1.2 Product Description
Cost-optimized Managed Switch for Small and Medium Businesses
PLANET Managed Switch is an ideal Gigabit Switch which provides cost-optimized advantage to local area network and is
widely accepted in the SMB office network. It offers intelligent Layer 2 data packet switching and management functions,
friendly web user interface and stable operation. Besides the hot IPv6/IPv4 management and abundant L2/L4 switching
functions, the GS-4210 Series comes with fanless feature and green technology to provide a quiet, energy-saving, high-speed
and reliable office network environment. The GS-4210-8P2S, GS-4210-8P2C, GS-4210-16P2S, GS-4210-16P4C,
GS-4210-24P2Sv3, GS-4210-24P4Cv3, GS-4210-24PL4C and GS-4210-48P4S comply with IEEE 802.3at Power over
Ethernet Plus (PoE+) at an affordable price. Its 8/16/24/48 Gigabit Ethernet ports are integrated with 802.3at PoE+ injector
function on all ports.
The Managed Switch is equipped with 8/16/24/48 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2/4 additional
100/1000BASE-X SFP interfaces with inner power system. It offers a rack-mountable, affordable, safe and reliable Gigabit
network switch solution for SMBs deploying networks, or requiring enhanced data security and network traffic management.
Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks
The cybersecurity feature included to protect the switch management in a mission-critical network virtually needs no effort and
cost to install. Both SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols are utilized to provide strong protection against advanced threats. The
network administrator can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications
The Managed Switch 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 it is the managed PoE switch for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the GS-4210-8P2S, GS-4210-8P2C,
GS-4210-16P2S and GS-4210-24P2S feature the following special PoE management functions:
PD Alive Check
Scheduled Power Recycling
PoE Schedule
PoE Usage Monitoring
PoE Extension
IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management
Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the Managed Switch 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 Managed Switch 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 Managed Switch allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with
multiple ports, 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 Managed Switch 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 storm control, per port
bandwidth control, IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance for VoIP and video stream
transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Powerful Security
The Managed Switch 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 user authentication. With the
private VLAN function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to ensure user privacy. The network
administrators can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Advanced IP Network Protection
The Managed Switch 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 administrator can now build
highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the Managed Switch is equipped with Command line, Web and SNMP management interfaces.
With the built-in Web-based management interface, the Managed Switch 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.

Remote Management Solution
PLANET's Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and CloudViewer 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 CloudViewer app, all kinds of businesses can now be speedily and efficiently managed
from one platform.
Flexibility and Extension Solution
The 2/4 mini-GBIC slots built in the Managed Switch support SFP auto-detection and dual speed as it features 100BASE-FX
and 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceivers to uplink to backbone switch and monitoring
center in long distance. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to above
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 Managed Switch 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.
