LANCOM XS-5110F

The LANCOM XS-5110F is an ideal aggregation instance for the networking of access switches. Depending on the size of the installation, it integrates into the network topology either at the top level facing the WAN (2-tier design) or at the second level between a core switch and the access switches (3-tier design).

With its fiber-optics and multi-Gigabit Ethernet (mGbE) ports, the LANCOM XS-5110F offers future-proof port performance for networks that meet the increasing demands occuring from increasingly powerful clients, a growing number of IoT devices, and cloud applications. Equipped with 8 SFP+ ports (10G) and 2 further backward-compatible 10G mGbE ports, this powerful networking device is used to connect access switches and is ideal for smaller distributed networks.

Stacking makes child’s play of expanding your network, as several physical switches combine into a single logical unit for convenient maintenance and management. When you expand your network, the new switch automatically receives a configuration from the stack master and is ready to use within seconds. Furthermore, device or network redundancies can be implemented with stacking to ensure maximum reliability. The LANCOM XS-5110F allows 2 of the downlink ports to be specified as stacking ports to handle this task. In addition, LANCOM also offers the option of mixed stacks with the GS-45xx series. The following matrix shows the different combinations.

The LANCOM XS-5110F is capable of performing layer 3 tasks such as DHCP server functionality, i.e. IP address management, or the predefinition of network routes across one or more network segments. Thanks to dynamic routing, the switch can also react quickly to network changes. The optimal route for data traffic within the network is thus constantly redefined by the LANCOM XS-5110F based on the load level. This results in a load reduction on the router, so that these capacities are then additionally available for handling external data traffic and increase the efficiency of the entire network.

The LANCOM XS-5110F stops rogue clients from gaining unauthorized access to the network. This is ensured by secured access control on all ports as per IEEE 802.1X (port-based, single, multi, and MAC-based) or by ACLs (access control lists).

Secure communication protocols such as SSH, SSL and SNMPv3 mean that the LANCOM XS-5110F is ideal for the professional management of remote networks. The switch also supports the TACACS+ protocol for authentication, authorization and accounting. This optimized solution promises maximum security for multi-site network management and monitoring.

With the LANCOM Management Cloud, the XS-5110F offers quick and easy network integration as well as automatic provision of the configuration across locations with the a click of a mouse. Cloud-managed LAN replaces the configuration of individual devices and enables automatic assignment of VLANs to switch ports. Cloud-managed switch stacking also enables convenient management and monitoring of the entire stack.

This function provides access to the command line of the LANCOM switch ("CLI tunneling") or its web GUI ("GUI Tunneling") directly from the LANCOM Management Cloud—encrypted and without leaving the cloud interface. Be it trace or ping commands for rapid troubleshooting, access to low-level configuration parameters and detailed statistics in the LCOS SX operating system, or secure remote access to third-party devices in the local network via the integrated SSH client—Secure Terminal Access offers expert functions and extensive diagnostic and troubleshooting commands on your devices.

As a holder of the "IT Security made in Germany" trust mark, LANCOM is committed to keeping its products free of secret backdoors. This makes the LANCOM switches ideal for operation in sensitive environments and always in accordance with General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
