High-Speed 10GbE Uplinks

The AirPro SG4500 Series combines full Gigabit Ethernet access connectivity with 4 or 6 SFP+ 10GbE uplink ports, providing the bandwidth required for modern enterprise, carrier, and metropolitan-area network deployments.

High-speed uplinks help remove aggregation bottlenecks, support growing east-west and north-south traffic demands, and provide a scalable foundation for future network expansion.

Layer 3 Forwarding

The SG4500 Series supports Layer 3 forwarding, enabling traffic to be routed efficiently between VLANs without requiring a separate external router for basic inter-VLAN communication.

This capability simplifies network segmentation, improves traffic efficiency, and helps maintain application performance across multiple departments, services, or user groups.

Virtual Switch Framework

Virtual Switch Framework (VSF) enables multiple compatible AirPro switches to operate as a single logical system. VSF consolidates management and forwarding information across member switches while increasing aggregate port density and system capacity.

By presenting multiple physical switches as one managed entity, VSF simplifies configuration, monitoring, and maintenance while improving deployment flexibility and network resiliency.

Comprehensive Access Security

The SG4500 Series provides multilayer security capabilities designed to protect users, devices, and network resources.

IEEE 802.1X port-based authentication enables identity-based access control through standards-based RADIUS servers, helping ensure that only authorized users and devices are granted network access.

Flexible Access Control Lists (ACLs) allow administrators to enforce traffic policies based on Layer 2, Layer 3, and Layer 4 information. User-defined ACLs provide additional policy flexibility for application control and access restriction.

DHCP, ARP, and MAC Protection

Integrated DHCP Snooping helps prevent rogue DHCP servers and DHCP-based attacks by distinguishing between trusted and untrusted interfaces.

DHCP Snooping bindings and Option 82 can be combined with IEEE 802.1X, ARP protection, and other access-control mechanisms to strengthen endpoint validation.

Additional Layer 2 security features—including ARP Guard, anti-ARP scanning, and MAC security controls—help protect the access network against address spoofing, unauthorized devices, and other common Layer 2 threats.

Resilient Uplink and Ring Protection

With 4 or 6 10GbE uplinks, the SG4500 Series supports flexible redundant uplink designs and resilient ring architectures.

Support for ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) enables rapid protection switching in Ethernet ring deployments. Under appropriate network conditions, G.8032 can provide recovery in less than 50 milliseconds, helping maintain service continuity following a link or node failure.

G.8032 Version 2 support enables deployment across a variety of ring topologies, including single-ring, interconnected-ring, and multi-ring designs.

Efficient Multicast Delivery

The SG4500 Series provides comprehensive multicast-control features designed to optimize bandwidth utilization and improve delivery efficiency.

IGMP Snooping restricts multicast traffic to ports with active multicast receivers, helping prevent unnecessary flooding across the network.

Support for Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR) enables multicast services to be shared across multiple subscriber VLANs while maintaining logical traffic separation. MVR trunk capabilities further simplify multicast transport across uplinks, improving resource utilization for IPTV, video distribution, and other multicast-based services.
