Bypass Relay Prevents Link Failure During Power Loss

Bypass relay is set to bypass the failed switch to the next normal switch to prevent the network from power loss. The WGS-5225-8MT supports the bypass relay function on the one pair of Gigabit ports. When the switch is operating normally, the Gigabit ports operate in the same way as the other ports, processing and forwarding Ethernet packets. Bypass relay ports allow network traffic to continue to flow in the event of a power outage. It also can go back to the normal mode when power is back and the switch is completely booting up to avoid another network loss. 

 

 

 

Vibrationproof and Dustproof M12 Ethernet Connector

The WGS-5225-8MT is equipped with 8-port 10/100/1000BASE-T, auto-negotiation, vibration-proof, waterproof and dustproof M12 connector. The M12 connector provides tight and strong connection, and guarantees stable Ethernet operating performance in a high vibration and shock environment. It comes with the industrial protection rating of IP67 capable of withstanding humidity, dirt, dust, shock, vibrations, heat and cold.

Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 Software VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management

To help customers stay on top of their businesses, the WGS-5225-8MT not only provides high transmission performance and excellent Layer 2 technologies, but also IPv4/IPv6 software VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over different VLANs and different IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secure, flexible management and simpler networking application.

 

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the WGS-5225-8MT 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 edge network is set up.

 

 

 

 

Robust Layer 2 Features

The WGS-5225-8MT 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 WGS-5225-8MT allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports such as a 4Gbps 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.

 

 

 

 

Efficient Traffic Control

The WGS-5225-8MT 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.

 

Powerful Security from Layer 2 to Layer 4

The WGS-5225-8MT offers 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.

 

Advanced IP Network Protection

The WGS-5225-8MT 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.

 

Efficient Management

For efficient management, the WGS-5225-8MT is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• 　With the built-in Web-based management interface, the WGS-5225-8MT offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
• 　For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
