1.2 Product Description
Ideal Combination of 10G Uplink, high-density, Gigabit and Layer 3 Static Routing
PLANET GS-5220 series is a Layer 2+ managed Gigabit / 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch and supports static Layer 3 routing in a
1U case. The GS-5220 series can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to an enterprise
backbone or high capacity servers.
Layer 3 IPv4 and IPv6 VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management
The GS-5220 series switch not only provides ultra high transmission performance, and excellent layer 2 and layer 4
technologies, but also layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over different VLANs and different IP
addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secured, flexible management and simpler networking application.
IPv6 / IPv4 Dual Stack
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the GS-5220 series helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment
as its network facilities need not to be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 FTTx edge network is set up.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The GS-5220 series can be programmed for advanced switch management functions such as dynamic port link aggregation,
Q-in-Q VLAN , private VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP), Layer 2 to Layer 4 QoS, bandwidth control and
IGMP/MLD Snooping . Via the link aggregation of supporting ports, the GS-5220 series allows the operation of a high-speed
trunk to combine with multiple fiber ports and supports fail-over as well.
Powerful Security
The GS-5220 series offers a 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 and MAC-based user and
device authentication. With the private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user
privacy. The GS-5220 series also provides DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard and Dynamic ARP Inspection functions to
prevent IP snooping from attack and discard ARP packets with invalid MAC address. The network administrators can now
construct highly secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Excellent Traffic Control
The GS-5220 series is loaded with powerful traffic management and QoS features to enhance connection services by SMBs.
The QoS features include wire-speed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limit that are particular useful for multi-tenant unit,
multi business unit, Telco, or Network Service Provider’s applications. It also empowers the enterprises to take full advantages
of the limited network resources and guarantees the best performance in VoIP and video conferencing transmission.
