1.2 Product Description
Cost-Optimized Managed Switch for Small and Medium Businesses
PLANET Managed Switch is an ideal Gigabit Switch which provides cost-effective advantage to local area network and is widely
accepted in the SMB office network. It offers intelligent Layer 2 data packet switching and management functions, friendly
web user interface and stable operation. Besides the hot IPv6 / IPv4 management and abundant L2 / L4 switching functions,
the GS-4210-16T2S / GS-4210-24T2S comes with fanless feature and green technology to provide a quiet, energy-saving,
high-speed and reliable office network environment, the GS-4210-24P2S complies with IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet
Plus (PoE+) at an affordable price, its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports are integrated with 802.3at PoE+ injector function on all ports.
The Managed Switch is equipped with 16/24 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 additional 100/1000BASE-X
SFP interfaces with inner power system. It offers a rack-mountable, affordable, safe and reliable Gigabit network switch solution
for SMBs deploying networks, or requiring enhanced data security and network traffic management.
IEEE 802.3at/af Compliant Power Source Switch (GS-4210-24P2S)
The PoE in-line power following the IEEE 802.3at/af standard makes the GS-4210-24P2S able to deliver Gigabit speed data
and up to 30 watts of power per port to 24 PoE compliant powered devices (PDs) with a combined power output budget of up to
300 watts. The GS-4210-24P2S provides more flexibility in power requirement for all kinds of PDs with affordable installation
costs.
High-performance Switch Architecture
The Managed Switch provides 16/24 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 100/1000BASE-X SFP slots. It boasts a
high-performance switch architecture capable of providing the non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as
36/52Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The Managed Switch can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation,
802.1Q VLAN and Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), Loop and BPDU Guard, IGMP Snooping, and MLD
Snooping. Via the link aggregation, the Managed Switch allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple
ports such as a 32Gbps fat pipe, and supports fail-over as well. Also, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is the Layer 2
protocol included to help discover basic information about neighboring devices on the local broadcast domain.
