It offers intelligent Layer 2 data packet switching and management functions, friendly web user interface and stable operation, also the popular IPv6/IPv4 management and abundant L2/L4 switching functions.

The GS-4210-16P2S is equipped with 16 10/100/1000BASE-T 802.3at PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2 additional 100/1G/2.5GBASE-X SFP interfaces with inner power system. It offers a rack-mountable, affordable, safe and reliable power solution for SMBs deploying Power over Ethernet networks, or requiring enhanced data security and network traffic management.

 

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The GS-4210-16P2S 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, 802.1x port-based network access control, RADIUS and TACACS+ user accounts management, SNMPv3 authentication, and so on to complement it as an all-security solution.

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The GS-4210-16P2S 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, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP) into customer’s network to enhance system reliability and uptime in various environments.

 

Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Devices Management

As the PoE managed switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the GS-4210-16P2S features special PoE management functions:

• PD alive check
• Scheduled power recycling
• PoE schedule
• PoE usage monitoring
• PoE Extension

 

Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check

The GS-4210-16P2S can be configured to monitor connected PD (Powered Device) status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the GS-4210-16P2S will resume the PoE port power and bring the PD back to work. It will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE port resetting the PD’s power source and reducing administrator management burden.

Scheduled Power Recycling

The GS-4210-16P2S allows each of the connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specific time each week. Therefore, it will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crash resulting from buffer overflow.

PoE Schedule for Energy Saving

Under the trend of energy saving worldwide and contributing to environmental protection, the GS-4210-16P2S can effectively control the power supply besides its capability of giving high watts power. The “PoE schedule” function helps you to enable or disable PoE power feeding for each PoE port during specified time intervals and it is a powerful function to help SMBs or enterprises save power and money. It also increases security by powering off PDs that should not be in use during non-business hours.

PoE Usage Monitoring

Via the power usage chart in the web management interface, the GS-4210-16P2S enables the administrator to monitor the status of the power usage of the connected PDs in real time. Thus, it greatly enhances the management efficiency of the facilities.

 

802.3at PoE+ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Distance Extension

In the “Extend” operation mode, the GS-4210-16P2S operates on a per-port basis at 10Mbps duplex operation but can support 20-watt PoE power output over a distance of up to 250 meters overcoming the 100m limit on Ethernet UTP cable. With this brand-new feature, the GS-4210-16P2S provides an additional solution for 802.3at/af PoE distance extension, thus saving the cost of Ethernet cable installation.

IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management

Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the GS-4210-16P2S 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.

 

Robust Layer 2 Features

The GS-4210-16P2S 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-4210-16P2S allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports such as a 16Gbps 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.

Efficient Traffic Control

The GS-4210-16P2S 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.

 

Powerful Security

PLANET GS-4210-16P2S offers 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 user and device 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 to limit the number of network devices on a given port.

 

Friendly and Secure Management 

For efficient management, the GS-4210-16P2S is equipped with Command line, Web and SNMP management interfaces.

• With the built-in Web-based management interface, the GS-4210-16P2S offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility.
• For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the console port.
• By supporting the standard SNMP protocol, the switch can be managed via any SNMP-based management software.

Moreover, the GS-4210-16P2S offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2, TLSv1.2/TLSv1.3 and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.

Remote Management Solution

PLANET’s Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and NMSViewerPro/CloudViewerPro app support IT staff by remotely managing all network devices and monitoring PDs’ operational statuses. Thus, they’re designed for both the enterprises and industries where deployments of PDs can be as remote as possible, without having to go to the actual location once a bug or faulty condition is found. With the UNI-NMS or NMSViewerPro/CloudViewerPro app, all kinds of businesses can now be speedily and efficiently managed from one platform.

 

PLANET CloudNMS – Cloud-Based Universal Network Management

PLANET’s CloudNMS platform and mobile app empower IT staff to remotely manage all network devices and Powered Devices (PDs) in real time. Designed for enterprises and industries, CloudNMS minimizes the need for on-site troubleshooting by providing centralized monitoring, fault detection, and instant alerts.

With CloudNMS, businesses can manage diverse network deployments more efficiently, securely, and intelligently—all from a single cloud-based platform.

Flexible Extension Solution

The two SFP slots built in the GS-4210-16P2S are compatible with the 1000BASX/LX/2500BASE-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 100 meters (RJ45 to SFP) or 300m and 500m (Multi-mode, LC) to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and to 10/20/40/60/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.

 

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The GS-4210-16P2S supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that can easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP for network administrator, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
