Flexible Port
● Gigabit Ethernet access port and 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink.
● Allows users to choose copper or fiber ports for different applications.
● Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet port that increases 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 consolidated and simplified with a single IP address, Telnet, and CLI session.
● Designed with high reliability and availability, providing zero service interruption when any VSU member leaves or joins 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 deployment of complex security control policies to create a secure network environment.
● Supports Network Foundation Protection Policy (NFPP), which integrates network attack detection and prevention. Implements hardware-based security policies before network attacks occur by isolating attacker sources.
● Adopts CPU Protection Policy (CPP), an industry-leading hardware-based CPU protection technology that automatically controls and manages the traffic of multi-layer protocol packets such as IPv4/IPv6. Also limits traffic throughput to prevent abnormal packets from attacking the CPU and consuming resources. In this way, it ensures the stability of core device CPUs in IPv4/IPv6 L3 and L2 network environments.
● Provides 802.1X authentication based on port or MAC, as well as Guest VLAN functionality to restrict access to resources. Provides a unique bypass function when the authentication server fails.
● Supports flexible Web authentication (alternative for users).
IPv4/IPv6 Multi-Layer Switching
● Provides hardware support for line-rate IPv4/IPv6 multi-layer switching, supports hardware-based distinction and processing of IPv4 and IPv6 packets, and provides flexible IPv6 networking schemes based on IPv6 deployment requirements and network conditions.
● Provides Layer 3 routing protocols including Static, RIP, and RIPng routing protocol or dynamic protocol according to user network requirements.
● Supports Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) and Policy-Based Routing (PBR) Layer 3 features to meet various network requirements.
Ease of Use and Manageability
● Supports Web Management with a 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, effectively performing network maintenance and management.
● Supports Telnet, SSH, and SNMP (v1/v2/v3), simplifying management; users can choose any of these methods for remote switch monitoring and management. Multiple port data streams can be monitored simultaneously through a single port. Users can monitor inbound frames, outbound frames, or both while improving maintenance efficiency.
● Supports CLI management interface, providing convenience for advanced users.
● Supports Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) technology, facilitating network troubleshooting and operations.
