Robust Protection

The IGS-4215-24T4X 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.

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

The IGS-4215-24T4X switch delivers high-performance transmission and advanced Layer 2 and Layer 4 functionalities, along with Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 static routing. This capability enables efficient routing between different VLANs and IP addresses, offering a secure, flexible, and straightforward networking solution for diverse applications.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The IGS-4215-24T4X 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. With dynamic port link aggregation, the switch enables the creation of a high-speed trunk. For instance, it can combine four 10G ports, creating a resilient 40Gbps connection with fail-over support. Additionally, the inclusion of Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) enhances Layer 2 functionality by providing essential information about neighboring devices within the local broadcast domain.

Efficient Traffic Control

The IGS-4215-24T4X 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.

Enhancing Network Security

PLANET IGS-4215-24T4X 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. With the protected port function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. Furthermore, Port security function allows to limit the number of network devices on a given port. The network administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Ensuring Network Integrity

The IGS-4215-24T4X 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. Its accuracy, consistency, and reliability of data can be transmitted across a network. Moreover, it ensures that information remains unaltered during transmission and that the network itself is secure from unauthorized access or attacks.

User-friendly and Secure Management
