Cost-effective IPv6 Managed Gigabit Switch solution for SMB
Nowadays, lots of electronic products or mobile devices can browse the Internet, which means the need of IP Address increases. However, the current IPv4 network infrastructure is not capable enough to provide IP Address to each single users / Clients. The situation forces the ISP to build up the IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) network infrastructure speedily. To fulfill the demand, PLANET releases the IPv6 management Gigabit Ethernet Switch, WGSD-8020. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 management functions. It can work with original network structure (IPv4) and also support the new network structure (IPv6) in the future. With easy and friendly management interfaces and plenty of management functions included, the WGSD-8020 is the best choice for ISP to build the IPv6 FTTx edge service and for SMB to connect with IPv6 network.

Diversity for Multiple Applications
PLANET WGSD-8020 is a desktop size, Layer 2 / Layer 4 Full Managed Gigabit Switch which can handle extremely large 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 and 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.

Flexibility and Extension Solution
The two mini-GBIC slots built in the WGSD-8020 support Dual-Speed, 100Base-FX and 1000Base-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules, that means, the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required. The distance can be extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
