Network Management Solution of Industrial Switch

The managed industrial switch allows users to log in to the switch to adjust the setting parameters, so as to manage, configure and monitor the network in various ways. They also provide better control over how data is transmitted and who can access it. Network managed industrial switches usually provide SNMP protocol (simple network management protocol), enabling users to enable monitoring of the ethernet switch and the status of each port, as well as providing traffic throughput, network error information, port status and other statistical information.

The managed industrial switch is applicable to rail transit, expressway, utility tunnel, electric power and new energy, smart city, smart scenic spot, smart park, smart factory, petrochemical industry, intelligent transportation (traffic light), railway, airport, coal, water conservancy, metallurgy, telecommunications, public security, medical, education, finance, civil aviation and other industries, and applied to security monitoring in the harsh environment field, network communication and other systems provide fast, stable and reliable communication connection.

The managed industrial switch supporting multiple network control modes can realize multiple network control modes, such as flow control, priority, VLAN and ACL. In the case of a large number of users, it is undoubtedly a good choice to use the managed switch. Under the same conditions, the data throughput is stronger to prevent data congestion and improve the network speed. Generally, the managed industrial switch has a very strong defense capability, which can effectively prevent and resist various malicious attacks and intrusions, and ensure the information security of users.

Demand for network management of industrial switch

Because the market demand for industrial switches is very large, coupled with the ease of expansion and flexible application, they need to be managed through network management software, and can also be remotely accessed through their own access control. For industrial switch equipment providers, they need to face the following two factors:

The need for a complete solution: For industrial switch equipment manufacturers, with the help of network management software, a complete product solution can be formed to directly enhance the image and scope of application of the product. At the same time, it can also cut into the peripheral products and integration fields through network management software, and occupy a favorable position in the user's subsequent upgrading and transformation activities.

The needs of end customers: The manageability of network and industrial switch equipment has been paid attention to by more and more end users. In equipment procurement, it is even a necessary condition in most cases.

Current network management solutions of industrial switch equipment providers

For most industrial switch equipment manufacturers or providers, the usual solution is to cultivate a network management software development team and develop it by themselves. Generally, it requires at least several to dozens of people, and the development lasts for several years. The cost is usually hundreds of thousands to millions, and it also bears the risk of time to market and technology.

Outsourcing third-party network management software: Most of the network management software on the market is difficult to provide customized functions, and the equipment manufacturer does not have any intellectual property rights of the network management software, which is unfavorable for long-term development.

Introduction to our NIS network management platform

The NIS network management software of Houshi Network is an equipment management software developed for industrial network equipment. It can realize the unified configuration of all the equipment that supports management. The equipment information can be viewed, and the equipment can be configured, upgraded and managed in a unified way. The visual management equipment and topology are consistent with the network. It locates the fault alarm information, intelligently operates and maintains, automatically distributes the configuration, intelligently analyzes the fault, gives early warning in advance, and provides the overall network system solution in coordination with the network equipment. Combining the characteristics of industrial switch network and equipment, the NIS network management software integrates special functions such as automatic discovery of industrial ring network, identification of backup links, identification of blocking points, backup of equipment configuration files, and upgrade of equipment software on the basis of the functions of general network management software to meet the requirements of industrial switch equipment manufacturers for equipment network management.
