Designed with "Front Access," it allows easy maintenance when installed in cabinets, ideal for networks needing bandwidth upgrades.

High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity

The four SFP+ ports built in the MGSW-24160F boasts a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as up to 120Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands. Each of the SFP+ ports supports 4 speeds, 10GBASE-SR/LR, 2500BASE-X, 1000BASE-SX/LX and 100BASE-FX, meaning 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.

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The MGSW-24160F 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 and Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP) into customer’s network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments. 

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The MGSW-24160F supports SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols to provide strong protection against advanced threats. It includes a range of cybersecurity features such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, Dynamic ARP Inspection Protection, RADIUS and TACACS+ user accounts management, SNMPv3 authentication, and so on to complement it as an all-security solution.

Digital Input and Digital Output for External Alarm

The MGSW-24160F supports Digital Input and Digital Output through a terminal block located on its front panel. This external alarm enables users to use Digital Input to detect and log external device status (such as door intrusion detector), and send event alarm to the administrators. The Digital Output could be used to alarm the administrators if the MGSW-24160F port shows link down, link up or power failure.

Effective Alarm Alert for Better Protection

The MGSW-24160F incorporates a Fault Alarm feature that promptly notifies users of any issues with the switches. This valuable feature eliminates the need for users to spend time locating the problem, resulting in significant time and human resource savings.

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

The MGSW-24160F switch not only provides ultra high transmission performance, and excellent Layer 2 and Layer 4 technologies, but also Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over different VLANs and different IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secure, flexibly-managed and simple networking application.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The MGSW-24160F can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, 802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), loop and BPDU guard, IGMP snooping, and MLD snooping. Via the link aggregation, the MGSW-24160F allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, 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 MGSW-24160F 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 Management Interfaces

For efficient management, the MGSW-24160F is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With the built-in Web-based management interface, the MGSW-24160F offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
• For text-based management, the switches can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
• For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session for secure remote management.

Moreover, the MGSW-24160F offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2, TLSv1.2 and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.

IPv4 and IPv6 VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management 

To help customers stay on top of their businesses, the MGSW-24160F not only provides ultra high transmission performance and excellent Layer 2 technologies, but also offers IPv4/IPv6 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.

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The MGSW-24160F supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP and SFP+ transceivers, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.

Redundant AC/DC Power Supply to Ensure Continuous Operation

The MGSW-24160F is particularly equipped with one 100~240V AC power supply unit and one 36~60V DC power supply unit to provide an enhanced reliable and scalable redundant power supply. The continuous power system is specifically designed to fulfill the demands of high-tech facilities requiring the highest power integrity. With the 36~60V DC power supply, the MGSW-24160F is able to act as a telecom-level device that can be located in the electronic room.
