Transition Networks Announces 8-Port All Fiber Managed Switch
Posted by Pineapple on June 23rd, 2011
Minnetonka, Minnesota — June 23, 2011 — Transition Networks Inc., the switching and conversion technology expert, a wholly owned subsidiary of Communications Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JCS), today announced the release of an 8-port all fiber managed switch. This new dual speed fiber switch supports (8) Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFPs) slots, each configurable with 100Base or 1000Base SFP transceivers. A wide variety of SFP optical transceivers are available to offer a full range of deployment options over multimode and single mode fiber. In addition, the switch also offers (2) shared combination ports that provide auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 connectivity.
The MIL-SM8DPA is suitable for both Metro Ethernet and office applications and features comprehensive and useful functions such as Quality of Service (QoS), Spanning Tree, RSTP/MSTP, VLAN, LLDP and IGMPv3 Snooping capability via the management interface.
The newly released all fiber switch also supports enhanced security features including: SSH, SSL and TACACS+. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) can protect all HTTP traffic by encrypting the data and allowing secure access to the Web-based management GUI of the switch. The switch also supports Secure Shell (SSH) which enables the encryption of all transmitted data for remote command-line interface (CLI) access over IP networks. Lastly with TACACS+ authentication, the switch can provide secure management via logging in through a TACACS+ server.
Transition has also built support for both IPV4 and IPV6 protocols into the MIL-SM8DPA. Due to the staggering increase of users in recent years, the internet has begun to feel the pinch from a shortage of available IPV4 IP addresses. For network managers that are facing having their network upgraded from IPV4 to IPV6 or are operating a hybrid environment, the MIL-SM8DPA will help to future-proof their network with advanced IPV6 protocols.
“Our dual speed fiber switch provides network operators with a flexible solution for delivering extraordinary Ethernet services over a wide range of fiber facilities,” said Patrick Schaber, Director of Marketing at Transition Networks. “We continue to introduce new products and solutions that enable our customers to extend the reach and maximize the value of their Ethernet infrastructure.”
