1.2 Product Description

Overview
Extremely Flexible, Scalable and Resilient Chassi s-Ba sed Switch
The PLANET XGS3-42000R Core-Layer Routing Switch is specially designed for large network applications such as
Enterprise, Campus, Community, ISP or Data Center network where flexible configuration, large capacity, high-density,
high-reliability and advanced traffic management are required.
The XGS3-42000R is a High-Density Chassis-based Routing Switch built with 4 module slots and redundant power supply.
It pro vides great porting flexibility for network deployment by offering various and combinable management modules and
standard interfaces. With 10-Gigabit Ethernet technology applied, the XGS3-42000R provides broad bandwidth and
powerful processing capacity. The Chassis Switch supports wire-speed L2/L3 forwarding and high routing performance
for IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. The scalable and flexible modular architecture supports up to 376Gps forwarding
performance in a single system - within the 6U height, single chassis, the maximum configuration can be:

188-Port 10/100/1000Ba se-T Copper

156-Port 1000Ba se-SX/LX SFP Fiber Slots
 13-Port 10G XFP Fiber Slots
IPv6 Routing and 10G Ethernet Switch Solutions for the Next Generation Internet Protocol
IP v6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is well known as the next generation Internet Protocol to solve the lack of
available IP v4 addresses. IP v6 can provide larger address space than IP v4 for the rapid growing networks.
To provide smooth migration path from IP v4 to IP v6 for the future network upgrades, PLANE T releases the
multi-layer IP v6/ IP v4 Gigabit Ethernet Routing S witch, XGS3-42000R, to satisfy the bandwidth requirements
and protect net work investment for enterprises. The XGS 3-42000R is implemented with the following
advanced technologies:
 IPv6 / IPv4 Routing and Management

10G Ethernet Switching

Single IP Address Management

Redundant Power System
Positioned as the distribution or aggregation layer switch of large networks, the XGS3-42000R supports IP
Stacking technology that helps to manage and configure up to 36 units via one single IP address easily. It
serves for campus networks and metropolitan IP networks by offering int elligent security feat ures, high
performance and flexibility. The XGS3-42000R can also be an excellent choice as a core layer switch for
enterprises, data centers or small & medium-sized networks.
Supports 10Gb Ethernet
10Gb Ethernet which adopts full-duplex technology instead of low-speed, half-duplex CSMA/CD protocol, is a
big leap in the evolution of Ethernet. 10Gb Ethernet can be deployed in star or ring topologies. With 10Gb
Ethernet technology applied, the XGS 3-42000R provides broad bandwidth and powerful processing capacity.
It is suitable for metropolitan networks and wide area networks. Using the XGS 3-42000R, users can simplify
network structures and reduce cost of network construction.
