SGS-6341-Series User Manual

User’s Manual of SGS-6341 series
It enables centralized manageme
nt regardless of the series of switches being distributed in various locations.
New switches can be flexibly added to the IP stacking group when network expands.
Layer 3 Routing Support
The SGS-6341 Series enables the administrator to conveniently boost network efficiency by configuring Layer
3 static routing manually, the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) settings
automatically. The RIP can employ the hop count as a routing metric and prevent routing loops by
implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum
number of hops allowed for the RIP is 15. The OSPF is an interior dynamic routing protocol for autonomous
system based on link-state. The protocol creates a link-state database by exchanging link-states among
Layer 3 switches, and then uses the Shortest Path First algorithm to generate a route table based on that
database.
Abundant IPv6 Support
The SGS-6341 Series provides IPv6 management and enterprise-level secure features such as SSH,
ACL, WRR and RADIUS authentication. The SGS-6341 Series thus helps the enterprises to step in the IPv6
era with the lowest investment. In addition, you don’t need to replace the network facilities when the IPv6
FTTx edge network is built.
High Performance
The SGS-6341 Series boasts a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing
non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 128Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks
of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The SGS-6341 Series 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 SGS-6341 Series provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q, voice VLAN and GVRP Protocol. The VLAN
groups allowed to be on the SGS-6341 Series will be maximally up to 256. By supporting port aggregation,
the SGS-6341 Series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports. It enables up to
16 groups for trunking with a maximum of 8 ports for each group.
Excellent Traffic Control
The SGS-6341 Series is loaded with powerful traffic management and WRR features to enhance services
offered by telecoms. The WRR functionalities include wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth
limitation which are particularly useful for multi-tenant unit, multi-business unit, Telco, or network service
applications. It also empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources and
guarantees the best in VoIP and video conferencing transmission.
Powerful Security
The SGS-6341 Series 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 SGS-6341
