Advanced Layer 2 management functions: Auto Feed, NAT, and Restful API

 

OVERVIEW

Lantech OS2 PRO management features provides L2 management, NAT and advanced security functions for onboard network deployment. WebGUI, and complete CLI settings make configuration easy. The Restful API can greatly improve central management efficiency for various applications including fleet management and AIOT. The advanced cybersecurity mechanism can prevent hackers from hacking or attacking.

ITXPT label* for delay shut down, inventory service, standby green mode
Lantech OS2 PRO switch supports Module inventory, Time service and MQTT broker. When the engine of the vehicle turns off, the switch is able to extend the work from 30sec to 60mins. The switch must be able to provide SRV and TXT records to back office and exports the data in xml file format. The consumption power under sleep mode meets the standard of ITxPT. (-IGN model)

Auto feed configuration for swapped new switches for Seamless Network Maintenance*
Lantech OS2 PRO switch supports auto-feed configuration features* that revolutionize network switch setup and management. It ensures that new and replacement switches automatically receive the correct configuration without manual intervention.

MQTT – Publisher & Broker
MQTT is a publish-subscribe-based messaging protocol and works on top of the 80CP/IP protocol. An MQTT system comprises one broker and several clients, where clients can either be publishers or subscribers. The publishers send data to the broker in the form of MQTT packets, which consist of a “topic” and “payload”, then the broker distributes the “payload” to the subscribers based on which “topics” they have subscribed.

NAT/PAT & Firewall supported
The switch supports Static IP address, PPPoE (V4&V6), DHCP client, NAT, PAT, OSPF and RIP routing functions, including static route, dynamic route as well as basic firewall functions with Port forwarding, DMZ, Filtering, Remote admin and DDoS protection.

mDNS (Multicast DNS) feature
mDNS (Multicast DNS) enables hosts in the LAN to discover and communicate with each other in compliance with the DNS protocol without a traditional DNS server.

Support OPEN API document format for Restful API for better switch performance
Lantech OS2 PRO switch supports OPEN API document format for Restful API hat uses JSON format to access and use data for GET, PUT, POST and DELETE types to avoid traditional SNMP management occupying CPU utilization.

Ignition PoE timer function on IGN model
Lantech OS2 PRO switch (IGN model) has a programmed timer by port to shut down each PoE port, with variants from 30 seconds to 60 minutes, eliminating the additional relay wire to shut down PoE ports and allowing for remote configuration to change the PoE timer time anytime, anywhere.

Certified cybersecurity development process with IEC 62443-4-1, and IEC 62443-4-2** compliance with physical tamper resistance and detection for integrity and authenticity of the boot process
Lantech OS2 PRO platform is designed with a high standard of cybersecurity to prevent threats from network attacks. To ensure the safety and reliability of communication networks, Lantech software development is certified with IEC 62443-4-1 security process standards and the switch is also compliant to IEC 62443-4-2**. The switch uses roots of trust to verify the integrity and authenticity of the firmware, software, and configuration data needed for the switch’s boot process.

802.1X security by MAC address
MAC-based port authentication is an alternative approach to 802.1x for authenticating hosts connected to a port. By authenticating based on the host’s source MAC address, the host is not required to run a user for the 802.1x protocol. The RADIUS server that performs the authentication will inform the switch if this MAC can be registered in the MAC address table of the switch.

RADIUS and TACACS+
Lantech OS2 PRO switch supports RADIUS and TACACS+ to handle authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services for network access control.

Enhanced G.8032 ring, 8 MSTI MSTP
Lantech OS2 PRO switch features enhanced G.8032 ring which can be self-healed in less than 20ms for single ring topology protection covering multicast packets. It also supports various ring topologies that covers enhanced ring and basic ring by easy setup than others. It supports MSTP that allows each spanning tree for each VLAN for redundant links with 8 MSTI.

DHCP option 82 & Port based, Mac based DHCP, Option66, DHCP Snooping
DHCP server can assign dedicated IP address by MAC or by port (Port based for single switch), it also can assign IP address by port for multiple switches with single DHCP option82 server. DHCP Snooping is supported. DHCP Option66 server can offer IP address of TFTP server to DHCP client for VOIP application.

IGMPv3, MLD snooping, query, GMRP, static multicast forwarding and multicast Ring protection
The unique multicast protection under enhanced G.8032 ring can offer immediate self-recovery instead of waiting for IGMP table timeout. It also supports IGMP v3 with Query mode for multimedia, GMRP, router port, MLD snooping and static multicast forwarding binding by ports for video surveillance applications.

Support RTC (Real Time Clock) with longevity Golden Capacitor; CPU watchdog
Our switch supports RTC which is powered by a golden capacitor, ensuring accurate real-time event logs. The built-in watchdog design can automatically reboot the switch when CPU is found dead.

User-friendly GUI, Editable configuration text file, Auto topology drawing, Enhanced Environmental Monitoring
The user-friendly UI, innovative auto topology drawing and topology demo makes Lantech OS2 PRO switch much easier to get hands-on. The complete CLI enables professional engineer to configure setting by command line. The configuration file of Lantech OS2 PRO switch can be exported in text file so that it can be edited and configured back to switch with ease for mass deployment. It supports enhanced environmental monitoring for actual input voltage, current, ambient temperature and total power load.
