This intelligent managed routing switches designed for networks requiring High performance, High port density, High uplink bandwidth, Flexibility, Fault Tolerance, and Advanced Software features for maximum Return on Investment (ROI). Switch models are designed for full PoE capability on all ports, power and fan redundancy, Layer 3 feature support static and dynamic routing, these are optimized for today’s surveillance, mobile and IoT needs. Designed for operational simplicity to lower total cost of ownership, they enable scalable, secure, and energy-efficient business operations with intelligent and automated services.
It has high performance fixed uplink with fiber/copper 10G, 1G/10GE, 1GE ports fixed uplink which helps it to meet the requirement of high-end campus LAN, Metro/Enterprise networks. Each switch is capable to deliver 15.4W PoE and 30W PoE+ along with automated power (ON/OFF) scheduling with perpetual IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE (Power over Ethernet), 802.3at compliant PoE+ (Power over Ethernet plus) and having power budget up to 800W. Switches are PoE/PoE+ capable to provide power across all access ports for wireless APs, security cameras, and other IoT devices which are used in surveillance. These switches are powerful and flexible enough for users to deploy PoE/PoE+ standard supplies up to 30W of power per port which is backward compatible with 15.4W PD which makes it ideal for applications using high power wireless access points, PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) IP cameras, Surveillance cameras, VoIP telephony systems, kiosks, POS terminals, thin client, 802.11ac and 802.11ax access points, small cells, and connected LED lighting devices over longer distances up to 250 meters. It’s software includes OSPF, RIP, Static route, QoS Traffic classification based on Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, and priority information Actions including ACL, CAR, and re-marking, Queue scheduling modes such as PQ, WFQ and PQ+WRR, Congestion avoidance mechanisms, including WRED and tail drop, Traffic shaping, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP), 802.1x authentication, RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication for login, DoS, ARP, MAC address attacks, broadcast storms, and heavy-traffic and ICMP attack defenses, Remote Network Monitoring (RMON).
These switches have advanced Security features, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS), ideal for all organizations considering reliable, affordable hardware with well-known CLI and simple Web managed real time interface. Automated PoE/PoE+ scheduling, Scripting capabilities, Layer 3 routing, Automatic MDIX and Auto-negotiation on all ports select the right transmission modes (half or full duplex) as well as data transmission for crossover or straight-through cables dynamically. Moreover, with its innovative energy-efficient technology, can save up to 58% of power consumption, making it an eco-friendly perfect solution for your business network. These switches come with lifetime free software upgrades and patching to enhance features and supports patching, which provides fixes for critical bugs and security vulnerabilities between regular maintenance upgrades. This support allows customers to add new features and upgrades without having to pay a single dollar.
It has a 4K-entry VLAN table which provides VLAN classification according to port-based, protocol-and-port-based, MAC-based, and Flow-based capability. It also supports IVL (Independent VLAN Learning), SVL (Shared VLAN Learning), and IVL/SVL (both Independent and Shared VLAN Learning) for flexible network topology architecture. It provides IEEE802.1ad (Q-in-Q) for double tag insertion and removal function. In additions, VLAN translation function is also supported for Metro Ethernet applications with up to 32K entries L2 MAC table are supported with 2-left 4-way hashing algorithm which can effectively reduce collision ratio. An independent 4K-entry Multicast table is used to support Multicast functions, such as IGMP snooping. The device supports a 4K-entry VLAN/Ingress/Egress Access Control List (ACL). The ACL function supports L2/L3/L4 match fields and performs configurable actions, such as Drop/Permit/Redirect/Mirror /Logging/Policing/Ingress VLAN conversion/Egress VLAN conversion/QoS remarking/VLAN tag status assignment. Per-port ingress/egress bandwidth control and per-queue egress bandwidth control are supported. The device provides three types of packet scheduling, including SP (Strict Priority), WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing), and WRR (Weighted Round Robin). Each port has 8 physical queues, and each queue provides a leaky bucket to shape the incoming traffic into the average rate behavior. The Broadcast/Multicast/Unknown-Multicast/Unknown-Unicast storm suppression function can inhibit external and internal malicious attacks. The device supports 4-sets of port mirror configurations to mirror ingress and egress traffic. RSPAN, sFlow are also supported for traffic monitoring purposes. For network management purposes, complete MIB counters are supported to provide forwarding statistics in real time. The link aggregation function enhances link redundancy and increases bandwidth linearly. It offers robust QoS to optimize traffic on your Business Network, these switches provide (Port-based/802.1p/DSCP) QoS to keep latency-sensitive video and voice traffic jitter-free moving smoothly. Additionally, port-based, tag-based VLAN, Voice VLANs can improve security and meet more network segmentation requirements. This series switches also have provisioning of QOS, Static and dynamic routing for IPV6 clients.
Simplified Configuration and Management
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) simplifies installation of the switch.
Easy to manage via Console/web-Based Management (WEB GUI)/Telnet/SSH/ HTTPS.
Remote Manageability
Remote management is the process that allows the administrators to take full control of all operations using a remote. This remote management via WEB GUI /Telnet/ SSH/ HTTPS will reduce time and money spent on management and maintenance and physical presence of Network Engineer.
Management by CLI- Console, Telnet (RFC854) up to 3 sessions
Management by WEB GUI- HTTP, HTTPS for management Based on Remote Configuration and maintenance Using Telnet.
In this CLI guide we will understand Management by Command Line Interface (CLI) through console port, telnet management mode.
Management Access Modes
Accessing the Switch via console port
How to Login COMMANDO Series E3000 via console port?
The console interface is used by connecting the Switch to a VT100–compatible terminal or a computer running an ordinary terminal emulator program (e.g., the Hyper Terminal program included with the Windows operating system) using an RS–232C serial cable. Your terminal parameters will need to be set to:
- VT–100 compatible
- 115200 baud
- 8 data bits
- No parity
- One stop bit
- No flow control
Users may also access the same functions over a Telnet interface. Once you have set an IP address for your Switch, you can use a Telnet program (in VT–100 compatible terminal mode) to access and control the Switch. All the screens are identical, whether accessed from the console port or from a Telnet interface.
Step 1: Connect the Switch console port with PC/Laptop via console cable.
Fig-1. Connection of console port with PC/Laptop via console cable.
Step 2:The communication parameters configuration of the PuTTY Terminal with console is shown below Baud rate (Speed):115200
Fig-2. PuTTY configuration in PC for console port access
Step 3: Click on “Open”. You will get following window.
With the console port properly connected to a management computer, the following screen should be visible.
