Product Description
IPv6 Routing and 10G Ethernet Switch Solutions for the Next Generation Internet Protocol
PLANET XGS3-24242 Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch supports multi-layer IPv6/IPv4 Gigabit Ethernet Routing, and provides 24 100/1000Mbps SFP slots, 16 shared 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports, 4 extra 1/10G SFP+ uplink slots and 2 20G QSFP+ slots for Hardware stacking to meet the bandwidth requirements and protect network investment for enterprises. The XGS3-24242 is implemented with the following advanced technologies:
■ IPv6/IPv4 Routing and Management
■ 10G Ethernet Switching
■ Single IP Address Management
■ Redundant Power System
■ QSFP+ slots for Hardware Stacking
Positioned as the distribution or aggregation layer switch for large networks, the XGS3-24242 supports IP Stacking technology that helps to manage and configure up to 24 units via one single IP address easily. It is suitable for campus networks, metropolitan IP networks and other large infrastructures as it offers intelligent security features, high performance and flexibility. The XGS3-24242 can also be an excellent choice as a core layer switch for enterprises, data centers or small- and medium-sized networks.
High Reliability Hardware Stacking
Using QSFP+ port to connect several servers and build a virtually logical facility. The XGS3-24242 gives the enterprises, service providers and telecoms flexible control over port density, uplinks and switch stack performance. The stack redundancy of the XGS3-24242 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
Supporting 10Gb Ethernet
With 10Gbps uplink, the XGS3-24242 can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to an enterprise backbone or high capacity servers. Each of the SFP+ slots supports Dual-Speed, 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX, meaning the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP/SFP+ transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the network efficiently.
Core Routing Switch
With 24 Gigabit ports, 4 SFP+ fiber interfaces and Layer 3 IP/multicast routing capability, the XGS3-24242 provides high-performance solution for telecoms, network service providers and enterprises.
High-density and VRRP Backbone Routing Switch
With the built-in robust IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 IP and multicast routing protocols, the XGS3-24242 ensures reliable routing between VLANs and network segments. The routing protocols can be applied by VLAN interface with up to 1K routing entries. The high-density routing interfaces provide expandability to meet the growing network’s needs. Moreover, with the hot VLAN feature – Q-in-Q (VLAN stacking) – supported, it allows the service providers to offer certain services such as Internet access on specific VLANs for specific customers and yet still provides other types of services for their other customers on other VLANs.
Data Center Security and QoS Switch
The XGS3-24242 performs 208 Gigabits per second non-blocking switch fabric, so it can easily provide a local, high bandwidth, and Gigabit Ethernet network for the backbone of your department. With the four built-in SFP+ ports, the XGS3-24242 provides the 10G uplink to the backbone network through 10G Ethernet LR/SR SFP+ modules. It further improves the network efficiency and protects the network clients by offering the security and QoS features.
AC and DC Redundant Power to Ensure Continuous Operation
The XGS3-24242 is equipped with one 100~240V AC power supply unit and one empty power supply slot for redundant DC power supply – XGS3-PWR150-48 installation, which supports -40 ~ -60V DC power input. With XGS3-PWR150-48 DC power supply implemented, the XGS3-24242 can be applied as the telecom level device. 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.
