User’s Manual of GS-4210 UPoE Series
Efficient Traffic Control
The GS-4210 UPoE series is loaded with robust QoS features and powerful traffic management to enhance services to
business-class data, voice and video solutions. The functionality includes broadcast/multicast storm control, per port
bandwidth control, IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance for VoIP and video stream
transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Powerful Security
PLANET GS-4210 UPoE series offers comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 Layer 2 to Layer 4 Access Control List (ACL) for enforcing
security to the edge. It can be used to restrict network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address,
TCP/UDP ports or defined typical network applications. Its protection mechanism also comprises 802.1X port-based user and
device authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS to ensure the port level security and block illegal users. With the
protected port function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. Furthermore, Port
security function allows to limit the number of network devices on a given port.
Advanced Network Security
The GS-4210 UPoE series also provides DHCP snooping, IP source guard and dynamic ARP inspection functions to
prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now
construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Friendly and Secure Management
For efficient management, the GS-4210 UPoE series is equipped with web, Telnet and SNMP management interfaces. With the
built-in web-based management interface, the GS-4210 UPoE series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management
and configuration facility. By supporting the standard SNMP, the switch can be managed via any standard management
software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet. Moreover, the GS-4210 UPoE series offers
secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each
session.
Flexibility and Long-distance Extension Solution
The four mini-GBIC slots built in the GS-4210 UPoE series support SFP auto-detection and dual speed as it features
100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceivers to uplink to backbone switch and
monitoring center in long distance. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to
above 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the
enterprise data centers and distributions.
