Product Description - Magnum 6K32T Managed Switch
The Magnum 6K32T Managed Switch provides high port density, with up to
32 ports in a 1U rack-mount package. It is used to boost the performance of large
Ethernet LANs, typically serving as a “backbone” switch in
carrier-class (Telco)
or
Industrial
applications of various media requirements of copper and Fiber.
Being a member of the Magnum 6K-family, the Magnum 6K32T supports
modularity in the last two slots to configure any of the modules offered. The Magnum
6K32T comes along with 16 10/100 RJ-45 ports fixed and two modular configuration
slots. The two modular configurable slots of the Magnum 6K32T provide the flexibility
to configure up to sixteen RJ-45 and 16 fiber ports for a maximum of 16+ 4
Gigabit(1000Mb) options to handle high bandwidth application. The Magnum 6K32T
supports the modularity in the last two slots, to configure any of the modules offered.
The Magnum 6K32T is equipped with robust MNS-6K Managed Network
Software to handle industry-standard IEEE 802.1p QOS prioritization and non-blocking
wire speed on all ports. It provides high performance switching services for both
“smooth” streaming and “bursty” data traffic. For redundant LANs, it offers S-ring, Link-
Loss-Learn, STP and RSTP. Security features include SNMPv3, SSL/SSH, 802.1X,
, Port Security, and Tagged VLANs. See MNS-6K materials for further
details about software.
The Magnum 6K32T‘s port flexibility is achieved via a family of 6K port
modules (6KPM). These modules come with copper and fiber-built-in (emphasizing
Small Form Factor fiber for high fiber port density), 6-port modules for fiber and RJ-45
combinations, and 1Gb or 2Gb port module selections using GBIC transceivers in copper
or fiber. These modules can be factory configured in a base chassis unit (or may be
changed in the field by trained technicians) to adapt the unit to the user’s application and
Ethernet media requirements. Evolving mixed-media requirements for 10Mb and 100Mb
fiber, copper, and Gigabit ports can be easily handled by the Magnum 6K32T product
reliably
The packaging and power-input options target the Magnum 6K32T for heavy-
duty applications. The chassis mounting rack style may be “regular” (with the ports and
LEDs in the front and the power input and management console connector in the rear) or
“Reverse” (with the ports and LEDs and the power-input and the management console
connector all in the rear and a duplicate set of LEDs in the front). Rack widths
