User's Manual of VC-820M
The VC-820M offers an excellent bandwidth to meet the requirements of the triple play devices for home entertainment
and communications.
QoS Features to Ensure Best Performance
The VDSL2 Switch contains robust QoS features such as port-based, 802.1p priority and IP ToS/DSCP to ensure the best
performance of its VoIP and video stream transmission, thus empowering the enterprises to take full advantage of the
limited network resources.
Selectable VDSL2 Data Rate for Service Differentiation
Through the management interface, the administrator can control the data transmission speed of each VDSL2 interface.
Telecoms and ISPs can immediately and remotely upgrade/downgrade bandwidth service upon different demands.
Efficient Management
To further expand the current network, PLANET VC-820M provides console and Telnet command line interfaces, and
advanced Web and SNMP management interfaces. With its built-in Web-based management interface, the VDSL2 switch
offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. The VDSL2 switch supports standard
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be monitored via any standard-based management software. For
text-based management, the VDSL2 switch can also be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the VDSL2
switch offers secure, remote management by supporting Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection, which encrypts the packet
content at each session. The features above provide an efficient way to manage the devices from the internet environment
with no need to add extra secure system either by means of hardware or software.
Robust Layer 2 Features
For efficient management, via Web interface, the VC-820M can be programmed for basic switch management functions,
such as port speed configuration, port link aggregation, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, port mirroring, Rapid
Spanning Tree, and ACL security. Additionally, the firmware includes advanced features such as IGMP snooping, QoS
(Quality of Service), broadcast storm and bandwidth control to enhance bandwidth utilization.
Advanced Security
The VDSL2 switch offers comprehensive Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) to filter out unwanted
traffic. Its protection mechanisms comprise RADIUS and port-based 802.1X user and device authentication. Moreover, the
VDSL2 switch provides MAC filter, static MAC, IP/MAC binding and Port Security for enforcing security policies to the edge.
The administrators can now construct highly-secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
