WebStaX Software Product Specification
Product Overview
The WebStaX turnkey software package is a fully managed L2 switch application for the small and medium-sized
enterprise (SME). This software package can be customized to support different port configurations. It is built on
Linux to ensure cost optimization without compromising efficiency. WebStaX supports the following major capabilities.
• RedBoot bootloader
• U-boot bootloader
• Web or XMODEM update
Management is done using a web graphical user interface (GUI), command line interface (CLI), JavaScript Object
Notation-Remote Procedure Call (JSON-RPC), or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) running on the
internal MIPS24Kec CPU. WebStaX is highly integrated with switch features such as QoS control lists (QCLs),
access control lists (ACLs), and super priority management queue.
This document provides an overview of the switch and software features of the WebStaX software and lays the basis
for further specifications. The supported configuration details including parameters and limitations are beyond the
scope of this document. The module specific requirement specifications and configuration guides may be referred to
for obtaining these details.
Supported Switch Platforms
This software is supported on a series of Microchip switches with 12, 26, or 57 ports with Power over Ethernet (PoE)/
