Chapter 1. Introduction
Both WGS3-404 and WGS3-2620 are IP-based Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch. WGS3-404 is with
4-port 10/100/1000Mbps and 4-slot for 1000Base-T and 1000Base-SX modules. WGS3-2620 is with
24-port 10/100Mbps and 2-port 1000Mbps switches.
The 2 and four RJ-45 gigabit copper ports support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-MDI/MDI-X detection that can
directly connect to any Gigabit Ethernet Servers, Switches, L3 backbone with a straight Category 5/5e,
8-wire UTP cable.
The wire-speed switch engine provides up to 8.53 and 16Gbps switch fabric for L2 and L3 IP routing
capability. Up to 256 IP subnet / L2 tagged VLAN are also available to segment the IP or MAC-based
networks. IEEE802.1D Spanning Tree, bridging, Port mirroring and port trunking also support for optimal
LAN connection and diagnose. IGMP snooping, filtering, dual priority helps to build a multimedia
networks like video-conference etc.
Designed to offer the guaranteed IP Layer 3 routing with RIP, OSPF and DVMRP support, the
WGS3-404 and WGS3-2620 empower the performance of pure IP-based network easier then ever.
