amounts of data in a secure topology linking to an Enterprise backbone or high capacity network server with 16Gbps switching
fabric. The powerful features of QoS and network security offered by the WGSD-8020 provides effective data traffic control for
ISPs and Enterprises VoIP, video streaming and multicast applications. It is ideal for the remote access layer of campus or
enterprise networks and the aggregation layer of IP metropolitan networks.
High Performance
The WGSD-8020 provides 8 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2 shared Gigabit SFP slots. It boasts high
performance architecture of switch that is capable for providing the non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as
high as 16Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The WGSD-8020 can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic Port link aggregation,
Q-in-Q VLAN , private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP
Snooping. The WGSD-8020 provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to 255. Via
aggregation of supporting ports, the WGSD-8020 allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It enables
maximum up to 4 groups of 8 ports for trunk and supports fail-over as well.
Enhanced Security
PLANET WGSD-8020 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 of 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. New WGSD-8020 Net Security also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard 及 Dynamic ARP Inspection
functions to prevent IP snooping attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can
now construct highly secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Excellent Traffic Control
The WGSD-8020 series is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features to enhance services offered by telecoms.
The QoS features includes wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limiting that are particular useful for multi-tenant
unit, multi business unit, Telco, or Network Service Provider applications. The WGSD-8020 also empowers the enterprises to
take full advantages of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance in VoIP and Video conferencing
transmission.
Efficient and Secure Management
For efficient management, the WGSD-8020 Managed Ethernet Switch is equipped with console, WEB and SNMP management
interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the WGSD-8020 offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent
management and configuration facility. The WGSD-8020 supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and
can be managed via any standard-based management software. For text-based management, the WGSD-8020 can be
accessed via Telnet and the console port. Moreover, the WGSD-8020 offers secure remote management by supporting SSH,
SSL and SNMPv3 connection which encrypt the packet content at each session.
