High-performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capability
Some models in the ITS-6326 series include two 10G M12 ports and two Q-ODC slots, designed with a high-performance switch architecture that provides non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput of up to 112Gbps. This robust capability effectively simplifies LAN upgrades to accommodate increasing bandwidth demands.
Each 10G M12 port supports four transmission speeds: 1GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 5GBASE-T, and 10GBASE-T, offering administrators the flexibility to choose the appropriate speed for efficient network expansion. Additionally, the 10G Q-ODC slots exclusively accommodate 10GBASE-SR/LR single-mode fiber transceivers.Engineered for reliability in challenging conditions, it serves as the ideal solution for railway on-board and trackside applications, as well as for vehicles and other demanding industrial environments.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications
The ITS-6326 series supports redundant ring technology and features robust, rapid self-recovery capabilities to prevent interruptions and external intrusions, it incorporates the advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and dual power input into an industrial automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments. In a simple ring network, the recovery time of data link can be as fast as 10ms.
Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks
The industrial managed switch supports SSHv2, TLS and SSL protocols to provide strong protection against advanced threats. In addition, it includes a range of cybersecurity features such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, ARP Inspection Protection, 802.1x port-based and MAC-based network access control, RADIUS and TACACS+ user accounts management, SNMPv3 authentication, and so on to complement it as an all-security solution.
Layer 3 Routing Support
The ITS-6326 series empowers administrators to enhance network efficiency by manually configuring Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 VLAN static routing or automatically setting up RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and OSPF (Open Shortest Path First).The RIP uses hop count as a routing metric and prevents routing loops by limiting the number of hops permitted in a path from source to destination.The OSPF, a dynamic interior routing protocol for autonomous systems, operates based on link-state information. It builds a link-state database through the exchange of link-state data among Layer 3 switches and applies the Shortest Path First algorithm to generate a route table from this database.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The ITS-6326 series 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 ITS-6326 series 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.
User-friendly Management Interfaces
For efficient management, this series is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.
- With the built-in Web-based management interface, the ITS-6326 series 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 ITS-6326 PoE Series offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2, TLSv1.2 and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the ITS-6326 series helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
Powerful Security
Offering comprehensive Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) features for enforcing security at the edge, it can restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP addresses, TCP/UDP ports, or predefined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also includes 802.1x port-based and MAC-based user and device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports is prevented, ensuring user privacy. Network administrators can now build highly secure corporate networks with significantly less time and effort than before.
1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computing Networks
The ITS-6326 series is ideal for telecom and Carrier Ethernet applications, supporting MEF service delivery and timing over packet solutions for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet.
Modbus TCP Provides Flexible Network Connectivity for Factory Automation
With the supported Modbus TCP/IP protocol, the ITS-6326 series can easily integrate with SCADA systems, HMI systems and other data acquisition systems in factory floors. It enables administrators to remotely monitor the industrial Ethernet switch’s operating information, port information and communication status, thus easily achieving enhanced monitoring and maintenance of the entire factory.
SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert
The ITS-6326 series provides event alert function to help to diagnose the abnormal device owing to whether or not there is a break of the network connection, or the rebooting response.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The ITS-6326 series supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP+ transceivers, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
Digital Input and Digital Output for External Alarm
This external alarm system enables users to utilize a Digital Input to monitor and log the status of external devices, such as door intrusion detectors, and send event alarms to administrators. The Digital Output can be used to alarm administrators of any changes in link status, whether the link is down or up, on the ITS-6326 series port.
Effective Alarm Alert for Better Protection
The ITS-6326 series includes a Fault Alarm feature that promptly alerts users to any issues with the switches. This valuable functionality eliminates the need for users to spend time identifying the problem, resulting in significant savings in both time and human resources.
