Overview
Introduction
The ComNet CWGE24MS2 has twenty 100/1000Base-FX SFP ports and four Gigabit combo
ports that allow for TX or FX transmission. All SFP ports utilize ComNet SFP modules for fiber,
connector type and distance. The IEEE802.3-compliant unit offers multiple Ethernet redundancy
protocols (ERPS G.8032 and MSTP/RSTP/STP) which protect your applications from network
interruptions or temporary malfunctions by redirecting transmission within the network. The
CWGE24MS2 implements complete Layer 2 to Layer 4 ACLs to restrict access to your sensitive
network resources by filtering specific packets based on TCP/UDP ports, source and destination
IP addresses or particular network devices. Furthermore, DHCP snooping, , ARP,
IEEE 802.1X and Port Security provide additional tools to manage access and levels of use of
the network. These defence mechanisms of the CWGE24MS2 along with advanced DoS auto
prevention deliver robust network security and enables network administrators to offer more
stable services on a more secure network.
In this guide, the term “Switch” (first letter upper case) refers to the CWGE24MS2 Switch, and
“switch” (first letter lower case) refers to other switches.
