2.3 Features and Benefits
Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs
Magnum 6K32 Switches provide non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed at once)
performance with standard Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) included. They
are typically used in LAN traffic centers with 24 10/100Mb ports or one or 2 Gigabit
ports for backbone connections, where managed network services are desired.
Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization
The Magnum 6K32 switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing
priority to priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For port-
and application-specific priorities, the QoS software may be configured by the user.
Features Fiber-Built-In
Magnum 6K32 Managed Switches are designed at modular slot to naturally include
fiber ports, and support mixes of multi-mode and single-mode; 10 Mb, 100Mb and
1000Mb speed; full-and half-duplex; classic Small Form Factor (SFF) and GBIC fiber
connectors. RJ-45 10/100 ports can also be configured in the mix of port types.
Modular design for port flexibility, in a 1U space-saving rack-mount package
The 1U Magnum 6K32 chassis has 1 slot for port configurations. A family of 2, 4, 6 or
8 port modules allows the user to select the desired mix of port types and speeds.
There are over 20 different modules in the family to choose from. The port modules
are normally factory installed and tested, but may be changed in the field.
Rack-mounting may be standard or “reverse”, 19 inch or ETSI or 23” Telco
The standard rack mounting provides Ethernet ports and status LEDs in front, service
connections (power input and management console) in the rear. “Reverse” rack
mounting provides status LEDs in front and all cabling connections in the rear.
Standard 19’ rack mount brackets are included, with ETSI and 23” Telco optional.
Standard AC power input, -48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC input is optional
Standard AC power input is IEC plug, auto-ranging for worldwide use. For special
applications, models with –48VDC or 24VDC or 125VDC are available. Dual Source
DC input can also be selected and configured on the DC power input models.
Heavy-duty design for Telco (NEBS tested) and other industrial environments
Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6K32 design provides
for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature can be up to 55C.
MNS-6K licensed Network Management Software included, S-Ring optional
Release 3.0 (summer ’04) includes SNMP, Secure Web Management, RMON, CLI,
Port Security; Port Mirroring; Port Settings Control; Telnet, TFTP, FTP support,
Spanning Tree Protocol, RSTP, LLL, S-Ring Redundancy Mgr, (optional) multi-level
QoS, Port- and Tag-based VLANs, GVRP, IGMP Snooping, SNMPc GUI support;
Event Log; SNTP client for time-of-day; BootP and DHCP client for IP configuring,
and password security. Supplied and updated via Internet and GCI FTP Server.
