PLANET NMS and NMSViewerPro app, which with PLANET's free cloud service, allows users to quickly and easily detect, configure, deploy and manage devices remotely. You can just scan the NMS agent's (NMS-500/NMS-1000V) QR code using the mobile application to easily monitor and control the remote network devices via the private cloud.

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The XGS-6311-8T4XR 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 15ms to quickly bring the network back to normal operation.

Layer 3 Routing Support

The XGS-6311-8T4XR enables the administrator to conveniently boost network efficiency by configuring Layer 3 static routing manually, and the RIP or OSPF settings automatically. The RIP can employ the hop count as a routing metric and prevent routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The OSPF is an interior dynamic routing protocol for autonomous system based on link state. The protocol creates a database for link state by exchanging link states among Layer 3 switches, and then uses the Shortest Path First algorithm to generate a route table based on that database.

Strong Multicast

The XGS-6311-8T4XR supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2, it features IPv4 IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and IPv6 MLD v1/v2 snooping. With Multicast VLAN Register (MVR), multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detect functions which make the XGS-6311-8T4XR great for any robust networking.

Full IPv6 Support 

The XGS-6311-8T4XR provides IPv6 management and enterprise-level secure features such as SSH, ACL, WRR and RADIUS authentication. It thus helps the enterprises to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment. In addition, you don’t need to replace the network facilities when the IPv6 FTTx edge network is built.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The XGS-6311-8T4XR can be programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, port aggregation, VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, WRR and bandwidth control. This switch provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, Q-in-Q, voice VLAN and GVRP Protocol functions. By supporting port aggregation, the XGS-6311-8T4XR allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combined with multiple ports.  

Excellent Layer 2 to Layer 4 Traffic Control

The XGS-6311-8T4XR is loaded with powerful traffic management and WRR features to enhance services offered by telecoms.

It also empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources and guarantees the best in VoIP and video conferencing transmission. 

Powerful Security

The XGS-6311-8T4XR 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 802.1x Port-based user and device authentications, which can be deployed with RADIUS, to ensure the port level security and block illegal users.

Advanced IP Network Protection

The XGS-6311-8T4XR also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Efficient and Secure Management

For efficient management, the XGS-6311-8T4XR is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With the built-in Web-based management interface, the XGS-6311-8T4XR offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.

• 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 XGS-6311-8T4XR offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2 and SSLv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The XGS-6311-8T4XR supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP and SFP+ transceivers, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
