Advantages and Precautions of Managed Industrial Switch

The managed switch literally means that it can be managed by network. There are three management methods, including serial port management, Web management, and network management software management; Its data will be configured through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is currently the most widely used network management protocol based on TCP/IP networks. It can filter the address, port, protocol type, service, etc. of data, and usually has the VLAN division function.

The task of a managed switch is to keep all network resources in good condition. Managed switch products provide a variety of network management methods, such as terminal control interface (Console) based, Web page based, and Telnet remote login. Therefore, the network administrator can monitor the working status of the switch and the network operating status locally or remotely in real time, and manage the working status and working mode of all switching ports globally.

Advantages of managed Industrial Switch:

1. The managed industrial switch has large data throughput, small packet loss rate and low latency. The backplane has large bandwidth and faster data forwarding.

2. The network of the managed industrial switch is flexible, and the access layer of large and medium-sized networks is applied.

3. The ports provided are flexible, and different interface forms such as SFP, GE, fast Ethernet port, Ethernet port, etc. are selected according to the network application. It is easy to expand, flexible to apply, and can be managed through network management software, or remotely accessed through its own access control.

4. The managed industrial switch supports the division of vlan. Users can divide the area for different applications to effectively control and manage the network. Progress in controlling broadcast storms.

5. The data information flow can be controlled based on the source, destination and network segment.

6. Link aggregation enables industrial switches, as well as industrial switches and servers, to be bound together through multiple Ethernet ports to achieve load balancing.

7. With ARP protection function, it can improve and reduce ARP spoofing in the network.

8. It has good security performance: industrial switches can filter MAC addresses, lock MAC addresses, and build static MAC forwarding tables.

9. The port mirroring function can copy the traffic and status of one port to another port of the switch for monitoring.

10. The access control list can control IP packets, such as limiting its traffic, access, and providing QoS.

11. With SNMP function, it can manage and control the network well.

In many industrial fields, managed industrial switches are playing an important role. Relying on its technology to help the factory improve the efficiency in the industrial production process, it has also been favored by more and more factories. The new managed industrial switch has been further optimized in terms of performance. So, what are the precautions for using managed industrial switches?

First, do a good job in daily data maintenance and solve the problem of equipment dispersion

In the daily operation of the industrial switch, an all-round management and maintenance system should be built, and the system should integrate payment, arrears, business maintenance and centralized management with different SPC switch user levels. Only in this way can we avoid the huge amount of time and energy consumed by data modification and maintenance, and conduct comprehensive processing of huge data. The centralized decentralized data can not only improve the communication service quality, but also check all kinds of information with the help of the centralized management system after the completion of the management and maintenance of the SPC switch, so as to solve the problems existing in the previous information check.

2. Centralized management and maintenance through private network

In the centralized management of network managed industrial switch, advanced technology shall be introduced. With the help of computer technology, the centralized management software of SPC switch shall be installed inside the computer, and the switch shall be used as the simulation terminal to continuously improve the centralized management and maintenance editing. At the same time, in the maintenance work, it is necessary to use different equipment to improve its management and maintenance efficiency. Do a good job of expansion to increase the number of ports so that more SPC switches can be connected together. After the connection is completed, different terminals can be combined with the help of a modem to increase the number of serial ports and do a good job in computer maintenance.

3. Focus on improving the technical content of products

In the connection process of different SPC switches, it is necessary to improve the relevant software and use the different functions of the software as the server terminal part, which can be used in different systems. Many managers can log in to different systems and repair the failed SPC switches, so as to improve the maintenance level of the SPC switches.

As the basic equipment in the factory, the managed industrial switch plays an increasingly important role in industrial production. It is precisely this that makes this product favored by many enterprises, and its competition is increasingly fierce. In this case, the manufacturer must constantly optimize the performance of the managed industrial switch to take the lead in the market.
