The PLANET WGSW-48040 is a High-Density, Rack-mountable, L2/L4 Full 

Managed Gigabit Switch. Since Gigabit network interface had become the 

basic equipment and requirement of Enterprise and Network Servers, with 

96Gbps switching fabric, the WGSW-48040 can handle extremely large 

amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high 

capacity servers. The powerful QoS and Network Security features make 

WGSW-48040 to meets the needs of effective data traffic control for both 

ISP and Enterprise, such VoIP, video streaming and multicast application.

The PLANET WGSW-48040 provides 48 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit 

Ethernet ports with 4 shared Gigabit SFP slots. It boasts a high 

performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking 

switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 96Gbps, which greatly 

simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increase 

bandwidth demands.

The WGSW-48040 can be programmed for basic switch management 

functions such as Port speed configuration, Port aggregation, VLAN, 

Spanning Tree protocol, QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping. 

The WGSW-48040 provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN. The VLAN groups 

allowed on the WGSW-48040 will be maximally up to 255 .Via supporting 

port Link Aggregation, the WGSW-48040 allows the operation of a 

high-speed trunk combining multiple ports, up to eight groups of 

maximum 8-ports for trunking, and it supports fail-over as well. 

PLANET WGSW-48040 is loaded with powerful traffic management and 

QoS features to enhance services offered by telecoms. The functionality 

includes QoS features such as wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and 

bandwidth limiting that are particular useful for multi-tenant unit, multi 

business unit, Telco, or Network Service Provide applications. It also 

empowers the enterprises to take full advantages of the limited network 

resources and guarantees the best performance at VoIP and Video 

conferencing transmission. 

For efficient management, the WGSW-48040 Managed Ethernet Switch is 

equipped with console, WEB and SNMP management interfaces. With its 

built-in Web-based management, the PLANET WGSW-48040 offers an 

easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. 

The PLANET WGSW-48040 supports standard Simple Network 

Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any 

standard-based management software. For text-based management, 

WGSW-48040 can also be accessed via Telnet and the console port. For 

secure remote management, the WGSW-48040 supports SSL and SSH 

connection which encrypts the packet content at each session.

PLANET WGSW-48040 offers comprehensive Access Control List (ACL) for 

enforcing security to the edge. Its protection mechanisms comprise 

port-based 802.1x user and device authentication. The port-security is 

effective in limit the numbers of clients pass through, so that network 

administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with 

time and effort considerably less than before. 

The four mini-GBIC slots are compatible with 1000Base-SX/LX and WDM 

SFP (Small Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules. The distance can be 

extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/50/70/120 

kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for using 

within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
