  • Configuration of Security Ports on Core Switches

    Configuration of Security Ports on Core Switches

    In this lesson, you will learn how to configure port security to restrict the number of MAC addresses per port, specify which MAC addresses are allowed, and control what happens when violations occur. To understand port security, you should be familiar with how switches learn MAC. If you try to set the maximum value to a number less than the number of secure addresses already configured on an interface, the command is rejected. The maximum number of secure MAC addresses that you can configure on a switch is set by the maximum number of available MAC addresses allowed in the. In MAC-flooding, an attacker can connect a laptop into an empty Switch port or empty RJ45 wall socket, and he can use hacking tools to generate millions of Ethernet frames with fake source MAC addresses and send them to the switch interface. If you use this feature, the switch will allow only the authorized device to access the port. Create a practice lab on Packet Tracer. What is Port-Security? On Cisco Catalyst switches, port security is a per-interface feature that enforces a limit and a list of allowed MAC addresses. If a device connects and its MAC is allowed, all good.

  • SFP Optical Module Transmission Principle

    SFP Optical Module Transmission Principle

    SFP modules work as transceivers, converting serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. As a leading provider of optical communication solutions, Weunion integrates these. Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) optical transceivers are pivotal in enabling this connectivity, serving as the linchpin for data transmission in data centers, telecommunications networks, and enterprise infrastructures. In modern fiber optic networks, speed and stability depend on how efficiently data moves between devices. Choosing the wrong SFP optical module can result in link failure, instability.

  • SFP optical module emits light

    SFP optical module emits light

    Laser diodes (LDs) are the standard light-emitting components in most modern optical modules—including all Weunion SFP transceivers. These modules, including SFP, SFP+, and SFP28, are widely used in enterprise networks, data centers, and carrier-grade deployments. SFP modules work as transceivers, converting serial electrical signals to serial optical signals and vice versa. These optical signals are then passed through the fiber. SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) is a compact, hot-pluggable network interface module used to connect network devices (switches, routers, firewalls) to fiber optic or copper cables. This ensures consistent performance across temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C) and harsh network.

  • When do switches use fiber optic cables

    When do switches use fiber optic cables

    In technology and networking, “fiber optic switch” usually refers to either a Fibre Channel switch used in storage area networks, or an Ethernet switch with fiber optic ports used in standard LAN, WAN, enterprise and data center networks. A practical B2B. Traditionally, network switches have been connected using copper cables, but with the increasing demand for high-speed and reliable connectivity, fiber optic cables have gained prominence. Moreover, when it comes to bandwidth, no currently available technology is better than single-mode fiber. It can provide significantly higher bandwidth and carry more data. Other than entry level network switches, most of today's network switches include one or more GiBC (Gigabit Converter) or SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) slots. Fiber provides: Increased internet signal bandwidth.
