Robustly Designed for Critical Business Applications
Designed to be installed in heavy
industrial demanding environments, the IGS-4215-8T2S is the new member of
PLANET Industrial-grade, DIN-rail type L2/L4 Managed Gigabit Switch family
to improve the availability of critical business applications. It provides
IPv6/IPv4 dual stack management and built-in L2/L4 Gigabit switching engine
along with 8 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, and 2 extra
100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber ports for data and video uplink. The
IGS-4215-8T2S is able to operate reliably, stably and quietly in any hardened
environment without affecting its performance. It comes with operating
temperature ranging from -40 to 75 degrees C in a rugged IP30 metal
housing.
Environmentally Hardened Design
With the IP30 industrial case, the
IGS-4215-8T2S provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant
floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets without air conditioner. Being
able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the
IGS-4215-8T2S can be placed in almost any difficult environment.
Robust Protection
The IGS-4215-8T2S provides contact
discharge of ±6KV DC and air discharge of ±8KV DC for Ethernet ESD protection.
It also supports ±4KV surge immunity to improve product stability and protects
users’ networks from devastating ESD attacks, making sure the flow of operation
does not fluctuate.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for
Surveillance System
The IGS-4215-8T2S 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, Spanning
Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system
into customer’s industrial automation network to enhance system reliability and
uptime in harsh factory environments. In certain simple Ring network, the
recovery time of data link can be as fast as < 450ms.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The IGS-4215-8T2S can be programmed for
advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation,
802.1Q VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), loop and BPDU
guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. Via the
link aggregation, the IGS-4215-8T2S allows the operation of a high-speed trunk
to combine with multiple ports such as an 8Gbps fat pipe, and supports
fail-over as well. Also, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is
the Layer 2 protocol included to help discover basic information about
neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols,
the IGS-4215-8T2S helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest
investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the
IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
Efficient Traffic Control
The IGS-4215-8T2S is loaded with robust QoS
features and powerful traffic management to enhance services to business-class
data, voice, and video solutions. The functionality includes
broadcast/multicast/unicast storm control, per port bandwidth
control, 802.1p/CoS/IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the
best performance in VoIP and video stream transmission, and empowers the
enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
User-friendly and Secure Management
For efficient management, the IGS-4215-8T2S
is equipped with Command line, Web and SNMP management interfaces.
- With the built-in Web-based management
interface, the IGS-4215-8T2S offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent
management and configuration facility.
- For text-based management, it can be accessed
via Telnet and SSHv2 protocol.
- For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers
SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session for
secure remote management.
Powerful Security from Layer 2 to Layer
4
PLANET IGS-4215-8T2S offers
comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access
Control List (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. It can be used
to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination
IP address, TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its
protection mechanism also comprises 802.1X port-based user and
device authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS to ensure the port
level security and block illegal users. With the Protected Port function,
communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy.
Furthermore, Port Security function allows limiting the number
of network devices on a given port.
Advanced Network Security
The IGS-4215-8T2S also provides DHCP
Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP
Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping from attack and discard
ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now
construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and
effort than before.
Flexibility and Long-distance Extension
Solution
The two additional SFP slots built in the
IGS-4215-8T2S support 100BASE-FX /1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor
Pluggable) fiber transceivers to uplink to backbone switch in long distance.
The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber)
and up to 120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited
for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The IGS-4215-8T2S supports SFP-DDM
(Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that can easily monitor
real-time parameters of the SFP for the network administrator, such as optical
output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and
transceiver supply voltage.
