WGSW-5242
High-Density and Cost-effective Fast Ethernet Solution for SMB / Enterprise NetworkThe PLANET WGSW-5242 is a 48-Port 10/100Mbps plus 4 Gigabit TP / 2 SFP Managed Switch with advanced Web-based management support. It is ideal for small businesses, the network edge, or workgroups within large organizations where requires extra bandwidth, powerful QoS or security features. The WGSW-5242 is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 17.6Gbps to perform effective data traffic control for VoIP, video streaming and multicast applications in SMB and Enterprise, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.Robust Layer 2 FeaturesThe WGSW-5242 can be programmed for basic Switch management functions such as Port speed configuration, Port aggregation, VLAN, Spanning Tree protocol, QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping. The WGSW-5242 provides 802.1Q VLAN protocol, which enables you to quickly segregate network traffic by department or workgroup. The VLAN groups allowed on the WGSW-5242 will be maximally up to 256. For port aggregation, the WGSW-5242 has 4 Gigabit copper with 2 SFP fiber uplink interfaces for connecting to the core Switch that allows the operation of high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It enables up to 6 groups of maximum 8-Port trunking, and supports fail-over as well. Excellent Traffic ControlThe WGSW-5242 is loaded with powerful traffic management and includes numerous QoS and bandwidth limiting features to ensure that traffic is prioritized properly to deliver the best possible user experience for real-time applications such as voice and video or bandwidth-intensive graphic/video file uploads or downloads. It also empowers the enterprises to take full advantages of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance at VoIP and Video conferencing transmission.Efficient ManagementFor efficient management, the WGSW-5242 Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, telnet, SSH, SSL, Web and SNMP management interfaces. With its built-in Web-based management interface, the WGSW-5242 offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. The WGSW-5242 supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based management software. For text-based management, the WGSW-5242 can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the WGSW-5242 offers secure remote management by supporting SSL and SSH connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.Powerful SecurityPLANET WGSW-5242 features comprehensive Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. Its protection mechanisms also comprise port-based 802.1x user and device authentication, which prompts end users to provide their username and password before they are permitted to pass data. The port-security is effective in limiting the numbers of clients pass through, so that network administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with time and effort considerably less than before. The WGSW-5242 enables you to monitor the type of traffic being transmitted on the network by many-to-one or one-to-one port mirroring function. In addition, the unicast & multicast storm control feature of the WGSW-5242 provides threshold for bandwidth used by unicast & multicast traffic.Flexibility and Extension solutionThe WGSW-5242 is well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions. The four mini-GBIC slots built in the WGSW-5242 are compatible with 100Base-FX, 1000Base-SX/LX and WDM SFP (Small Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules which offers great flexibility for network expansion. The distance can be extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber).
