PLANET Layer 3 12-Port 10GBASE-X SFP+ Managed Ethernet Switch

Perfect Managed All-port 10Gbps Switch with Layer 3 Switching and Security

PLANET XGS-6311-12X is a fully-managed all-port 10Gbps Ethernet switch designed for the demand of high-bandwidth required network equipment, such as Wi-Fi 6/6E wireless AP, NAS and workstation. It features 12 10GBASE-X SFP+ fiber ports that are flexibly designed to extend the connection distance. 

The XGS-6311-12X provides high-density performance, Layer 3 static routing, RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) with 10Gbps interfaces.

With such a favorable data link capability, hardware-based Layer 3 routing performance, Layer 2 switching engine and user-friendly yet advanced IPv6/IPv4 management interfaces, it helps to accelerate the deployment of the next-generation high-bandwidth required network for metro, smart cites and enterprises.

High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capacity

The twelve SFP+ slots built in the XGS-6311-12X support dual-speed, 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX. With 10Gbps interfaces, the XGS-6311-12X boasts a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 240Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The XGS-6311-12X 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. In a certain simple Ring network, the recovery time could be less than 15ms to quickly bring the network back to normal operation.

Layer 3 Routing Support

The XGS-6311-12X enables the administrator to conveniently boost network efficiency by configuring Layer 3 static routing manually, and the RIP or OSPF settings automatically. The RIP can employ the hop count as a routing metric and prevent routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The OSPF is an interior dynamic routing protocol for autonomous system based on link state. The protocol creates a database for link state by exchanging link states among Layer 3 switches, and then uses the Shortest Path First algorithm to generate a route table based on that database.

Strong Multicast

The XGS-6311-12X supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2, it features IPv4 IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and IPv6 MLD v1/v2 snooping. With Multicast VLAN Register (MVR), multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detect functions which make the XGS-6311-12X great for any robust networking.

Full IPv6 Support 

The XGS-6311-12X provides IPv6 management and enterprise-level secure features such as SSH, ACL, WRR and RADIUS authentication. It thus helps the enterprises to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment. In addition, you don’t need to replace the network facilities when the IPv6 FTTx edge network is built.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The XGS-6311-12X can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, port aggregation, VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, WRR and bandwidth control. This switch provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q, voice VLAN and GVRP Protocol functions. By supporting port aggregation, the XGS-6311-12X allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports.  

Excellent Layer 2 to Layer 4 Traffic Control

The XGS-6311-12X is loaded with powerful traffic management and WRR features to enhance services offered by telecoms. The WRR functionalities include wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limitation which are particularly useful for multi-tenant unit, multi-business unit, Telco, or network service applications. It also empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources and guarantees the best in VoIP and video conferencing transmission. 

Powerful Security

The XGS-6311-12X 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 user and device authentications, which can be deployed with RADIUS, to ensure the port level security and block illegal users.

Advanced IP Network Protection

The XGS-6311-12X 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 and Secure Management

For efficient management, the XGS-6311-12X is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With the built-in Web-based management interface, the XGS-6311-12X 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. For reducing product learning time, the XGS-6311-12X offers Cisco-like command and customer doesn’t need to learn new command from these switches
• 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 XGS-6311-12X offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2 and SSLv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The XGS-6311-12X 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.
