Industrial Ethernet Switches Function Customization

Industrial Ethernet switches can be customized for different application scenarios. Common function customization includes the following aspects:

1. Switching capability and port configuration: Industrial Ethernet switches can provide different switching capabilities and port configurations according to needs. Switching capability refers to the data throughput that a Ethernet switch can handle, and can choose a switching capability that is suitable for the current network size and load requirements. Port configuration includes the number and type of Ethernet ports, supporting port selection for different speeds (such as Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet) and media types (such as fiber optic and copper). In addition, it also includes the following aspects:

Port isolation: Isolated ports cannot communicate with each other, improving network security.

Port aggregation: If more than one port is interconnected between devices, it is necessary to set up port aggregation to increase bandwidth and provide link redundancy to improve network availability. (Note: Two interconnected devices need to be configured on a peer-to-peer basis)

Port mirroring: Mirrors all input/output packets from the mirror source port to the mirror destination port. Supports one-to-one mirroring (1 mirror source port, 1 mirror destination port) and one-to-many mirroring (multiple mirror source ports, 1 mirror destination port).

Port flow control: Port flow control is a network wide strategy that requires the entire network to be enabled. When network congestion occurs, the flow control frame is used to hop back pressure to the source port of the message flow, so that the entire network does not experience packet loss. This function needs to be activated with caution.

2. Network security function: Industrial Ethernet switches can provide different network security functions for customization to meet the security requirements of specific application scenarios. For example, support VLAN division, and isolate and segment different devices; Support ACL (Access Control List) to restrict access to specific IP addresses or ports; Support data encryption and security protocols, etc.

3. Network management function: Industrial Ethernet switches can provide rich network management functions, and support remote configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting. Customization of functions can include support for SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and other management protocols, with remote management and monitoring capabilities. At the same time, it can also support a centralized management platform, facilitating centralized management and monitoring of multiple Ethernet switches.

4. Anti interference and environmental adaptability: Industrial Ethernet switches can be customized for anti-interference and environmental adaptability to adapt to harsh industrial environment. For example, supporting industrial grade dustproof, waterproof, and seismic design; Capable of working in a wide temperature range, supporting normal operation in high or low temperature environments; Anti electromagnetic interference, Electromagnetic compatibility, etc.

5. Protocol support and application customization: Industrial Ethernet switches can support different network protocols and application customization. For example, supporting IGMP Snooping for optimized transmission of multicast data; Support RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) or MSTP (Multi instance Spanning Tree Protocol) for redundancy and rapid convergence of network topology.

It should be noted that Industrial Ethernet switches from different manufacturers may provide different customized functions. The specific function customization should be evaluated and selected according to the actual needs of users and the technical specifications of the switch products.
