High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity
The four SFP+ slots built in the SGS-5240 series support dual speed and 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX. With its 4
ports, 10Gbps and 1Gbps Ethernet link capability, the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP/SFP+ transceiver
according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the network efficiently. The IGS-6325
Series provides broad bandwidth and powerful processing capacity.
Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management
The SGS-5240 series supports IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over different VLANs and different IP
addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secure, flexible management and simpler networking application.
Strong Multicast
The SGS-5240 series supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2, it features IPv4 IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and IPv6 MLD
v1/v2 snooping. With Multicast VLAN Register (MVR), multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detection
functions, the SGS-5240 series provides great application experience for customers.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The SGS-5240 series can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, port
aggregation, VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol and bandwidth control. This switch provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q,
voice VLAN and GVRP Protocol functions. By supporting port aggregation, the SGS-5240 series allows the operation of a
high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports.
Powerful Network Security
The SGS-5240 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 802.1x Port-based, MAC-based and web-based
user and device authentications.
Advanced IP Network Protection
The SGS-5240 series 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. The network administrators can now construct
highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Efficient and Secure Management
For efficient management, the SGS-5240 series is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

With the built-in Web-based management interface, the SGS-5240 series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent
management and configuration facility.

For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.

For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at
each session for secure remote management.
