CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch. The GS1200 Series consists of
the following models:
• GS1200-5
• GS1200-5HP v2
• GS1200-8
• GS1200-8HP v2
The Switch has 5/8 ports. You can easily connect different devices, such as computers, network storage
devices, IP cameras, print servers to your home network.
The PoE ports of the GS1200-5HP v2 and GS1200-8HP v2 support IEEE802.3at High Power over Ethernet
(PoE) and IEEE802.3af PoE standard, to provide power to IP CAM, wall mounted AP, and other devices
that may be far from a power outlet.
For an advanced user, the Switch also provides a utility like web configurator to give you an easy
configuration for VLAN, QoS, basis system management, and firmware upgrade. The Switch is compliant
with IEEE802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet Standard), and provides power-saving benefits without
compromising performance.
Key feature differences between Switch models are as follows. Other features are common to all
models.

1.2 Applications
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.
1.2.1 Bridging Application
In this example the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate
backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All
users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via the Switch.
Figure 1 Bridging Application
1.2.2 VLAN Application Example
A VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows a physical network to be partitioned into multiple logical
networks. Stations on a logical network belong to one or more groups. With VLAN, a station cannot
directly talk to or hear from stations that are not in the same group(s) unless such traffic first goes through
a router.
1.2.2.1 Tag-based VLAN Example
Ports in the same VLAN group share the same frame broadcast domain, thus increasing network
performance by reducing broadcast traffic. VLAN groups can be modified at any time by adding,
moving or changing ports without any re-cabling.
