XGS-5240-24X2QR Layer 2+ 24-Port 10G SFP+ + 2-Port 40G QSFP+ Stackable Managed Switch

The PLANET XGS-5240-24X2QR is a high performance Layer 2+ Stackable Managed Switch that meets the next generation Metro, Data Center, Campus and Enterprise network requirements.

It supports IPv4/IPv6 Layer 3 static routing capability and abundant L2/L4 switching engine, and provides high-density 24 10G SFP+ and 2 40G QSFP+ fiber interfaces delivered in a 1U rugged case. Up to 4 switches with a total of 96 10G SFP+ slots can be stacked up, making the management of a high-capacity network and all-purpose applications easier and more flexible.

The XGS-5240-24X2QR provides twenty-four 10Gbps SFP+ and two 40Gbps QSFP+ fiber interfaces. Each of the SFP+ slots supports Dual Speed, 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX and each of the QSFP+ slots supports native 40GBASE-SR/LR and four 10GBASE-SR/LR Ethernet modes.

The administrator can flexibly choose the suitable transceivers according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required extending the 1G/10G/40G networks efficiently. Besides, with 640Gbps switching capacity, the XGS-5240-24X2QR can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to backbone or high capacity servers where audio, video streaming and multicast applications are utilised.

The XGS-5240-24X2QR 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 application. Their protection mechanism also comprises 802.1x Port-based and MAC-based customer and device authentication. As to private VLAN function, communications between edge ports can be protected to ensure customer privacy.

The XGS-5240-24X2QR also provides functions of DHCP snooping, Option 82 and ARP guard, and Anti-ARP scanning so as to prevent IP from attacking and discarding ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now construct a highly-secure corporate network with considerably less time and effort than before.
