Cost-effective IPv6 Managed Gigabit Switch Solution for SMBs
As the need for IP address increases, the IPv4 network infrastructure is not capable enough to provide IP addresses to each
single user. Thus, ISPs adopt the IPv6 protocol where more IP addresses can be utilized. To meet the current trend,
PLANET has launched the IPv6-designed Gigabit Ethernet Switch, SGSW Managed Switch series. It supports both IPv4
and IPv6 management functions. With easy and friendly management interfaces and plenty of management functions
included, the SGSW Managed Switch series is the best choice for ISPs to build the IPv6 FTTx edge service and for SMBs to
connect with IPv6 network.
High-Performance / Cost-effective / Telecom class Gigabit Solution for Enterprise Backbone and Data Center
Networking
PLANET Managed Switch is a L2/L4 Managed Gigabit Switch. Since Gigabit network interface has become the basic
equipment and requirement of Enterprise and Network Servers, with 48Gbps switching fabric, the Managed Switch can
handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers. The powerful
QoS and Network Security features meet the needs of effective data traffic control for both Campuses and Enterprises, such
as VoIP, video streaming and multicast applications.
High Performance
The Managed Switch provides 24 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with 4 shared Gigabit SFP slots. It boasts a high
performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as
48Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increase bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The Managed Switch can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, port
aggregation, VLAN, Spanning Tree protocol, QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP snooping. The Managed Switch provides
802.1Q Tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN trunking and private VLAN. The VLAN groups allowed on the Managed Switch will be
maximally up to 255. Via supporting port aggregation, the Managed Switch allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to
combine multiple ports, up to eight groups of maximum to 8-ports for trunking, and supports fail-over as well.
Excellent Traffic Control
The Managed Switch is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features to enhance services offered by telecoms.
The functionality includes QoS features such as wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limiting that are particular
useful for multi-tenant unit, multi business unit, Telco, or Network Service Provide applications. It also empowers the
enterprises to take full advantages of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance at VoIP and video
conferencing transmission.
