Planet IGS-5225-8T2S2X

Advanced Layer 3 Manageable Solution for Hardened Environment

PLANET IGS-5225-8T2S2X is an industrial Layer 3 managed Gigabit Switch that features 8 10/100/1000Mbps copper ports, 2 additional 1G/2.5G SFP ports and 2 10G SFP+ ports, and supports static Layer 3 routing in a rugged IP30 aluminum case for stable operation in heavy industrial demanding environments.

With 10Gbps uplink, the IGS-5225-8T2S2X can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to an enterprise backbone or high capacity servers.

Being able to operate under wide temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the IGS-5225-8T2S2X can be placed in almost any difficult environment. The IGS-5225-8T2S2X also allows either DIN-rail or wall mounting for efficient use of cabinet space.

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The cybersecurity features that virtually need no effort and cost to have include the protection of the switch management and the enhanced security of the mission-critical network. Both SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols are utilized to provide strong protection against advanced threats. The network administrator can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X 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, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), and redundant power input system into customer’s industrial automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh factory environments.

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X also protects customer’s industrial network connectivity with switching recovery capability that is used for implementing fault tolerant ring and mesh network architectures. If the Industrial network is interrupted accidentally, the fault recovery time could be as fast as 10ms to quickly bring the network back to normal operation.

Layer 3 Network Routing Support

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X allows administrators to boost network efficiency by configuring Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 VLAN static routing manually or automatically through the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) settings.

• The RIP uses hop count as a routing metric and prevents routing loops by setting a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from source to destination.
• The OSPF is an interior dynamic routing protocol for autonomous systems based on link state. The protocol creates a database of link states 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.

 

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the IGS-5225-8T2S2X 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.

SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X provides event alert function to help to diagnose the abnormal device owing to whether or not there is a break of the network connection, or the rebooting response.

Effective Alarm Alert for Better Protection

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X supports a Fault Alarm feature which can alert the users when there is something wrong with the switches. With this ideal feature, the users would not have to waste time finding where the problem is. It will help to save time and human resource.

Digital Input and Digital Output for External Alarm

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X supports Digital Input and Digital Output on its front panel. This external alarm enables users to use Digital Input to detect and log external device status (such as door intrusion detector), and send event alarm to the administrators. The Digital Output could be used to alarm the administrators if the IGS-5225-8T2S2X port shows link down, link up or power failure.

Robust Layer 2 to Layer 4 Features

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, private VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol, Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP snooping. The IGS-5225-8T2S2X provides 802.1Q tagged VLAN, and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to 4K. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the IGS-5225-8T2S2X allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It enables a maximum of up to 3 trunk groups with 6 ports per trunk group, and supports fail-over as well.

Efficient Secure Management

For efficient management, the IGS-5225-8T2S2X is equipped with Command line, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With the built-in Web-based management interface, the IGS-5225-8T2S2X offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
• For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the RJ45 console port.
• By supporting the standard SNMP protocol, the switch can be managed via any SNMP-based management software.

 

Powerful Security

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X 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 and MAC-based user and device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user privacy. The network administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

 

Remote Management Solution

PLANET’s Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and NMSViewerPro/CloudViewerPro app support IT staff by remotely managing all network devices and monitoring PDs’ operational statuses. Thus, they’re designed for both the enterprises and industries where deployments of PDs can be as remote as possible, without having to go to the actual location once a bug or faulty condition is found. With the UNI-NMS or NMSViewerPro/CloudViewerPro app, all kinds of businesses can now be speedily and efficiently managed from one platform.

Flexibility and Extension Solution

The additional total four mini-GBIC slots built in the IGS-5225-8T2S2X, two SFP slots support triple-speed 100/1000/2500BASE-X SFP (small form-factor pluggable) and other two SFP slots supports 1G/2.5G/10GBASE-SR/LR fiber-optic modules, meaning the administrator now 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 300 meters to 2km (multi-mode fiber) and to 10/20/30/40/60/70/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.

 

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.

Modbus TCP Provides Flexible Network Connectivity for Factory Automation

With the supported Modbus TCP/IP protocol, the IGS-5225-8T2S2X can easily integrate with SCADA systems, HMI systems and other data acquisition systems in factory floors. It enables administrators to remotely monitor the industrial Ethernet switch’s operating information, port information and communication status, thus easily achieving enhanced monitoring and maintenance of the entire factory.

 

1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computing Networks

The IGS-5225-8T2S2X is ideal for telecom and Carrier Ethernet applications, supporting MEF service delivery and timing over packet solutions for IEEE 1588 and synchronous Ethernet.
