Efficient Traffic Control
The Managed Switch 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/unicast storm control, per port
bandwidth control, 802.1p/CoS/IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance at VoIP and video
stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Enhanced and Secure Management
For efficient management, the Managed Switch is equipped with console, Web, Telnet and SNMP management interfaces. With
the built-in Web-based management interface, the Managed Switch offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management
and configuration facility. By supporting standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the switch can be managed
via any standard management software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet and the console
port. Moreover, the Managed Switch offers secure remote management by supporting HTTPS and SNMPv3 connections which
encrypt the packet content at each session.
Powerful Security
PLANET GS-4210 series Managed Switch offer 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
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 limiting the number of network devices on a given port.
Advanced Network Security
The Managed Switch 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-secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Flexible Extension Solution
The two mini-GBIC slots built in the Managed Switch are compatible with the 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small
Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceiver to uplink to backbone switch and monitor center in long distance. The distance can be
extended from 550 meters to 2km (multi-mode fiber) up to above 10/20/30/40/50/60/70/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or
WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
Fanless Design (GS-4210 Series)
Adopting the latest chip process and green technology, the GS-4210 series successfully reduces substantial power
consumption with the fanless and noiseless design collocating with the effective cooler. Therefore, the GS-4210 series are able
to operate stably and quietly in any environment without affecting its performance.
