Powerful Security
The MGSW-28240F offers a comprehensive 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 and MAC-based user, and
device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user
privacy. The MGSW-28240F 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.
Excellent Traffic Control
The MGSW-28240F is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features to enhance connection services by telecoms
and ISPs. The QoS features include wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limit that are particularly useful for
multi-tenant units, multi-business units, Telco and network service providers applications. It also empowers the industrial
environment to take full advantage of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance in VoIP and video
conferencing transmission.
Flexible and Extendable 10Gb Ethernet Solution
10G Ethernet is a big leap in the evolution of Ethernet. Each of the 10G SFP+ slots in the MGSW-28240F supports dual speed
and 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX. With its 4-port, 10G Ethernet link capability and additional 4-port 1G Ethernet link
capability, 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. The MGSW-28240F provides broad bandwidth and
powerful processing capacity.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The MGSW-28240F supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily
monitor real-time parameters of the SF P, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and
transceiver supply voltage.
