Routing Protocol Differences
Ordinary routers generally support static routing protocols, which are preset by the network administrator according to the network configuration during system installation. After the network structure changes, the network administrator manually modifies the routing table; enterprise-level routers support dynamic routing protocols. When the network operation changes,Power module the router automatically calculates the best path for data transmission according to the functions provided by the routing protocol, and obtains a dynamic routing table.
At the same time, enterprise-level routers generally have multiple security services and richer routing protocols, such as SNMP, static routers, policy routers, and unified management protocols. Through these protocols, industrial routers can ensure network security.
security difference
Ordinary routers generally do not support functions such as internal and external attack defense, anti-virus Trojan horses, hackers, etc., because they support fewer protocols and security is not guaranteed; enterprise-level routers have more routing protocols, such as SNMP, policies, and unified management protocols. It can ensure the safe operation of the network and ensure that user information is not stolen.
runtime difference
The high stability requirements of 4G industrial routers are difficult to achieve for home routers. They need to work 24 hours a day, convert ethernet to wifi all year round. When the network fails, you can switch the backup link or reboot the device to allow the network to recover itself. However, when using a router in an industrial enterprise environment, due to work needs, the router even needs to run for 24 hours, which is not conducive to the stability of the device. Sex brings higher demands.
difference in work environment
The requirements for industrial routers in industrial environments are actually requirements for electronic components. The operating temperature range of general industrial routers is usually between -40°C and 75°C, while the operating temperature range of general household routers is -10°C to 60°C, which mainly meets the needs of room temperature environments, so it cannot be used in harsh environments. environment for industrial control. In winter, even the average outdoor common area is not enough.
Industrial-grade wireless routers are used in the field of industrial control and require more powerful functions. It requires not only large bandwidth and fast response, but also basic functions such as port mapping, VPN, watchdog, stronger firewall, static induction protection, etc., while ordinary home routers only need to ensure the networking function. It can be seen that if an enterprise chooses a home router because of budget savings, it will cause many situations, such as Trojan virus, network hacking, network ups and downs, it is easy to find that there is no signal, and the router is often too hot to be used for a long time. Therefore, in addition to the difference in price, there is still a big gap between ordinary household routers and industrial-grade wireless routers.
