Full-Function Layer 2 / Layer 4 Managed Switch for Enterprise and Campus Networks
PLANET FGSW-2840 is a 24-port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch with 4 Gigabit ports and 2 combo 100/1000X SFP interfaces. It comes with a high-performance switch architecture that offers an unblocked 12.8 Gb/s switching fabric and wire-speed throughput at 9.5 Mpps. Four built-in GbE uplink ports provide incredible scalability, flexibility, and connectivity to core switches or servers. The powerful QoS and network security features offered by the FGSW-2840 enable the switch to perform effective data traffic control for ISPs and enterprise VoIP, video streaming, and multicast applications. It is ideal for remote access layer in campus or enterprise networks and aggregation layer in IP metropolitan networks.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The FGSW-2840 can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as port mirroring, port security, port isolation, and loop detection. It also supports dynamic port link aggregation (Static Trunk and LACP), 802.1Q VLAN, Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), static/dynamic MAC address filtering, IGMP snooping, multicast IP, multicast filtering, and DHCP filtering. The FGSW-2840 allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports through link aggregation. It provides up to six 4-port groups for trunking and supports load balancing and failover.
Enhanced Security
The FGSW-2840 offers comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control Lists (ACLs) to enforce security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP addresses.
Efficient Traffic Control
The FGSW-2840 is equipped with powerful QoS features and robust traffic management to enhance services for enterprise-class data, voice, and video solutions. The functionalities include broadcast/multicast/unicast storm control, per-port bandwidth control, 802.1p/CoS/IP DSCP QoS priority, and remarking. It guarantees optimal performance in VoIP and video streaming transmissions and enables enterprises to make full use of limited network resources.
