1.2 About the Switch
The WGSW-2403 comes with 24 10/100Base-TX auto-MDI/MDI-X ports, two slots for
optional of 1000Base-SX, 1000Base-LX, 10/100/1000Base-T modules and a shared slot
for a 100Base-FX module. Each unit has a built-in management interface for configuring
and monitoring through console port, telnet, web and SNMP.
The WGSW-2403 provides a switch stacking function to manage up to 8 switches using a
single IP address. Through its proprietary management bus using a standard RJ-45
cable, the distance between stacked switches can be up to 800m. The management bus
traffic is separated from the network ports, ensuring heavy network loading does not affect
management tasks. Upto 208 Ethernet ports can be managed by a single IP address.
The WGSW-2403 can also be stacked with PLANET’s WGSW-14020 16G Switch and
VC-1602 VDSL Switch, providing the flexibility for various applications.
The IEEE 802.1Q with VLAN tagging feature make logically separating nodes easier and
up to 255 VLAN group are allowed on the WGSW-2403. Rate control is also supported to
allow bandwidth allocation on a per-port basis. Two priority queues ensure critical
applications get the bandwidth and priority they need. IGMP snooping is also provided
to prevent flooding of IP multicast traffic.
