High-Performance / Cost-effective / Telecom Gigabit solution for

backbone of Enterprise and Networking of Data Center

The PLANET WGSW-24020 is a L2/L4 Full Managed Gigabit Switch. Since

Gigabit network interface had become the basic equipment and

requirement of Enterprises and Network Servers, the WGSW-24020 can

handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a

backbone or high capacity server with 48Gbps switching fabric. The

powerful features of QoS and Network Security make WGSW-24020 to

meet the needs of effective data traffic control for ISPs and Enterprises,

such as VoIP, video streaming and multicast applications.

High Performance

The WGSW-24020 provides 24 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports

with 2 shared Gigabit SFP slots. It boasts high performance architecture of

switch that is capable for providing the 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 WGSW-24020 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

WGSW-24020 provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups

allowed on the WGSW-24020 will be maximally up to 256. Via

aggregation of supporting port, the WGSW-24020 allows the operation of

a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports, up to eight groups of

maximum to 8-ports for trunking, and it supports fail-over as well.

Excellent Traffic Control

PLANET WGSW-24020 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.

Efficient Management

For efficient management, the WGSW-24020 Managed Ethernet Switch is

equipped with console, WEB and SNMP management interfaces. With its

built-in Web-based management, the PLANET WGSW-24020 offers an

easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.

The PLANET WGSW-24020 supports standard Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any

standard-based management software. For text-based management, the

WGSW-24020 can also be accessed via Telnet and the console port. For

secure remote management, the WGSW-24020 supports SSL and SSH

connection which encrypt the packet content at each session.

Powerful Security

PLANET WGSW-24020 offers comprehensive Access Control List (ACL) for

enforcing security to the edge. Its protection mechanism also comprises of

port-based 802.1x user and device authentication. The port-security is

effective to limit the numbers of clients to pass through, so that network

administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with

time and effort considerably less than before.

Flexibility and Extension solution

The two mini-GBIC slots are compatible with 1000Base-SX/LX and WDM

SFP(Small Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules. The distance can be

extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/50/70/120

kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for using

within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
