High Performance
The WGSW-28040 series provides 28 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports in which with 4 shared Gigabit SFP slots. It
boasts high performance architecture of switch that is capable for providing the non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed
throughput as high as 56Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth
demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGSW-28040 series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic Port link
aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol, Layer 2 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP
Snooping. The WGSW-28040 series provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to
255. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the WGSW-28040 series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining
multiple ports. It enables maximum up to 8 groups of 8 ports for trunking and supports fail-over as well.
Excellent Traffic Control
The WGSW-28040 series is loaded with Port speed configuration, Port aggregation, VLAN, Spanning Tree protocol, QoS,
bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping features to enhance services to business-class data, voice, security, and wireless
solutions. The functionality includes QoS features, and bandwidth limiting that are particular useful for multi-tenant unit and
multi-business unit applications. It also empowers the enterprises to take full advantages of the limited network resources and
guarantees the best performance in VoIP and Video conferencing transmission.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the WGSW-28040 series Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, WEB and SNMP
management interfaces. With the built-in Web-Based management interface, the WGSW-28040 series offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. The WGSW-28040 supports standard Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard management software. For text-based management,
the WGSW-28040 series can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
Powerful Security
PLANET WGSW-28040 series offers comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to
the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address,
TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises of 802.1X port-based and
MAC-based user and device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be
prevented to ensure user privacy. The network administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with
considerably less time and effort than before.
Power over Ethernet, Easy Cabling Installation
The PoE in-line power following the standard IEEE 802.3af makes the WGSW-28040P able to power on 24 PoE compliant
devices at the distance up to 100 meters through the 4-pair Cat 5/5e UTP wire. With data and power over Ethernet from one
unit, it can easily build a power central-controlled IP phone system, IP Camera system, or wireless AP group for the
enterprises. The WGSW-28040P shall reduce cables deployment and eliminates the need for dedicated electrical outlets on
