Korenix’s new firmware in the JetNet 5428G series rackmount managed switches adds new features such as MSTP network redundancy, Private VLAN and QinQ for enhancing the reliability, performance and data security of industrial networks.
Using additional MSTP, the JetNet series allows users to build scalable and reliable networks in broader industrial applications. In order to provide more efficient network maintenance and enhanced security of communication, the private VLAN and QinQ have been added to the switches’ hardware to help improve network security, simplify VLAN assignment and resolve VLAN shortage problems in specific applications.
The series is equipped with 24 fast Ethernet copper and 4 Gigabit RJ45/SFP combo orts, designed to provide flexible distance and high-speed uplink connections for control rooms running large-scale network applications.
To provide high quality data transmission the switches support wire speed forwarding capability as well as Jumbo frame with up to 9 KB packet size, allowing users to transmit large size traffic without packet loss or collision. Other than the MSTP technology, the JetNet 5428G series also support Korenix’s patented MSR ring redundancy and the MultiRing technology for aggregating up to 12 Fast Ethernet and two copper/fibre Gigabit or FE rings where reliable and non-stop data transmission is guaranteed.
