High-Performance, Cost-effective Gigabit solution for backbone of SMB
The PLANET WGSD-10020 series is the Layer 2 Managed Gigabit Switch which can handle extremely large amounts of data
in a secure topology linking to an Enterprise backbone or high capacity network server with 20Gbps switching fabric. The
powerful features of QoS and network security make WGSD-10020 series Switch to offer effective data traffic control for ISPs
and Enterprises, such as VoIP, video streaming and multicast applications. It is ideal for the core layer of campus, enterprise
networks and the aggregation layer of IP metropolitan networks.
High Performance
The WGSD-10020 series provides 8 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports + 2 100/1000X 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 20Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGSD-10020 series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic Port link
aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree protocol, Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control and
IGMP / MLD Snooping. The WGSD-10020 series provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be
maximally up to 255. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the WGSD-10020 series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk
combining multiple ports. It enables maximum up to 5 groups of 10 ports for trunking, and supports fail-over as well.
Excellent Traffic Control
The WGSD-10020 series 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, Telcom, or Network Service Provide 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 WGSD-10020 series Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, WEB and SNMP
management interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the PLANET WGSD-10020 series offers an
easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. The WGSD-10020 series supports standard
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based management software. For
text-based management, the WGSD-10020 series can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the
SGSW-24040HP offers secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMPv3 connection which encrypt the
packet content at each session.
Powerful Security
PLANET WGSD-10020 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. The WGSD-10020 series net Security also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and
Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address.
