Enhanced and Secure Management
For efficient management, the GS-4210-24P2S is equipped with console, Web, Telnet and SNMP management interfaces.
With the built-in Web-based management interface, the GS-4210-24P2S offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent
management and configuration facility. By supporting standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the switch can
be managed via any standard management software. For text-based management, the switch can be accessed via Telnet and
the console port. Moreover, the GS-4210-24P2S offers secure remote management by supporting HTTPS and SNMPv3
connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.
Powerful Security
PLANET GS-4210-24P2S offers comprehensive 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 authentication, which can
be deployed with RADIUS to ensure the port level security and block illegal users. The Port Security allows limiting the number
of users on a given port. The network administrators can now construct highly-secured corporate networks with considerably
less time and effort than before.
Flexible Extension Solution
The two mini-GBIC slots built in the GS-4210-24P2S are compatible with the 100Base-FX / 1000Base-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 550 meters to 2km (multi-mode fiber) up to above 10/20/30/40/50/60/70/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or
WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.
