Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGSW-50040 can be programmed for basic Switch management functions such as Port speed
configuration, Port aggregation, VLAN, Spanning Tree protocol, QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping.
The WGSW-50040 provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q, voice VLAN and GVRP protocol. The VLAN
groups allowed on the WGSW-50040 will be maximally up to 256. By supporting port aggregation, the
WGSW-50040 allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It enables up to 8 groups
of maximum 8-ports for trunking.
Excellent Traffic Control
PLANET WGSW-50040 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 at VoIP and Video conferencing transmission.
Powerful Security
The WGSW-50040 supports ACL policies comprehensively. The traffic can be classified by source/destination
IP addresses, source/destination MAC addresses, IP protocols, TCP/UDP, IP precedence, time ranges and
ToS. Moreover, various policies can be conducted to forward the traffic. The WGSW-50040 also provides
IEEE802.1x port based access authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS, to ensure the port level
security and block illegal users.
Efficient Management
The WGSW-50040 supports IP Stacking function that helps network managers to easily configure up to 24
switches in the same series via one single IP address instead of connecting and setting each unit one by one.
For efficient management, the WGSW-50040 Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, WEB and
SNMP management interfaces. With its built-in Web-based management interface, the PLANET
WGSW-50040 offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. The
WGSW-50040 supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via
any standard-based management software. For text-based management, WGSW-50040 can be accessed via
Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the WGSW-50040 offers secure remote management by supporting
SSH connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.
Flexibility and Extension solution
The four mini-GBIC slots built in the WGSW-50040 are compatible with 1000Base-SX/LX and WDM SFP
(Small Form Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules. The distance can be extended from 550 meters
(Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber). It is well
suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
