Robust Layer 2 Features
The GSW-1602SF can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as port mirroring, dynamic port / IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation, port-based / IEEE 802.1Q VLAN, Q-in-Q VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree protocol, IEEE 802.1p QoS, bandwidth control , IGMP Querier / Snooping and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) . The GSW-1602SF provides IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN allowing maximally up to 256 VLAN groups. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the GSW-1602SF allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports. It enables maximum up to 8 groups of 8 ports for trunking and supports fail-over and 802.3ad LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol).

Excellent Traffic Control
The GSW-1602SF is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features to enhance services offered by telecoms. The QoS features include IEEE 802.1p 4 priority Queues / DSCP and bandwidth limiting that are particular useful for multi-tenant unit, multi business unit, Telco, or Network Service Provider applications. The GSW-1602SF empowers the enterprises to take full advantages of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance in VoIP and Video conferencing transmission.

Efficient Management
For efficient management, the GSW-1602SF Web Smart Gigabit Switch is equipped with WEB and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the GSW-1602SF offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. The GSW-1602SF also supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any standard-based management software. Furthermore, it provides configuration backup and restore function through web interface for quick deployment of multi-devices with the same configuration.

Powerful Security
The GSW-1602SF offers IEEE 802.1X Port-based access control and RADIUS Server Authentication for system authentication. Its security mechanism also comprises filter configuration and MAC address filter. The filter configuration provides per port source IP filter to block unauthorized access and static MAC address assigns destination MAC address at specified port. With the benefit of port-based / IEEE 802.1Q VLAN function, network administrators can now construct highly secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

Flexibility and Extension Solution
The two mini-GBIC slots built in the GSW-1602SF are compatible with 1000Base-FX / 1000Base-SX/LX and WDM SFP (Small Factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules. The distance can be extended from 550 meters (Multi-Mode fiber) up to above 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-Mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications of the enterprise data centers and distributions

Optimal Solution for Energy-Saving and High Gigabit Performance
In line with the energy-saving trend worldwide, PLANET GSW-1602SF adopts the new generation green technology. The GSW-1602SF is upgraded from earlier version and brings both benefits of energy saving and gigabit performance. It uses new engine to provide power saving up to 28% less energy consumption without reducing the performance, and particularly offer flexible power saving mode to fill various demands. It is specially suited for enterprise and campus networking.

The GSW-1602SF incorporates two advanced Green Networking technologies:
• Hibernation power saving modes selection

– Both link-up and link-down
– Link-up only
– Link-down only
– No power saving

• Intelligent scales power based on cable length
