PLANET GS-5220-16S8CR network switch Managed L2+ Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) 1U Blue

Multi-port & Flexible Dual-speed Fiber Optic Connectivity for Long-reach Distance Solution

PLANET GS-5220-16S8CR is a Layer 2+ Managed Gigabit Switch which provides high-density performance and supports Layer 3 static routing with 10Gbps uplink and multiple SFP fiber interfaces delivered in a 1U rugged case design. The administrator can flexibly choose the suitable SFP/SFP+ transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the 10G network efficiently. Besides, with 128Gbps switching fabric, the GS-5220-16S8CR can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to backbone or high capacity servers for ISP and enterprise VoIP, video streaming, and multicast applications.


High Performance 10Gbps Ethernet Capability

The four SFP+ ports built in the GS-5220-16S8CR boast a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as up to 128Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands. Each of the SFP+ ports supports 4 speeds, 10GBASE-SR/LR, 2500BASE-X, 1000BASE-SX/LX and 100BASE-FX, meaning the administrator can choose the transmission speed required to extend the network efficiently.


Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The GS-5220-16S8CR supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology and Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP) into customer’s network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments.


Layer 3 IPv4 VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management

The GS-5220-16S8CR switch not only provides ultra high transmission performance, and excellent Layer 2 and Layer 4 technologies, but also Layer 3 IPv4 VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over different VLANs and different IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secure, flexibly-managed and simple networking application.


Robust Layer 2 Features

The GS-5220-16S8CR 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 GS-5220-16S8CR allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, 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.


Efficient Traffic Control

The GS-5220-16S8CR 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 in VoIP and video stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.


Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The GS-5220-16S8CR supports SSHv2 and TLS protocols to provide strong protection against advanced threats. It includes a range of cybersecurity features such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, Dynamic ARP Inspection Protection, RADIUS and TACACS+ user accounts management, SNMPv3 authentication, and so on to complement it as an all-security solution.


User-friendly Management Interfaces

For efficient management, the GS-5220-16S8CR is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

- With the built-in Web-based management interface, the GS-5220-16S8CR offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
- For text-based management, the switches can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
- For standard-based monitor and management software, it offers SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content at each session for secure remote management.
Moreover, the GS-5220-16S8CR offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2, TLSv1.2 and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.


IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the GS-5220-16S8CR helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.


Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The GS-5220-16S8CR supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP and SFP+ transceivers, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.


Redundant AC/DC Power Supply to Ensure Continuous Operation

The GS-5220-16S8CR is particularly equipped with one 100~240V AC power supply unit and one 36~72V DC power supply unit to provide an enhanced reliable and scalable redundant power supply, the continuous power system is specifically designed to fulfill the demands of high-tech facilities requiring the highest power integrity. With the 36~72V DC power supply. The GS-5220-16S8CR is able to act as a telecom-level device that can be located in the electronic room.
