Magnum 6K32T Fiber Switches offer high performance along with one or two 

modular slot options to fulfill the choice of copper/Fiber, 10,100 or 1000Mb 

requirements.  The 6K32T also offers MNS-6K management software. Magnum 6K32T 

Switches are used in a variety of applications including Carrier-class (Telco) settings, 

client/server computing areas, secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental 

networks, and LAN traffic centers that require Gigabit backbone services. The 

performance characteristic of the 6K32T Switches enables them to inter-connect a series 

of subnets (one subnet per 6K32T Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet 

connections may be via fiber or twisted pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and 

full-or half-duplex mode.   

 

The mixed-media capability in the modular slot is ideal for upgrading existing 

Ethernet LAN networks where existing cabling must be accommodated.  The fiber-built-

in media capability provides future-proof fiber cabling for the LAN structure. 

Equipped with lots of advanced management features, the Magnum 6K32T 

Managed switch is able to handle a VLAN application and provide security and 

performance in an Ethernet network center. A secure VLAN-enabled network is simply 

an administratively-configured broadcast domain.  The network administrator determines 

which ports and nodes are in which broadcast domains by setting membership profiles 

for each of them. The Magnum 6K32T’s VLAN capability can be configured in two 

types of virtual LANs; Port-based VLANs and Tag-based VLANs. 

 

In an office environment where departments such as Finance, Engineering, 

R&D, and Marketing need to each keep a secure LAN, the 6K32T’s VLAN feature will 

prevent traffic cross-over among traffic domains and thus keep sensitive data and 

information controlled.  The Managed Magnum 6K32T equipped with VLAN capability 

is ideal for any application where a secure VLAN to multiple departments is needed. 

 

The modularity of the 6K32T Managed Switch makes it an attractive choice for 

use in applications with LAN connections to an organization’s multiple site offices. The 

different offices can be easily connected together with the Fiber ports supported by the 

Magnum 6K32T Switch. A main NT-server in a secure area protected from earthquake or
