Planet (GSW-2401) 24-Port 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Cost-effective Gigabit Solution for Enterprise Backbone and Data Center Networking
PLANET GSW-2401 Gigabit Ethernet Switch provides 24 RJ45 10/100/1000Mbps ports for high-speed network connectivity. It can automatically identify and determine the correct transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of the attached devices with its 24 Gigabit ports that support 9K jumbo frame feature. Therefore, the GSW-2401 can handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a backbone or high-power servers.
DIP Switch for Operation Mode Selection
The new GSW-2401 offers “Standard”, “VLAN”, “Port Trunk” and “Flow Control Off” modes. The GSW-2401 operates as a normal Gigabit Ethernet Switch in the "Standard" operation mode.
The "VLAN" operation mode features port-based VLAN function that can help to prevent the connected clients’ multicast or broadcast storm from influencing each other.
In the "Port Trunk" operation mode, the GSW-2401 forces aggregated ports 23 and 24 to be a trunk group.
| DIP Switch Mode | Function |
| Standard (default) | This mode makes the Gigabit Ethernet Switch operate as a general switch and all ports operate at 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation. |
| VLAN | This mode makes the GSW-2401 operate as a VLAN isolation switch and 1.Port 1 to port 22 will isolate respectively. 2.Port 1 to port 22 can only communicate with port 23 and port 24 (uplink port). |
| Port Trunk | This mode makes the GSW-2401 operate as a Trunk switch and port 23 to port 24 will act as Trunk ports. |
| Flow Control Off | This mode disables the Gigabit Ethernet Switch flow control function. |
High Performance
The GSW-2401 provides a high-performance switch architecture that is capable of providing the non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as high as 48Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands. Besides, the Flow Control function of the GSW-2401 enables routers and servers to directly connect to the Switch for fast and reliable data transfer.
All the RJ45 copper interfaces of the GSW-2401 support 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation for optimal speed detection through RJ45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables. It also supports standard for auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or crossover cables.
Excellent Traffic Transmission
The GSW-2401 supports Store-and-Forward forwarding scheme to ensure low latency and high data integrity, which eliminates unnecessary traffic and relieves congestion on critical network paths. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm, the GSW-2401 recognizes up to 8K different MAC addresses. The high data throughput and 48Gbps internal switching fabric make it ideal for most Gigabit environments, especially when network is upgraded to a Gigabit environment.
Fanless Design
With its good ventilation design, the GSW-2401 is able to operate all along without a fan, thus reducing substantial power consumption and creating a noiseless environment. The GSW-2401 is definitely the best choice for any working environment without affecting its performance.
