Powerful 10Gbps and Layer 3 Routing Solution for Enterprise Backbone and Data Center NetworkingPLANET SGS-6341-24T6X is a brand-new Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch with 10Gbps uplink capability for various kinds of network applications and flexible deployment. The SGS-6341-24T6X features 24 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports and 6 1G/10GBASE-X SFP+ ports with 168Gbps switch fabric delivered in a 1U rugged case design.PLANET SGS-6341-24T6X provides high-density performance. Layer 3 static routing. RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First). the SGS-6341-24T6X can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to an enterprise backbone or high capacity servers. The powerful WRR (Weighted Round Robin) and Network Security features make the SGS-6341-24T6X perform effective data traffic control for ISP and enterprise VoIP. video streaming. and multicast applications.High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet CapacityThe six SFP+ slots built in the SGS-6341-24T6X support dual-speed. 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX. With 10Gbps uplink interfaces. the SGS-6341-24T6X boasts a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 168 Gbps. which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.Central IP Stacking ManagementPositioned as the distribution or aggregation layer switch for large networks. the SGS-6341-24T6X supports IP stacking function that helps network managers to easily configure up to 8 switches in the same series via one single IP address instead of connecting and setting each unit one by one. The IP Stacking technology groups PLANET SGS-6341 switch series together to enable centralized management through a single unit. regardless of physical location or switch type. as long as they are connected to the same local network.Centralized Hardware Stacking ManagementUp to 8 SGS-6341-24T6X units can be stacked to operate as a single logical switch. simplifying network management and expansion. The ring-based stacking design provides redundancy so that data traffic continues even if one unit fails. The switches can also be hot-swapped without service interruption. greatly streamlining upgrades and scaling for increasing bandwidth demands.Redundant Ring. Fast Recovery for Critical Network ApplicationsThe SGS-6341-24T6X supports redundant ring technology and features strong. rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology and Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP) into customer’s network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments. In a certain simple Ring network. the recovery time could be less than 50ms to quickly bring the network back to normal operation. Layer 3 Routing SupportThe SGS-6341-24T6X enables the administrator to conveniently boost network efficiency by configuring Layer 3 static routing manually. and the RIP or OSPF settings automatically. The RIP can employ the hop count as a routing metric and prevent routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The OSPF is an interior dynamic routing protocol for autonomous system based on link state. The protocol creates a database for link state by exchanging link states among Layer3 switches. and then uses the Shortest Path First algorithm to generate a route table based on that database.Rich Multi-layer Networking ProtocolsThe SGS-6341-24T6X comes with the complete Layer 3 managed function with comprehensive protocols and applications to facilitate the rapid service deployment and management for both the traditional L2 and L3 networks. With support for advanced features. including RIP. RIPng. OSPFv2. OSPFv3. BGP. BGP4+. etc.. this switch is ideal for the traditional or fully-virtualized data center.Strong MulticastThe SGS-6341-24T6X supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2. it features IPv4 IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and IPv6 MLD v1/v2 snooping. With Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR). multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detection functions can be had. In Layer 3 multicast protocols. it features PIM-DM. PIM-SM and PIM-SSM which make the SGS-6341-24T6X great for any robust networking.Full IPv6 SupportThe SGS-6341-24T6X provides IPv6 management and enterprise-level secure features such as SSH. ACL. WRR and RADIUS authentication. It thus helps the enterprises to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment. In addition. you don’t need to replace the network facilities when the IPv6 FTTx edge network is built. Robust Layer 2 FeaturesThe SGS-6341-24T6X can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration. port aggregation. VLAN. Spanning Tree Protocol. WRR. bandwidth control and IGMP snooping. It also supports 802.1Q tagged
