24-Port Gigabit with 2 Shared SFP Managed Security Switch
Data Sheet
1
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.
