Overview
Details
EtherWAN's EG97000 is a gigabit Layer 3 managed switch for high bandwidth uplink or interconnection use. It is specially designed to perform as a router with fast data forwarding done via hardware, capable of IP routing and switching across virtual LANs (VLANs) and subnetworks with no compromise in performance. Compared to traditional full wire-speed Layer 2 managed switches, the EG97000 offers optimal path determination, great QoS security and better traffic management capability to support more than a robust set of Layer 2 managed switch features. As is often said, while Layer 2 switches create networks, Layer 3 switches connect networks. With these rich sets of Layer 3 managed features, the EG97000 supports comprehensive internetwork IP routing that can operate simultaneously with redistribution to other route control tools, including prefix-list and route-map.In addition, the EG97000 comes with 4 x 10G fiber connection, supporting superior distribution-to-core switching aggregation capability. An added 16 x 1G fiber connection will also help switches to form multiple fiber interconnections without using copper cables and their resulting electromagnetic interference.
With its hardened specifications, EG97000 provides high reliability and nonstop operation in harsh environments, and it designs for operating stably in temperatures from -40 to 75∞C (-40 to 167∞F), as well as in areas with high electromagnetic interface (EMI). The EG97000 is also equipped with sophisticated network and system failure recovery features including VRRP and dual redundant power supplies. This
makes it an ideal choice for both industrial and mission critical applications where sustained connectivity is crucial.
