RLXE4GE24MODMS
HARDENED LAYER 3 MANAGED 10 GIGABIT
MODULAR ETHERNET SWITCH
The ComNet RLXE4GE24MODMS is a Layer-3 modular managed redundant ring
configurable Ethernet switch. It has four slots that can accommodate individual
modules that feature different combinations of SFP and electrical TX ports. One of
the slots can accommodate a 10 gigabit module with either 2 or 4 10 Gbps or 1 Gbps
SFP ports. The switch is designed for security, ITS, power substation and rolling stock
applications, and is fully compliant with the requirement of IEC 61850-3 and IEEE
1613 as well as NEMA TS1/TS2. The RLXE4GE24MODMS switch supports multiple
Ethernet Redundancy protocols, including C-Ring (recovery time < 30ms over 250
units of connection) and MSTP (RSTP/STP compatible). This switch can protect critical
applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast
recovery technology. This environmentally hardened switch is designed for direct
deployment in difficult out-of-plant or roadside operating environments.

    Ethernet Ring Protection Switching Example Configuration Introduction This section shows how to configure the Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) for ComNet switches using the Web GUI and the CLI commands. The following figure shows a simple three switch network constructed to demonstrate these features.
  • Page 191: Configuring Erps From The Web Gui

    INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL RLXE4GE24MODMS Configuring ERPS from the Web GUI Initial Switch Configuration Use the following steps to configure the ERPS features through the Web. 1. Set the proper static IP for each switch. In this example, switch 1 is 192.168.10.1, switch 2 is 192.168.10.2 and switch 3 is 192.168.10.3.
  • Page 192 The Unicast Peer MAC can remain empty because it will be learned by receiving the CCM from the peer side. On ComNet switches, before they are learned, the CCM frame rate cannot be changed to above 100/sec. If known, enter the peer MAC address manually.
