Robust Layer 2 Features
The XGS-5240-24X2QR can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as
dynamic port link aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol
(MSTP), Layer 2/4 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP/MLD snooping. The XGS-5240-24X2QR
provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the XGS-5240-24X2QR allows
the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. The switch enables a maximum of up
to 128 trunk groups with 8 ports for each trunk group and supports connection fail-over as well.
Efficient and Secure Management
For efficient management, the XGS-5240-24X2QR is equipped with console, Web and SNMP
management interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the
XGS-5240-24X2QR offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration
facility. The XGS-5240-24X2QR supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
and can be managed via any standard-based management software. For text-based management,
the XGS-5240-24X2QR can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the
XGS-5240-24X2QR offers secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMP v3
connection which encrypt the packet content at each session.
More and more engineers or administrators use Cisco command to manage Ethernet switch. For
reducing product learning time, the XGS-5240-24X2QR offers Cisco-like command and customers
do not need to learn new command. With easy and friendly management interfaces, and plenty of
management functions included, The XGS-5240-24X2QR is the best choice for ISPs to build the
IPv6 FTTx edge service and for SMBs to connect with the IPv6 network.
Flexibility and Extension Solution
The XGS-5240-24X2QR provides twenty-four 10Gbps SFP+ and two 40Gbps QSFP Fiber interfaces.
Each of the SFP+ slots supports Dual Speed, 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX and each of
the QSFP slots supports native 40G and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet modes. Therefore, the
administrator can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver according to not only the transmission
distance, but also the transmission speed required. The distance can be extended from 550 meters
to 2km (multi-mode fiber) or up to 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 km (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They
are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
