Robust Layer 2 Features
The GS-6322-24P4X can be programmed for advanced Layer 2 switch management functions such as dynamic port link
aggregation, 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Layer 2 to Layer 4
QoS, bandwidth control, IGMP snooping and MLD snooping. Via the aggregation of supporting ports, the GS-6322-24P4X
can operate at high speed as it comes with multiple ports and supports fail-over as well. trunk group
Powerful Network Security
The GS-6322-24P4X offers a comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 access control list (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge.
It can be used to restrict to network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP port
number or defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises 802.1x Port-based and MAC-based
user and device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to
ensure user privacy.
Advanced IP Network Protection
The GS-6322-24P4X also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP
snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrator can now construct
highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the GS-6322-24P4X is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.
With the built-in Web-based management interface, it offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and
configuration facility.
For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet
content at each session for secure remote management.
