/ Die Welt der Managed Switches: TSW202 & TSW212 

Our managed switches operate primarily at Layer 2 but incorporate some Layer 3 functionalities. This classification is often referred to as 'Layer 2+' or 'Layer 2.5'. Layer 3 features, any that are supported are clearly listed on the product datasheet and web pages.

The primary distinction between the TSW202 and TSW212 devices is that TSW202 supports PoE+, whereas TSW212 does not. This functionality also affects the product's price, resulting in TSW202 being slightly more expensive due to its PoE+ capability.

Yes, you can enable or disable individual ports to suit the specific needs of your application on both TSW202 and TSW212. For greater efficiency, you can manage this feature using RMS Multiconfig tool.

Yes, the LLDP protocol is supported on both TSW202 and TSW212 devices.

If you are referring to protocols, both TSW2XX products support Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), as well as the RSTP and STP protocols.

We recommend visiting our Wiki page for detailed examples of SNMP configurations:

You can configure our managed switches to use Quality of Service (QoS) settings to prioritise PROFINET traffic over the standard TCP/IP traffic. Likewise, switches that manage Ethernet/IP can be configured to have higher priority over traffic to support the requirements of real-time control and communication.

TSW202 and TSW212 provide support for both diagnostic and configuration capabilities over EtherNet/IP. For configuration purposes, users can set and manage a range of network parameters. In terms of diagnostics, devices can conduct port diagnostics as well as status and network parameters. If you want more detailed information on the configuration and diagnostics capabilities of the switches, contact us.

This feature has successfully passed internal testing and has been integrated into the TSWOS 1.1 firmware release. It provides an additional layer of LAN port security using Radius authentication. We encourage you to test this feature and share your feedback.

Yes, you can access different devices using RMS Connect as long as they support protocols such as HTTP(S), SSH, Telnet, VNC, RDP, and SFTP. If your devices are compatible with any of these protocols, you can directly access them through RMS Connect. For a more detailed description of the configuration, we would require more specific information about your setup.

No, MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) is currently not supported. 

We are always open to considering the integration of new features in response to customer demand.

Managed switches are versatile devices that can be utilised in enterprise sectors to manage IT infrastructure, including data centre and access point infrastructures. They enable you to create separate VLANs to segment network traffic. This segmentation enhances network security and reduces congestion, which is particularly useful for maintaining distinct networks across different departments. It's important to note that these examples only scratch the surface of the capabilities of managed switches, as their adaptability to the specific needs of varying industries makes them a popular choice for many organisations.
