Magnum 6K32F/FR/FC/FRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (07/10)
The Magnum 6K32F Series Managed Switch equipped with copper and
optional Gigabit fiber ports on modular slots provide an economical and seamless
solution to the requirements. The user-configurable Magnum 6K32F Series provides an
extra boost to the network requirements by providing copper/fiber media along with the
higher bandwidth support of 10/100 and 1000Mb. The user can utilize the SNMP feature
equipped with VLAN, Port security, 802.1X, and other security features to provide a
secure and stable network as per the requirement
The 6K32F Series Managed Switch with NEBS Level 3 compliance and
management flexibility allows the user more than one configuration alternative. The user
has an advantage by fulfilling the present requirements as well as benefiting from the
multiple choices of modules to support future expansion as the network evolves. The
dual Gigabit port option in the modular slot boosts the bandwidth for high speed to
support the peak traffic and minimize congestion.
Example 3: Redundant Application
In a redundant application for high network availability where a rack-
mountable managed switch with over 24 ports is required with dense port features,
Magnum 6K32F's equipped with redundant LAN features like S-Ring, RSTP, Link-Loss-
Learn and various security features are easily qualified for the application. The -48VDC
input power option with Dual Source is especially useful in telecom central offices.
The Magnum 6K32F Series with two Gigabit ports in a modular slot allows it
to connect into a Gigabit mesh structure with an RSTP and S-Ring combination used in a
no-single-point-of-failure self-healing LAN topology along with a ring of multiple 6K25s
at the edge to allow the system to efficiently recover from a fault in the network. The
industry standard Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol 802.1d is used in the top eight switches
(see diagram below) to perform GB mesh fault recovery, whereas the bottom ring setup
has been configured with S-Ring and Link-Loss-Learn for faster recovery in a big ring.
A redundant LAN setup not only provides a reliable recovery solution from
network faults, but also improves operating up-time to simplify maintenance, save
money and recover valuable time. In a critical application where secure data has been
stored in a data mining storage facility, a redundant network provides a more secure
solution.
The figure below has Magnum 6K32F's and 6K25's connected over the gigabit mesh
structure for a high bandwidth secure redundant LAN setup.
