Moxa, represented by CrispTech in Australia, have introduced Moxa EDS series Layer 2 industrial managed Ethernet switches, now conform to IPv6, Internet protocol version 6. IPv6 is the next-generation Internet protocol that was created in response to the exhaustion of IPv4 addresses, and provides 128-bit addresses to support essentially unlimited expansion of network traffic.
Moxa is the first industrial Ethernet switch provider to offer the most IPv6-ready solutions for industrial automation and control applications. Moxa's EDS series of industrial managed Ethernet switches have officially passed the IPv6 ready logo program and can be trusted for use on existing IPv4, IPv6, or mixed IPv4 and IPv6 industrial network environments.
By complying with the IPv6 mandatory core protocols, Moxa's industrial managed Ethernet switches offer real-time operation and control of IPv6 activity, including automatic IP address configuration and QoS functionality.
Moxa's industrial managed Ethernet switches follow a dual stack transition structure that is ideal for both IPv4 and IPv6 network applications. Moxa's switches can automatically allocate an IPv6 IP address and offer improved traffic prioritisation of QoS through IPv6's built-in packet tags to promise maximum security and efficient performance of networks.
Following are the features of EDS Series Layer 2 industrial managed Ethernet switches:
- IPv6 ready logo awarded (IPv6 Logo Committee certified)
- Turbo Ring (recovery time <20ms at full load) and RSTP/STP (IEEE 802.1w/D)
- QoS, IGMP Snooping/GMRP, VLAN, LACP, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, and RMON supported
- IEEE 802.1X, HTTPS, and SSH enhance network security
- User-friendly web-based configuration and management
