PLANET WGSW-52040 - Manual (Page 18)

High Performance
The WGSW-52040 provides 48 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with 4 Gigabit SFP slots. It boasts a
high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed
throughput as high as 104Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to
increasing bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGSW-52040 can be programmed for basic Switch management functions such as Port speed
configuration, Port aggregation, VLAN, Spanning Tree protocol, WRR, bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping.
The WGSW-52040 provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q, voice VLAN and GVRP protocol. The VLAN
groups allowed to be on the WGSW-52040 will be maximally up to 256. By supporting port aggregation, the
WGSW-52040 allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports. It enables up to 32
groups of maximum 8 ports for trunking.
Excellent Traffic Control
PLANET WGSW-52040 is loaded with powerful traffic management and WRR features to enhance services
offered by telecoms. The functionality includes WRR features such as wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers
and bandwidth limiting that are particularly 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-52040 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-52040 also provides
IEEE 802.1x port based access authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS, to ensure the port level
security and block illegal users.
Efficient Management
The WGSW-52040 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-52040 Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, WEB and
SNMP management interfaces. With its built-in Web-based management interface, PLANET WGSW-52040
offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. The WGSW-52040
supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any
standard-based management software. For text-based management, WGSW-520400 can be accessed via
Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the WGSW-52040 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-52040 are compatible with 100/1000Base-X and WDM SFP
(Small Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules. 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). It is well suited for applications
within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
