1.2 About the Switch

Planet’s WSW-2401 is a 24 port 10/100 mbps switch with 1 slot available for a 100FX module. The WSW-2401 is a high performance switch that provides users with high-speed network connections with a store-and-forward architecture that is able to eliminate faulty packets. The switch is managed through telnet, web and console. SNMP MIBII is also supported for maximum management functionality.

The WSW-2401 supports IEEE802.1X user authentication with RADIUS client functionality, preventing unauthorized clients from gaining access to the network. MAC address filtering and static MAC address are also provided for improved network security.

The capabilities of the WSW-2401 include auto learning and storage of up to 8K of MAC addresses, as well a non-blocking 8.8Gbps back plane for packet transmission. The switch also supports IEEE802.1Q VLAN up to 256 groups. IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol is used to maintain a loop-free network, and IGMP to limit the flow of IP multicast traffic. IEEE802.3ad Trunking with LACP function is supported to increase the bandwidth between switches. In addition, bandwidth control is provided on a per-port basis (100K per level).
