It supports In-service Software Upgrade (ISSU) and Graceful Restart (GR) for OSPF/BGP routing protocol, guaranteeing the user non-stop data transmission when the system is upgraded. It supports Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) that realizes fault detection and service recovery in seconds through linking with Layer 2 or Layer 3 protocol.

 

Excellent and Secure Traffic Control

The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C is loaded with powerful traffic management and WRR features to enhance services offered by telecoms and enterprises. 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.

 

Powerful Security from Layer 2 to Layer 4

The ACL policies supported can classify the traffic by source/destination IP addresses, source/destination MAC addresses, IP protocols, TCP/UDP, IP precedence, time ranges and ToS. Moreover, various policies can be conducted to forward the traffic. The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C also provides IEEE 802.1x port-based access authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS, to ensure the port level security and block illegal users. Thus, the XGS-6350-48X2Q4C empowers enterprises and campuses to take full advantage of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance in VoIP and video conferencing transmissions.

 

Robust Layer 2 Features

The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, port aggregation, VLAN, Spanning Tree Protocol, WRR, bandwidth control and IGMP snooping. It also supports 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q, voice VLAN and GVRP Protocol. In addition, the number of VLAN interfaces is 1K and the number of VLAN IDs is 4K. By supporting port aggregation, the XGS-6350-48X2Q4C allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports, making it an LACP link aggregation.

For efficient management, the XGS-6350-48X2Q4C Managed 100Gigabit Switch is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With its built-in Web-based management interface, the XGS-6350-48X2Q4C offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
• The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based management software.
• For reducing product learning time, the XGS-6350-48X2Q4C offers Cisco-like command via Telnet or console port. Moreover, the XGS-6350-48X2Q4C offers secure remote management by supporting SSH connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.

 

Centralized Hardware Stacking Management

Several XGS-6350-48X2Q4C switches can be used to build a virtually logical facility. The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C gives the enterprises, service providers and telecoms flexible control over port density, uplinks and switch stack performance. The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C can connect as a ring for redundancy and ensures that data integrity is retained even if one switch in the stack fails. You can even hot-swap switches without disrupting the network, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.

 

Flexibility and Extension Solution

The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C provides forty-eight 10Gbps SFP+, two 40Gbps QSFP+ and four 100Gbps QSFP28 Fiber interfaces. Each of the SFP+ slots support Dual Speed, 10GBASE-SR/LR or 1000BASE-SX/LX and each of the QSFP28 slots supports native 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 40G and 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet modes. Therefore, the administrator can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver according to not only the transmission distance, but also the transmission speed required. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2km (multi-mode fiber) or up to 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 km (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.

 

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The XGS-6350-48X2Q4C 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 50ms to quickly bring the network back to normal operation.
