Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGS-5225 Series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation,
Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP snooping.
The WGS-5225 Series provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to 255. Via
aggregation of supporting ports, the WGS-5225 Series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It
enables a maximum of up to 2 trunk groups with 2 ports per trunk group, and supports fail-over as well.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the WGS-5225 Series is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces. With the
built-in Web-based management interface, the WGS-5225 Series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management
and configuration facility. For text-based management, the WGS-5225 Series can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
Moreover, it also offers secure remote management via any standard-based management software by supporting SNMPv3
connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.
Powerful Security
The WGS-5225 Series offers a comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. It
can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP ports 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. The network administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort
than before.
