WGSW-801SX

8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Backbone Switch


Introduction

The WGSW-801SX is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for the network core. It provides 8 full-duplex 1000BASE-SX ports that can significantly improve the performance of your network's backbone, and deliver the throughput needed to support a broad range of advanced network applications.

With 16 Gigabits of aggregate bandwidth, this Web Switch provides the quickest solution to meeting the growing demands on your network's limited resources. Each 1000BASE-SX fiber optic port can support connections up to 550 meters (1800 feet), providing high-bandwidth connectivity within or between workgroups, and increased capacity for server farms, giving your users faster access to network-wide resources.

The WGSW-801SX includes a built-in management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using the embedded management program or SNMP/RMON applications. To manage the switch, you can make a direct connection or a modem connection to the console port. You can also make a network connection to manage the switch using Telnet, the on-board Web Agent, or Castle Rock's Windows-based network management software -SNMPc.

By accessing the management agent you can configure the switch's wide array of advanced features, such as:
