Product Description
Powerful Layer 3 Routing Solution for All Long-Reach Networks
PLANET SGS-6341-16S8C4XR is a Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch that provides high-density performance, Layer 3 static routing, RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) with 10Gbps uplink and multiple SFP fiber interfaces delivered in a rugged, strong case. The administrator can flexibly choose the suitable SFP/SFP+ transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the 10G network efficiently. Besides, with 128Gbps switching fabric, the SGS-6341-16S8C4XR can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to backbone or high capacity servers for ISP and enterprise VoIP, video streaming, and multicast applications.
High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity
The four SFP+ slots built in the SGS-6341 series supports Dual-speed, 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX. With 10Gbps uplink interfaces the SGS-6341 series boasts a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 128Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
AC and DC Redundant Power to Ensure Continuous Operation
The SGS-6341-16S8C4XR is equipped with one 100~240V AC power supply unit and one additional 12V DC power supply unit for redundant power supply. A redundant power system is also provided to enhance the reliability with either AC or DC power supply unit. The redundant power system is specifically designed to handle the demands of high-tech facilities requiring the highest power integrity.
IP Stacking Management
The SGS-6341 series supports IP stacking function that helps network managers to easily configure up to 24 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.
High Reliability Hardware Stacking
Two of the 10G SFP+ ports are used to connect several SGS-6341 series build a virtually logical facility. The SGS-6341 series gives the enterprises, service providers and telecoms flexible control over port density, uplinks and switch stack performance. The SGS-6341 series can connect as a ring for redundancy and ensures that data integrity is retained even if one switch in the stack fails. You can even hot-swap switches without disrupting the network, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Layer 3 Routing Support
The SGS-6341 series 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.
Full IPv6 Support
The SGS-6341 series 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 Features
The SGS-6341 series can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, port aggregation, VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, WRR, bandwidth control and IGMP snooping. This switch provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q, voice VLAN and GVRP Protocol functions. By supporting port aggregation, the SGS-6341 series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports. It enables up to 128 groups for trunking with a maximum of 8 ports for each group.
Excellent Layer 2 to Layer 4 Traffic Control
The SGS-6341 series is loaded with powerful traffic management and WRR features to enhance services offered by telecoms. The WRR functionalities include wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limitation which are particularly useful for multi-tenant unit, multi-business unit, Telco, or network service applications. It also empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources and guarantees the best in VoIP and video conferencing transmission.
High Availability Mesh Networking Solution for Big Data System
By means of improving the technology of Optical Fiber Ethernet with highly-flexible, highly-extendable and easy-to-install features, the SGS-6341-16S8C4XR offers up to 128Gbps data exchange speed via Optical Fiber interface and the transmission distance can be extended to 120km. The SGS-6341-16S8C4XR features strong, rapid, self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates IEEE 802.1s MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, spanning tree by VLAN) into customer’s automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime. The SGS-6341-16S8C4XR is the ideal solution for data centers, service providers and telecoms to build redundant connection and establish high bandwidth for Big Data server farm.
Excellent Solution to Core/Data Center Security and QoS Switch
The SGS-6341-16S8C4XR performs 128 Gigabits per second non-blocking switch fabric so it can easily provide a local 10Gbps high bandwidth Ethernet network for the backbone of your department. With the four built-in SFP+ ports, the SGS-6341-16S8C4XR provides the uplink to the backbone network through the 10G Ethernet LR/SR SFP+ modules. It further improves the network efficiency and protects the network clients by offering the security and QoS features.
Layer 3 VLAN Routing
With the built-in robust Layer 3 traffic routing protocols, the SGS-6341-16S8C4XR ensures reliable routing between VLANs and network segments. The routing protocols can be applied via VLAN interface. The SGS-6341-16S8C4XR is certainly a cost-effective and ideal solution for enterprises.
