Key Features and Benefits
The SMC8028L2 is a standalone Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch with 24 10/100/1000 ports and 4 combo Gigabit
Ethernet RJ-45/SFP ports. The SMC8028L2 is a fully managed switch that supports power saving. It offers advanced
administration through a user-friendly web interface. Sophisticated QoS and VLAN support provide great scalability for
mission-critical applications. Switching ports can be aggregated to create a high bandwidth pipe to the network.
Comprehensive network management functions such as STP/RSTP/MSTP protocol for standard bridging, SNMP,
RMON and advanced security are fully supported.
Product Overview
Performance and Scalability
With 56Gbps switching capacity, the SMC8028L2 delivers
non-blocking and wire-speed switching performance for all
gigabit connections. The supports 24 10/100/1000 ports and 4
combo Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45/SFP ports with flexible choices
for copper or fiber uplinks. It allows users to take full
advantage of existing high-performance.
High Availability
With IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol , the
SMC8028L2 provides a loop-free network and redundant links
to the core network with rapid convergence less than 1 second.
IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol allows a
spanning –tree instance per VLAN for Layer 2 load sharing on
redundant links.
IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP)
increases bandwidth by automatically aggregating several
physical links together as a logical trunk and offers load
balancing and fault tolerance for uplink connections.
IGMP snooping provides fast client joins and leaves of
multicast streams, prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic, and
limits bandwidth intensive video traffic to the subscribers only.
Q-in-Q allows service providers to provide business user with
secure L2 Virtual Private Network between Headquarter with
branch offices without changing the existing VLAN
configuration.
Comprehensive QoS
The SMC8028L2 offers advanced Quality of Service for
traffic classification, marking and scheduling to deliver best-in
class performance for data, voice and video traffic at wire
speed.
8 egress queues per port enable differentiated management of
up to 8 traffic types.
Traffic is prioritized according to IEEE 802.1p, DSCP, IP
precedence and TCP/UDP port number, to provide optimal
performance to real-time applications.
Asymmetric bidirectional rate-limiting per port or per traffic
class preserves network bandwidth and allows maximum
control of network resources.
Enhanced Security
The SMC8028L2 provides enhanced security functions to
protect the network from the edge.
The IEEE 802.1x port-based access control ensures only
authorized users and devices are allowed to access the
network.
After users and devices access the network, the network
resources can be restricted per access right.
Access Control Lists (ACLs) restrict users and devices from
accessing sensitive network resources by denying packets
based on L2 /L3/L4headers.
Security Shell (SSH) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL/HTTPS)
encrypt network management information via Telnet and web,
providing secure network management.
TACACS+/RADIUS authentication enables centralized control
of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the
configuration of the switch.
Private VLAN isolates edge ports to ensure user privacy.
Superior Management
The SMC8028L2 support IPV6 management functions in Web/
SNMP / Telnet / TFTP allows it to be used in IPv6 network for
future investment protection
The SMC8028L2 can be managed through by industry
standard Command Line Interface (CLI) which provides a
common industry look and feel to reduce training and
operations costs. It also provides easy-of-use web GUI
interface through a standard web browser.
With four groups of RMON, the SMC8028L2 can easily backup
and restore firmware and configuration files via TFTP.
