VERSION 1.0
Product Description
The VIP-NET-M28A is professional grade layer 3 network switch that includes 1G and 10G connectivity,
dual redundant power supplies, and PTP (Precision Timing Protocol). With IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613
certifications, the VIP-NET-M28A is ruggedly designed for substation and rolling stock applications and is
an excellent fit in mission critical applications such as mobile command and mobile
broadcast/production. The VIP-NET-M28A 10G SFP modules can operate in up to 140F conditions, while
the remaining modules can operate in up to 185F conditions. In addition, with ethernet redundancy
protocols such as O-ring recovery under 30mS and MSTP, the VIP-NET-M28A is ideal for protecting
mission critical applications against interruptions or malfunctions.
Features
•PTP (Precision Timing Protocol)
•GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunneling protocol
•O-Ring (recovery time < 30ms over 250 units of connection) and MSTP(RSTP/STP compatible) for
Ethernet redundancy
•Open-Ring to interoperate with other vendors’ring technology in open architecture
•O-Chain to allow multiple redundant network rings
•IEEE 1588v2 clock synchronization
•IPV6 new internet protocol version
•Modbus TCP protocol
•priority-tagged frames to be received by specific IEDs
•IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet technology
•HTTPS/SSH protocols to enhance network security
•SMTP client
•IP-based bandwidth management
•application based QoS management
•Device Binding security function
•DOS/DDOS auto prevention
•IGMP v2/v3 (IGMP snooping support) to filter multicast traffic
•SNMP v1/v2c/v3 & RMON & 802.1Q VLAN network management
•ACL, TACACS+ and 802.1x user authentication for security
•10K Bytes Jumbo Frame
•multiple notifications for incidents
•management via Web-based interfaces, Telnet, Console (CLI), and Windows utility (Open-Vision)
•LLDP Protocol
•Redundant DC power inputs
•Compliant with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613
•Supports 3 x 10/100/1000Base-T(X) RJ-45 modules for up to 24 ports
•Supports 3 x 100/1000Base-X SFP modules for up to 24 ports
•Supports 1 x 10G SFP+ module for up to 4 ports
