Powerful 10Gbps and Layer 3 Routing Solution for Enterprise Backbone and Data Center Networking PLANET GS-6311-16S8C4XR is a brand-new Layer 3 Managed Gigabit Switch with 10Gbps uplink capability for various kinds of network applications and flexible deployment. The GS-6311-16S8C4XR features 24 100/1000BASE-X SFP ports and 8 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 copper ports, shared with Ports 1 to 8, and 4 1G/10GBASE-X SFP+ ports with 128Gbps switch fabric delivered in a 1U rugged case design. The GS-6311-16S8C4XR provides high-density performance, Layer 3 static routing, RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First). With 10Gbps interfaces and 128Gbps switching fabric, the GS-6311-16S8C4XR can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to an enterprise backbone or high-capacity servers. The powerful network security features make the GS-6311-16S8C4XR perform effective data traffic control for ISP and enterprise VoIP, video streaming, and multicast applications. High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity The four SFP+ ports built in the GS-6311-16S8C4XR boasts a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as up to 128Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands. Each of the SFP+ ports 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. Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications The GS-6311-16S8C4XR 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 customers network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments. In a certain simple Ring network, the recovery time could be less than 15ms to quickly bring the network back to normal operation. Layer 3 Routing Support The GS-6311-16S8C4XR enables the administrator to conveniently boost network efficiency by configuring Layer 3 static routing manually, the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) 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 Layer 3 switches, and then uses the Shortest Path First algorithm to generate a route table based on that database. Strong Multicast The GS-6311-16S8C4XR supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2, it features IPv4 IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and IPv6 MLD v1/v2 snooping. With Multicast VLAN Register (MVR), multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detect functions which make the GS-6311-16S8C4XR great for any robust networking. Full IPv6 Support The GS-6311-16S8C4XR 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 dont need to replace the network facilities when the IPv6 FTTx edge network is built. Robust Layer 2 Features The GS-6311-16S8C4XR can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, port aggregation, VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, 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 GS-6311-16S8C4XR allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports. It enables up to 64 groups for trunking with a maximum of 8 ports for each group. Excellent Layer 2 to Layer 4 Traffic Control The GS-6311-16S8C4XR 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. Powerful Network Security The GS-6311-16S8C4XR offers comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. ItShow moreShow less
