All-100 Gigabit Layer 3 network management switches

TL-NS680-24T2Q is a newly developed box-type 10 Gigabit stacked Layer 3 network management switch developed by TP-LINK, which adopts a new generation of high-performance hardware and software platform, provides 10G access and 40G uplink ports, supports stacking, multiple Layer 3 routing protocols, rich business functions, and perfect security protection mechanisms, and is easy to manage and maintain.

• 24 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports and 2 40G QSFP+ uplink ports
• Two hot-swappable power modules TL-PSM100-AC are included as standard
• It supports TP-LINK commercial cloud platform management
• Supports BGP, OSPF, RIP dynamic routes, and static routes
• Stacking support, up to 8 stacking units
• DHCP server, DHCP relay, and DHCP snooping are supported
• Supports quaternary binding, ARP/IP/DoS protection, VLAN, QoS, ACL, and IPv6

10G access, 40G uplink

• The TL-NS680-24T2Q provides 24 x 10Gbps SFP+ optical ports and two 40Gbps QSFP+ optical ports.
• All ports are capable of wire-speed forwarding.

Strong business processing capabilities

• Supports BGP, OSPF, RIP dynamic routing protocols, and static routing protocols to solve the routing and routing problems after complex networks are divided into subnets.
• Host route entries up to 16K.
• DHCP Server and DHCP Relay are supported, and IP addresses are assigned to hosts in the network.
• Proxy ARP is supported, so that hosts in different physical networks on the same network segment can communicate normally.
• IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, MAC VLAN, protocol VLAN, and private VLAN are supported, allowing users to flexibly divide VLANs according to different requirements.
• GVRP is supported to implement dynamic distribution, registration, and attribute propagation of VLANs, reducing the amount of manual configuration and ensuring the correctness of configuration.
• The VLAN VPN function encapsulates the outer VLAN tag for the user's private network packets at the public network access end, so that the packets carry two layers of VLAN tags across the public network.
• It supports QoS, three priority modes based on port, 802.1P-based and DSCP-based, and four queue scheduling algorithms of Equ, SP, WRR, and SP+WRR.
• ACLs are supported to filter packets by configuring matching rules, processing operations, and time permissions, providing flexible security access control policies.
• It supports IGMP V1/V2 multicast protocols, MLD snooping, and IGMP snooping to meet the requirements of multi-terminal HD video surveillance and video conferencing access.

Complete security protection mechanism

• Supports IP address, MAC address, VLAN, and port quaternary binding to filter data packets.
• Supports ARP protection against ARP spoofing and ARP flood attacks, such as gateway spoofing and man-in-the-middle attacks, which are common in LANs.
• IP source protection is supported to prevent illegal address spoofing, including MAC address spoofing, IP spoofing, and MAC/IP spoofing.
• DoS protection is supported, and attacks such as Land Attack, Scan SYNFIN, Xmascan, and Ping Flooding are supported.
• It supports 802.1X authentication, provides authentication functions for LAN computers, and controls the authorization status of controlled ports according to the authentication results.
• Port security is supported, which stops learning when the number of MAC addresses learned on a port reaches the maximum number to prevent MAC address attacks and control port network traffic.
• Support DHCP Snooping, effectively eliminate private DHCP servers, and ensure the legitimacy of DHCP servers.

Versatile reliability protection

• Stacking is supported, and the stacked system is virtualized into a "distributed device", which can simplify management and improve system reliability.
• Supports STP/RSTP/MSTP production tree protocols to eliminate Layer 2 loops and implement link backup.
• Spanning tree security functions are supported to prevent devices in a spanning tree network from various forms of malicious attacks.
• Static aggregation and dynamic aggregation are supported, effectively increasing link bandwidth, implementing load balancing, link backup, and improving link reliability.
• It supports 1+1 redundant backup of two hot-swappable power modules to ensure that the equipment works stably without power for a long time.

Easy operation and maintenance

• It supports multiple management and maintenance methods, such as TP-LINK cloud platform management, web management, CLI command line (Console, Telnet), and SNMP (V1/V2/V3).
• Supports HTTPS, SSL V3, TLSV1, SSHV1/V2 and other encryption methods for safer management.
• RMON, system logs, and port traffic statistics are supported, which is convenient for network optimization and transformation.
• Supports cable detection, ping detection, and Tracert detection operations to easily analyze faulty network nodes.
• It supports LLDP, which is convenient for the network management system to query and judge the communication status of the link.
• CPU monitoring, memory monitoring, ping detection, Tracert detection, and cable detection are supported.
