides
802.1Q Tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN trunning and private VLAN, the VLAN groups allowed on the Managed Switch will be
maximally up to 255. Via supporting port aggregation, the Managed Switch allows the operation of a high-speed trunk
combining multiple ports, up to eight groups of maximum to 8-ports for trunking, and it supports fail-over as well.
Excellent Traffic Control
The Managed Switch is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features to enhance services offered by telecoms.
The functionality includes QoS features such as wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limiting that are particular
useful for multi-tenant unit, multi business unit, Telco, or Network Service Provide applications. It also empowers the
enterprises to take full advantages of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance at VoIP and Video
conferencing transmission.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the series of Managed Switch is equipped with console, WEB and SNMP management interfaces.
With its built-in Web-based management, it offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration
facility. The Managed Switch supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any
standard-based management software. For text-based management, it can also be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
Powerful Security
The Managed Switch offers comprehensive Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. Its protection
mechanisms also comprise of port-based 802.1x and MAC-based user and device authentication. The port-security is
effective in limit the numbers of clients pass through, so that network administrators can now construct highly secured
corporate networks with time and effort considerably less than before.
