Clients. The situation forces the ISP to build up the IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) network infrastructure speedily. To fulfill
the demand, PLANET releases the IPv6 management Gigabit Ethernet Switch, the XGSW-28040 which supports both IPv4
and IPv6 management functions. It can work with original network structure (IPv4) and also support the new network structure
(IPv6) in the future. With easy and friendly management interfaces and plenty of management functions included, the
XGSW-28040 is the best choice for ISP to build the IPv6 FTTx edge service and for SMB to connect with the IPv6 network.
High Performance
The XGSW-28040 provides 24 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with 4 shared 100/1000X SFP slots + 4 10G/1G SFP+
slot. It boasts high performance architecture of switch that is capable for providing the non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed
throughput as high as 128Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth
demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The XGSW-28040 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 Snooping.
The XGSW-28040 provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to 255. Via aggregation
of supporting ports, the XGSW-28040 allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It enables maximum
up to 14 groups of 16 ports for trunking, and supports fail-over as well.
Excellent Traffic Control
The XGSW-28040 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, Telco, 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 XGSW-28040 Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, WEB and SNMP
management interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the PLANET XGSW-28040 offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. The XGSW-28040 supports standard Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based management software. For text-based
management, the XGSW-28040 can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the XGSW-28040 offers secure
remote management by supporting SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.
Powerful Security
PLANET XGSW-28040 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.
Flexibility and Extension Solution
The four mini-GBIC SFP slots built in the XGSW-28040 support Dual-Speed, 100Base-FX and 1000Base-SX/LX SFP (Small
Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules, that means, the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver
according to not only the transmission distance but also the transmission speed required. The distance can be extended from
550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for
