Smart Factory Layer-3 Backbone and Zone Interconnect
Factory L3 cores interconnect shops, warehouse, QA, and office with 10G to MES/WH and upper DCs.
1. Scenario
Smart factories isolate OT/IT under one IP plan and peer with MES/WMS/group cloud. TSN/precise sync appear in industry roadmaps; this design delivers shippable LGS2000 L3 zoning and aggregation now.
2. Challenges
Zone compliance; east-west visibility; core redundancy and change windows.
3. Architecture
PH-4M32P-M core; shop/WH 24GE aggregation; multi-SFP line rings; 10G to server farms.
4. Recommended Leagrid LGS2000 products
- LGS2000-PH-4M32P-M: Layer-3 industrial core: 4×10G + 8 Combo + 8 GE fiber + 16 GE copper, 19″ 1U—campus/backbone routing.
- LGS2000-24GE4GF-M: Managed rack aggregation: 24×GE copper + 4×GE SFP for station/central-room aggregation.
- LGS2000-8GE4GF-M: Managed Gigabit switch: 8×GE copper + 4×GE SFP for multi-direction fiber rings and multi-camera uplinks.
5. Deployment notes
Policy OT↔IT; dual core links; confirm multicast/QoS with MES vendors; reserve evaluation hooks for future sync.
