Flexible Port
● Gigabit Ethernet access port and 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink.
● Allow users to select copper or fiber ports for different usage scenarios.
● Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet port that increases the bandwidth between the convergence layer and the core layer to meet bandwidth-hungry applications such as video, voice, and data.
VSU (Virtual Switch Unit)
● Up to 8 switches can be virtualized into a single logical unit.
● Switch operation management can be unified and simplified with a single IP address, Telnet, and CLI session.
● Designed with high reliability and availability, ensuring zero service interruption when any VSU member joins or leaves the VSU group.
● Aggregates up to 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports or 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports as VSU connections.
Flexible and Comprehensive Security Policies
● Abundant ACL resources allow the deployment of complex security control policies to build a secure network environment.
● Supports Network Foundation Protection Policy (NFPP) which integrates network attack detection and prevention. It enforces hardware-based security policies before network attacks occur by isolating attacker sources.
● Adopts CPU Protection Policy (CPP) technology, an industry-leading hardware-based CPU protection mechanism that automatically controls and manages the traffic of multi-layer protocol packets such as IPv4/IPv6. It also limits traffic throughput to prevent abnormal packets from attacking the CPU and consuming resources. In this way, it ensures the stability of core devices’ CPUs in IPv4/IPv6 L3 network and L2 network environments.
● Provides 802.1X authentication based on port or MAC, as well as Guest VLAN function to limit access to resources. Offers a unique bypass function when the authentication server fails.
● Supports flexible Web authentication (alternative for users).
IPv4/IPv6 Multi-Layer Forwarding
● Provides hardware support for IPv4/IPv6 multi-layer switching at wire speed, supports identification and processing of IPv4 and IPv6 packets based on hardware, and provides flexible IPv6 networking schemes according to IPv6 deployment planning and network status.
● Provides Layer 3 routing protocols including Static, RIP, RIPng, or dynamic protocols according to user network requirements.
● Supports Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing and Policy-Based Routing (PBR) Layer 3 features to meet diverse networking requirements.
Ease of Use and Management
● Supports Web Management with Graphical User Interface (GUI), making management more flexible and user-friendly.
● Supports Network Time Protocol (NTP) providing accurate and consistent timestamps for traffic information analysis and fault diagnosis.
● Supports Syslog to effectively perform network maintenance and management.
● Supports Telnet, SSH, and SNMP (v1 / v2 / v3), making management easier. Users can choose any of the methods to remotely monitor and manage switches. Data streams of multiple ports can be monitored simultaneously through a single port. Users can monitor ingress frames, egress frames, or both while improving maintenance efficiency.
● Supports CLI management interface for advanced users.
● Supports Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) technology, facilitating network troubleshooting and operation.
