Spec Sheet

High-Reliability Stacking Management
The GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series applies the advantage of
stackable technology to manage the stack group with
one single IP address, which helps network managers to
easily manage a stack of switches instead of connecting
and setting each unit one by one. Through its high-
bandwidth tunnel and stacking technology, the GE-
DSSG-244 series gives the enterprises, service providers
and telecoms flexible control over port density, uplinks
and switch stack performance. Stack redundancy of the
GE-DSSG-244 series ensures data integrity be retained
even if one switch in the stack fails. You can even hot-
swap switches without disrupting the network, which
greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for
catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series can be programmed
for advanced switch management functions such as
dynamic port link aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, private
VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree protocol, Layer 2 to Layer 4
QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping. The GE-
DSG/GE-DSSG series provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN,
and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to
255. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the GE-DSG/
GE-DSSG series allows the operation of a high-speed
trunk combining multiple ports. It enables a maximum
of 12 groups of 16 ports for port link aggregation, and
supports fail-over as well.
Cable Diagnostics
GE’s DSG and DSSG 24 port Web browser interface
provides more than just set up operations. PoE and cable
diagnostics monitor each port providing immediate
notification of problem areas. Ethernet connections,
PoE utilization, power consumption, available power
and even cable connections right down to the wire pair
save you valuable time and expense in troubleshooting
system problems.
Easy and Friendly Traffic Control
GE Security GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series is loaded with
powerful but easy traffic management and QoS
features to enhance services offered by telecoms.
The functionality includes QoS features such as wire-
speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limiting
that are particularly useful for multi-tenant unit,
multi-business unit, telco, or network service provider
applications, such as VoIP, video streaming and multicast
applications. The embedded handy QoS configuration
wizard helps you set up typical network application rules
easily and quickly via Web interface. The GE-DSG/GE-
DSSG series also empowers the enterprises or campus
to take full advantages of the limited network resources
and guarantees the best performance in voice and video
conferencing transmission.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the GE-DSSG-244 series
managed stackable gigabit switch is equipped with
console, WEB and SNMP management interfaces.
With the built-in Web-based management interface,
the GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration
facility. The GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series supports standard
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can
be managed via any standard-based management
software. For text-based management, the GE-DSG/
GE-DSSG series can be accessed via telnet and the
console port. Moreover, the GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series
offers secure remote management by supporting
SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content
at each session.
PoE Power That is Never Shared
For GE’s PoE versions, power is never shared. Full 802.3af
power is applied to each assigned port. This assures
continuous operation for video cameras and other
products that require full power.
