Build high-availability industrial networks with Hardened Managed Ethernet Switches. EtherWAN hardened L2/L3 switches provide VLAN, QoS, and IGMP for deterministic traffic control; ERPS/α-Ring and MSTP/RSTP for fast recovery; a rugged -40–75 °C design with redundant power; and optional PoE to power field devices—managed via Web/CLI/SNMP or central NMS.
Why Managed?
- Better control & uptime: Segment/prioritize traffic and contain broadcast/multicast for stable operations.
- Rapid recovery on rings/trees: Sub-second failover improves service continuity.
- Operate at scale: Central management, logging, and policy simplify the OT lifecycle.
FAQs (Selected)
- What is the difference between Layer 2 and Layer 3 managed switches?
- How do I choose a root switch in STP/RSTP?
- Why does α-Ring report a topology change?
