For network security enhance, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provides 512 IEEE
802.1Q VLAN groups to segment the port-based networks and the static
MAC address / MAC address filtering function and comprehensive Access
Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge as well. For network
Ethernet traffic analysis, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provides port mirroring
function to monitor the traffic on its Ethernet ports, and it also equips with
QoS features to enhance services offered by telecoms. This function provides
priority queues per port for different types of traffics, allowing
administrators to set policies for classified filtering and rule-based rate
limitation.
Designed to offer the guaranteed IP Layer 3 routing with RIP, OSPF and
DHCP relay function support, the WGS3-2840 empowers the performance
of pure IP-based network easier than ever. The IGMP snooping function
helps to build a multimedia networks like video-conference and etc.
With its built-in Web-based management, the PLANET WGS3-2840 offers
an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration
facility. The PLANET WGS3-2840 supports standard Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based
management software. For text-based management, the WGS3-2840 can
also be accessed via telnet method and the console port.
For easier to configure multiple WGS3-2840 with the same setting in a short
time, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provide current configuration backup /
restore function. It also provides new firmware upgrade through the Web
interface for enhancing the performance of the WGS3-2840.
WGS3-2840
To fill the demand of Layer 2 (Data Link) and Layer 3 (Network) multi-layer
applications from enterprises and campuses, PLANET releases the new
generation Layer 3 24-Port 10/100Mbps plus 4G TP/SFP Combo Layer 3
Managed Ethernet Switch, WGS3-2840.
The PLANET WGS3-2840 equips with 24-Port 10/100Mbps with 4 Gigabit
TP/SFP Combo interfaces plus the powerful Layer 2 management functions /
Layer 3 routing feature. Its 24 10/100Mbps and 4 Gigabit TP ports support
Auto-Negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 5/5e
or 6 cables. All the ports support Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can automatically
detect the types of connection to any Ethernet devices without requiring
special straight or crossover cables. The 4 SFP interfaces together with 4
Gigabit TP ports by default, shared with port 25 to port 28. With the
PLANET mini-GBIC fiber-optic module installed, it offers incredible
extensibility, flexibility and connectivity to the other core switches or servers.
For universal demand and application of Layer 2, the PLANET WGS3-2840
provides high effective management functions, such as per port disable /
enable, speed duplex, flow control settings, bandwidth control and per port
Ethernet traffic statistics for counter. To improve the performance of entire
network environment, the PLANET WGS3-2840 provides IEEE 802.1d
Spanning Tree and IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree function. For optimal
LAN connection and diagnose between two node switch devices, the link
aggregation is the ideal solution and it supports up to 12 link aggregation
groups.
