(24) 10/100/1000 BASE-TX + (4) 1000BASE-FX MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH

The ComNet™ CWGE28FX4TX24MS Layer 2 Managed 28 Port Ethernet Switch supports twenty-four (24) 10/100/1000BASE-TX por ts and four (4) 1000BASE-FX port s of Ethernet data. The four 1000BASE-FX ports are SFP configurable for fiber type (multimode or single-mode), connector type and distance. The exclusive C-Ring redundant ring feature protects networks from interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast recovery technology. The electrical ports support the 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet IEEE

802.3 protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDI/MDIX features are included. The CWGE28FX4TX24MS are optically (1000BASE-FX) and electrically compatible with any IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet device.

Overview

Introduction

The ComNet CWGE28FX4TX24MS is a managed redundant ring Ethernet switch with 24x10/100/1000Base-(TX) ports and 4x1000Base-X SFP ports. The Ethernet Redundancy protocol, C-Ring (Gigabit model recovery time < 30ms over 250 units of connection) and MSTP/RSTP/ STP (IEEE 802.1s/w/D) can protect your applications from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast recovery technology.

ComNet’s Ethernet switches provide advanced IP-based bandwidth management which can limit the maximum bandwidth for each IP device. The User can configure IP cameras and Network Video Recorders with more bandwidth and limit other device’s bandwidth.

ComNet’s Ethernet switches also support application-based QoS. Application-based QoS can set the highest priority for data stream according to TCP/UDP port number. The ComNet special IP police function can permit only allowed IP address with MAC address to access the networking. Unintended access is eliminated, as a user cannot access the IP surveillance network without permission. Moreover, the ComNet CWGE28FX4TX24MS switch provides advanced DoS/DDoS auto prevention. If an IP flow rises quickly, the CWGE28FX4TX24MS switch will lock the source IP address for a certain time to prevent the attack. It is hardware-based prevention so it can prevent DDOS attack immediately and completely. And all functions of the CWGE28FX4TX24MS can also be centrally managed conveniently by eConsole, the Web-based interface, Telnet and console (CLI) configuration. Therefore, the switch is one of the most reliable choices for highly managed and Gigabit Fiber Optic Ethernet applications.

Total Neighbors Entries Deleted Shows the number of new entries deleted since switch reboot.

Total Neighbors Entries Dropped Shows the number of LLDP frames dropped due to that the entry

table was full.

Local Counters

Label Description

Local Port The port on which LLDP frames are received or transmitted.

Tx Frames The number of LLDP frames transmitted on the port.

Rx Frames The number of LLDP frames received on the port.

Rx Errors The number of received LLDP frames containing some kind of error.

Frames Discarded

If an LLDP frame is received on a port, and the switch’s internal table has run full, the LLDP frame is counted and discarded. This situation is known as “Too Many Neighbors” in the LLDP standard. LLDP frames require a new entry in the table when the Chassis ID or Remote Port ID is not already contained within the table. Entries are removed from the table when a given port links down, an LLDP shutdown frame is received, or when the entry ages out.

TLVs Discarded Each LLDP frame can contain multiple pieces of information, known as TLVs (TLV is short

for “Type Length Value”). If a TLV is malformed, it is counted and discarded.

TLVs

The number of well-formed TLVs, but with an unknown type value.

Unrecognized

Org. Discarded The number of organizationally TLVs received.

Age-Outs Each LLDP frame contains information about how long time the LLDP information is

valid (age-out time). If no new LLDP frame is received within the age out time, the LLDP information is removed, and the Age-Out counter is incremented.
