2.4 Applications Magnum 6K32F Series Fiber Switches offer high performance along with four
modular slot options to fulfill the choice of copper/Fiber, 10,100 or 1000Mb
requirements. The 6K32F Series also offers MNS-6K management software loaded with
multiple useful features. The Magnum IEC61850 6K32F Series Switches are used in a
variety of Power sub-stations applications including, Industrials and temp. un-controlled,
secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental networks, and LAN traffic centers
that require Gigabit backbone services. The performance characteristic of the 6K32F
Series Switches enables them to inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet per 6K32F
Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet connections may be via fiber or twisted
pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and full-or half-duplex mode.
The mixed-media capability in the modular slot is ideal for upgrading existing
Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated. The fiber-built-
in media capability provides future-proof fiber cabling for the LAN structure. The
secured management features offer a multiple options to provide a secure Network
solution.
Example 1 : Magnum 6K32F Series Switch for a VLAN application
Equipped with lots of advanced management features, the Magnum 6K32F
Series Managed switch is able to handle a VLAN application and provide security and
performance in an Ethernet network center. A secure VLAN-enabled network is simply
an administratively-configured broadcast domain. The network administrator determines
which ports and nodes are in which broadcast domains by setting membership profiles
for each of them. The Magnum 6K32F’s VLAN capability can be configured in two
types of virtual LANs; Port-based VLANs and Tag-based VLANs.
In an office environment where departments such as Finance, Engineering,
R&D, and Marketing need to each keep a secure LAN, the 6K32F’s VLAN feature will
prevent traffic cross-over among traffic domains and thus keep sensitive data and
information controlled. The Managed Magnum 6K32F Series equipped with VLAN
capability is ideal for any application where a secure VLAN to multiple departments is
needed.
