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.
