Offers 12 1000BASE-T Ports |
| |
All of the 12 ports support 1000Mbps connectivity, making the switch an ideal backbone solution for business-oriented networks that require high-speed data processing to handle high volume data and multimedia data. |
| |
 |
MiniGBIC Compliant Combo-Port |
| |
4 ports out of the on-board 12 ports also serve as a combo port that consists of one 1000BASE-T (RJ-45) port and one MiniGBIC slot (supporting 1000BASE-SX/1000BASE-LX and SC connector). When combined with the optional MiniGBIC module, the product allows the implementation of a fiber optic Gigabit networking environment. |

 |
Intelligent Management Features |
| |
The product supports SNMP, RMON as well as a protocol for controlling multicast packets. When combined with other intelligent switch products, the SF-0408G allows the construction of networks supporting superior management functions. Network configuration can be performed via Telnet and WWW browser, as well as the product's console serial port. The web browser interface eases network management via its GUI-based configuration screens. |

IEEE802.1Q Tagging VLAN Adds Flexibility to Network Systems |
| |
Fully compliant with IEEE802.1Q Tagging VLAN technology that supports up to 255 VLAN groups, the switch divides nodes (networked PC's) into separate VLAN groups. This feature enables the construction of logical network segments that are totally independent of the original physical network configuration. |
| |
 |
Higher Data Communication Quality through L2+QoS Function |
| |
The product complies with IEEE802.1p QoS (4 levels maximum) to control the quality of data communication. By prioritizing network traffic, QoS reserves a communication band to heighten the availability of network applications including groupware and databases. Also, by recognizing and prioritizing IP operating on the L3 level, the product allows for the new diverse architectures, beyond the traditional CoS solutions. |
| |
 |
High Speed Network Redundancy IEEE802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Function |
| |
Spanning Tree function provides the L2 level redundancy feature. In a network environment, cables between multiple switches form a loop, in which one side of the link is automatically blocked and released in case of a failure. Rapid Spanning Tree function provided by the product is an enhanced high-speed version of the existing Spanning Tree standard. |
| |
 |
Link Aggregation |
| |
Fully compliant with IEEE802.3ad Link Aggregation, the product supports Trunk connection to other IEEE802.3ad-compliant switches from different vendors. |
| |
 |
IEEE802.1x Authentication Function |
| |
The product supports IEEE802.1x port-based authentication function that provides client authentication to enhance security. Moreover, the external RADIUS server enables easy and highly secure user management. |
| |
 |
Port Mirroring |
| |
The SF-0408G supports port mirroring, a function that copies packets sent or received on a specific port to another port. Using this feature, the user can attach a monitoring device such as Sniffer or Rmon probe to analyze the details of the packets that pass the source port. |
| |
 |
All Ports support Auto MDI/MDI-X |
| |
All ports support Auto MDI / MDIX, a built-in function that automatically recognizes the type (straight / crossover) of the attached cable. This feature effectively removes all wiring problems caused by a cable type mismatch. |
| |
 |
Higher Network Efficiency Achieved via Flow Control |
| |
The product supports Flow Control (Full Duplex: IEEE802.3x, Half Duplex: Back Pressure), which prevents packet losses caused by mismatches between the sending and the receiving speeds (bandwidth). The switch utilizes this technology to allow the establishment of a highly efficient and reliable networking environment |
| |
 |
Store-and-Forward Blocks Error Packets |
| |
The FMSF-0408G employs Store-and-Forward technology to block error packets within the switch itself, thereby preventing the generation of unwanted traffic on the network. |
| |
 |
CLI Interface |
| |
Command Line Interface (CLI) commonly used for configuring network devices has been adopted as the setting screen of the product. Thus, the burden of learning the local commands applicable for a specific device is reduced, allowing for much easier network management. The usual straightforward GUI is adopted as the Web setting screen. |
