Extralink Chiron | Switch | 24x RJ45 1000Mb/s, 4x SFP+, L3, managed

Extralink Chiron - gigabit switch with SFP+ ports

Extralink Chiron is a 24-port next-generation Layer 3 switch. It is aimed at IP MAN (metropolitan area network), government and corporate networks, Internet cafes. It is developed on the basis of high-performance hardware and supports features such as efficient ACLs, flexible QinQ, 1:1 or N:1 VLAN switching, Ethernet OAM, carrier-level QoS and industry-level 10GE Ether-ring. It also supports Layer 3 routing protocol.

High reliability

Based on the advanced distribution mechanism and efficient cross-physical link aggregation function, the logic control plane, service control plane and service data plane are separated. This allows Extralink Chiron to support continuous Layer 3 routing, avoiding service interruption due to a single failure.

Telecommunications-level Ethernet switch

Chiron supports telecom-level Ethernet protection protocol with less than 50 ms protection offset time, STP/RSTP/MSTP, active and backup uplinks, and LACP link aggregation to ensure high service reliability. Provides an excellent Ethernet OAM mechanism for real-time network health monitoring for rapid problem localization and detection. Supports In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) to ensure uninterrupted data transfer during system upgrades. Supports various L2 multicast functions, including IGMP-Snooping, fast-leave and trans-vlan.

Flexible and convenient management and maintenance

• Supports management modes such as console port, Telnet, SSH, etc.
• Supports WEB management mode, which is easy and efficient, making installation and debugging convenient
• Supports file upload/download management via TFTP protocol
• Supports ISSU (In-Service Software Upgrade)

QoS rules at the operator level

• Supports priority retagging and complex flow classification based on VLAN, MAC, source address, destination address, IP or priority to enhance service level
• Provides flexible bandwidth control policies and supports port/flow based flow limit, and provides line rate forwarding of each port to ensure high quality of video, audio and data services
• Supports 8 priority queues per port
• Supports multiple queue scheduling algorithms e.g. SP, WRR and SP+WRR

Comprehensive IPv6 solutions

• Supports IPv6 protocol suite, IPv6 neighbor detection, ICMPv6, path MTU detection, etc.
• Supports Ping, Traceroute, Telnet, SSH, ACL based on IPv6, meeting IPv6 network requirements for hardware management and service control

Excellent security mechanisms

Advanced hardware infrastructure design implements level-based packet scheduling and packet protection, prevents DoS-/TCP attacks related to SYN flood, UDP flood, broadcast storm or heavy traffic, and supports level-based command line protection, giving different levels of users different management privileges.
