Features and Highlights
Flexible Access and Scalability
With multiple port types, CS6200-8G24S2Q support 8 ports 100M or 1000M copper access, 24 ports 1G or 10G fiber access, and 2 ports 40G fiber access. The 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity of CS6200-8G24S2Q-EI is accomplished via a hot-pluggable 40 Gigabit QSFP+ transceiver which supports distance up to 300 meters over multimode fiber and 10 to 40km over single-mode fiber (The distance depends on the optical module chosen).
VSF (Virtual Switch Framework)
Virtual Switch Framework can virtualize multiple DCN switches into one logical device, achieving the sharing of information and data tables between different switches. The performance and ports density of the virtualized device is greatly enlarged by times under VSF. VSF also simplifies management work for the network administrator and provides more reliability.
Rich L3 Features
CS6200-8G24S2Q-EI delivers high-performance, hardware-based IP routing. RIP, OSPF, and BGP provide dynamic routing by exchanging routing information with other Layer 3 switches & routers. With CS6200-8G24S2Q-EI, customers could easily achieve a Policy-based Route (PBR), which is important when they need a multi exit application.
Strong Multicast
CS6200-8G24S2Q-EI supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2, such as IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and fast leave. L3 multicast protocols such as IGMPv1/v2/v3, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, PIM-SSM, and even MSDP. With Multicast VLAN Register (MVR), multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detect functions; CS6200-8G24S2Q-EI provides a great application experience for the customer.
Easy High-Reliability network
MRPP is a Multi-layer Ring Protection Protocol, which is DCN’s private fast Ethernet ring protocol. Comparing to spanning tree protocol, it has the advantages of fast convergence, simple protocol calculation, fewer system resources cost, and so on, which can improve the reliability of Ethernet network operation.
Comprehensive QoS
With 8 queues per port, CS6200-8G24S2Q-EI enable differentiated management of up to 8 traffic types. The
traffic is prioritized according to IEEE802.1p, DSCP, IP precedence, and TCP/UDP port number, giving optimal performance to real-time applications such as voice and video. CS6200-8G24S2Q-EI also supports Bi-directional rate-limiting, per port or traffic class preserves network bandwidth, and allows full control of network resources.
Enhanced Security
IEEE 802.1X port-based access control and MAC-based access control ensure all users are authorized before being granted access to the network. Ingress/Egress Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to sensitive network resources by denying packets based on L2/L3/L4 headers information. And for some services that are based on time, the product can support time-based ACL to match the requirement. Secure Shell (SSH) encrypts network management information via Telnet providing secure network management. RADIUS Authentication enables centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration of the switch.
