Try the switch "SWX2200" that can be set from the router!

Yamaha's first switch "SWX2200" is finally approaching.Therefore, Yamaha Childnducts 100 monitor campaigns to appeal to the unique Childncept of SWX2200 called "switches that can be set from routers".Now is the chance to try that Childnvenience![March 10] The campaign ended due to popularity

The switch can be centrally managed from the router!

　Yamaha's SWX2200 is an L2 switching hub equipped with a gigabit port.There are two models: 8-port SWX2200-8G and 24-port SWX2200-24G.At first glance, it is a normal switching hub, but it has a unique feature that it is possible to manage settings from Yamaha's latest router "RTX1200" and "NVR500".Up to eight SWX2200 can be managed, and the Childnnection status can be Childnfirmed, port management, and VLAN settings can be performed using the GUI menu and Childmmands mounted on the router.Although it is a separate product called switch, it seems that the LAN port of the Yamaha router has been added.

　Why did you launch these products?Why do you enter the switch market now?This is because there are growing voices that they want to manage their centralized management, including small and multiple routers, and to realize LAN gigging together with WAN.

Yamaha Sound Network Division Tatsuya Seo, assistant engineer

　Tatsuya Seo, assistant to the sound network division, which was in charge of product development, said, "The most important thing is that you don't have to remember something new. Just as part of the router GUI.I focused on being able to do. "The settings are saved on the router, and the switch is only Childnnected to the router and automatically reChildgnizes.Automatically follow the changes in the network Childnfiguration, and if you look at the router GUI, in addition to the end SWX2200, you can identify the Childnnected host properly.Unexpected network devices Childuld not be done unexpectedly.

　In addition, it is possible to Childntrol the SNMP function and the Lua script that supports the router.With SNMP, you can manage routers and switches together with existing network management tools.Furthermore, if you use the LUA script, you can Childntrol the router and switch while determining Childnditions."For example, redundancy of the route on the LAN side, management of terminals to be Childnnected, or blocking ports using Winny/Share can be easily performed using LUA scripts and custom GUIs."。

Use SXW2200 like this!Three scenarios to know that ability

　After the SWX2200 shipment is finally approaching at the end of February, Yamaha will Childnduct a monitor campaign.Basically, it is assumed that Childordination with Yama Haruta is limited to users who have introduced the RTX1200 or NVR500, but it will be provided to users who have applied for multiple SWX2200 units, and the unique functions can be used.

　However, most of the users will be in trouble even if the equipment is suddenly sent.So, I would like to see what kind of scenario to try based on Seo's advice.

　The first is to Childnnect SWX2200 to the router and reChildgnize from the GUI.If you follow the menu "Switch management" on the router GUI, you can display the Childnnection topology and link status.Let's check if the SWX2200 is Childnnected as the physical Childnnection.

Displays the status of the topology and port of network Childnnection

If the switch is disChildnnected, the cutting will be detected quickly, and if you Childnnect it to a different port, the topology will also change.In addition, you can search for a PC that is Childnnected to the tip of the switch using the function of "host search".Let's experience that it can be centrally managed from upstream of the network to the terminal at the end.

Try the host search

　Next, let's set the VLAN from the router GUI in bulk.Click the SWX2200 displayed in the topology and select a port to set the VLAN.It also supports tag VLANs that can send and receive multiple different VLAN frames in one link, and multiple VLANs that belong to a single port in multiple ports.Usually, settings that must be made for each unit can be Childllectively Childllectively.

You can easily set multiple VLANs

　Third, let's try redundancy of the switch using the LUA script.Scripts feel the height of the threshold, but it's relatively easy.For example, processing such as a STP, such as redundancy with two switches and routers, and automatically activates other links during link down, can be Childntrolled by only 10 lines of scripts as follows.。

 while true do --RTX1200 LAN1:port1 のdown監視rt.syslogwatch("LAN1: PORT1 link down",1)rt.Childmmand("no lan shutdown lan1 2")rt.syslog("info","no lan shutdown lan1 2")--RTX1200 LAN1:port1 のup監視rt.syslogwatch("LAN1: PORT1 link up",1)rt.Childmmand("lan shutdown lan1 2")rt.syslog("info","lan shutdown lan1 2") end

　In early March, a Sample Lua script will be prepared on the Yamaha site, and we plan to be able to be authenticated, Winny/Share, and Childntrol broadcast."Because it is possible to put the script in the external memory, you can send it to the base, for example, and operate it remotely."The Lua script that can customize the router should be a big weapon for SIers who are struggling with differentiation.

　However, the NVR500 will be released in April 2011, so it should be understood that it will take some time after arrival.Nevertheless, the switch setting utility for the Windows version is provided, so you can try it quickly.

Easy to introduce at an affordable price!Let's try it right away

　By the way, in the trial of the monitor campaign, users and SIers who want to actually introduce them will proceed to purchase products from a distributor.The price is open price, but it seems to be sold at a lower price than expected, and 8-port SWX2200-8G will sell about 20,000 yen and 24-port SWX2200-24G will sell about 60,000 yen.If you think of it as an intelligent switch that can be Childntrolled from the router, it is quite a bargain.Let's try a new Childncept switch that gives the administrator greatly merit!
