Key Features and Benefits
Performance and Scalability
With high switching capacity, CS6200 series support wire-speed L2/L3 forwarding and high routing performance for IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. The 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity of CS6200 is accomplished via a hot-pluggable 10 Gigabit SFP+ transceiver which supports distance up to 300 meters over multimode fiber and 10 to 40km over single-mode fiber(The distance depends the optical module chosen). CS6200 series support modular redundant AC and DC power supplies for different environment applications.
OpenFlow
CS6200 supports OpenFlow1.0 standard protocol. OpenFlow network is increasingly becoming a trend as the core protocol of SDN network. It makes the network easier programming OpenFlow brings the high performance to datacenter users via self-defined network. With OpenFlow, this product is ideal to build SDN test-bed for research institutes and SDN Experimental Bureau for large ISP and operator.
VSF(Virtual Switch Framework)
Virtual Switch Framework can virtualize multiple DCN switches into one logical device, achieving the sharing of information and data tablesbetween different switches. The performance and ports density of virtualized device are greatly enlarged by times under VSF. VSF alsoprovides simplified management work for network administrator and more reliability.
Rich L3 Features
CS6200 series delivers high-performance, hardware based IP routing. RIP, OSPF and BGP provide dynamic routing by exchanging routing information with other Layer 3 switches and routers. With CS6200 series, customers could easily achieve Policy based Route(PBR), which is important when they need multi exit application.
Strong Multicast
CS6200 series supports abundant multicast features. In Layer 2, such as IGMPv1/v2/v3 snooping and fast leave. L3 multicast protocols such as IGMPv1/v2/v3, PIM-DM, PIM-SM, PIM-SSM and even MSDP. With Multicast VLAN Register (MVR), multicast receiver/sender control and illegal multicast source detect functions; CS6200 series provides great application experience for customer.
MPLS/VPLS
CS6200-HI series supports MPLS L3 VPN/MPLS L2 VPN(VPLS) and helps customer to construct more secure/extendable network. With max.252 VRF instances, CS6200 series could be deployed as P & PE devices, guaranteeing the variety of services.
Easy High Reliability network
MRPP is Multi-layer Ring Protection Protocol, which is DCN’s private fast Ethernet ring protocol. Comparing to spanning tree protocol, it has advantages of fast convergence, simple protocol calculation, less system resources cost and so on, which can improve the reliability of Ethernet network operation.
Comprehensive QoS
With 8 queues per port, CS6200 series enable differentiated management of up to 8 traffic types. The traffic is prioritized according to IEEE802.1p, DSCP, IP precedence and TCP/UDP port number, giving optimal performance to real-time applications such as voice and video. CS6200 series also supports Bi-directional rate-limiting, per port or traffic class, preserves network bandwidth and allows full control of network resources.
Enhanced Security
IEEE 802.1X port-based access control and MAC-based access control ensure all users are authorized before being granted access to the network. Ingress/Egress Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to restrict access to sensitive network resources by denying packets based on L2/L3/L4 headers information. And for some services are based on time, the product can support time based ACL to match the requirement. Secure Shell (SSH) encrypts network management information via Telnet providing secure network management. RADIUS Authentication enables centralized control of the switch and restricts unauthorized users from altering the configuration of the switch.
Abundant IPv6 Support
CS6200 series supports IPv6 switching and routing based on hardware for maximum performance. With increased network devices growing and the need for larger addressing and higher security become critical, CS6200 series will be a right product to meet the
Green-Energy
Temperature monitoring, alarming, automatic cooling, energy saving features are realized on CS6200. According to the temperature monitoring, Fan speed can be adjusted or stopped to reduce energy consumption and noise.
60W PoE support
CS6200-52X-P-EI support IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3bt PoE standard and totally 740W PoE output. IEEE 802.3bt is supported on up to 8 ports and IEEE 802.3at is supported on all ports.
