Excellent Traffic Control
The WGSW-5242 is loaded with powerful traffic management and includes numerous QoS and bandwidth limiting features to
ensure that traffic is prioritized properly to deliver the best possible user experience for real-time applications such as voice and
video or bandwidth-intensive graphic/video file uploads or downloads.
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.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the WGSW-5242 Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, telnet, SSH, SSL, Web and
SNMP management interfaces. With its built-in Web-based management interface, the WGSW-5242 offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. The WGSW-5242 supports standard Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based management software. For text-based
management, the WGSW-5242 can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the WGSW-5242 offers secure
remote management by supporting SSL and SSH connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.
Powerful Security
PLANET WGSW-5242 features comprehensive Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. Its protection
mechanisms also comprise port-based 802.1x user and device authentication, which prompts end users to provide their
username and password before they are permitted to pass data. The port-security is effective in limiting the numbers of clients
pass through, so that network administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with time and effort
considerably less than before. The WGSW-5242 enables you to monitor the type of traffic being transmitted on the network by
many-to-one or one-to-one port mirroring function. In addition, the unicast & multicast storm control feature of the WGSW-5242
provides threshold for bandwidth used by unicast & multicast traffic.
Flexibility and Extension solution
The WGSW-5242 is well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions. The four mini-GBIC slots
built in the WGSW-5242 are compatible with 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX/LX and WDM SFP (Small Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic
modules which offers great flexibility for network expansion. 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).
