ES4324 - Gigabit Ethernet 20+4 SFP combo ports, L2 web-smart managed switch, rack 19"

Product description
An excellent choice for Gigabit access networks is the ES4324 Gigabit Ethernet switch from Edge-Core.

The ES4324 is a 24 port 10/100/1000Mbps copper switch with 4 SFP Gigabit Ethernet slots for fiber optic connections. The switch has Layer 2 capabilities and has a WebSmart management interface.

All copper ports support auto-negotiation of speed and detection of straight/crossover cable connections through the auto MDI/MDIX capability.

Besides the priority control support, when used in an FTTx project, switch provides also VLAN capabilities. Sometimes VLAN is used to segregate different services to same customer, but most often, VLAN networks are useful in sharing a same fiber optic link to several customers which are in proximity of each other and under the standard copper cable coverage(MDU - appartments or condominiums, MHU and business centers do qualify under these particular FTTB deployments). The ES4324 switch supports port based VLAN and IEEE 802.1q VLAN, rapid spanning tree and IGMP snooping. It is also able to handle Jumbo Packets up to 9.6K size.

Probably one of the most important features of ES4324 are its impressive QoS capabilities like: bandwidth control per port, 802.1p class of service, WRR and Strict Priority functions and Storm Control.

The ES4324 offers also different ways for remote management, like web interface and SNMP management.
