The GE Security GE-DSG / GE-DSSG series is a Layer 2+
managed gigabit switch designed to handle extremely large
amounts of data. These units function in a secure topology,
linking to an enterprise backbone or high-capacity network
server. The powerful features of QoS and network security
make this series an effective solution for data traffic control
for ISPs and enterprises, including VoIP, video streaming
and multicast applications. In addition, this switch is ideal
for the core layer of campus, enterprise networks and the
aggregation layer of IP metropolitan networks. Multicasting
IGMP Snooping and Query assure effective bandwidth
utilization of larger video files.
Designed for various networking applications, the GEDSG / GE-DSSG are all multiple ports with SFP fiber optical
connective ability and robust Layer 2 features. This series
provides 24 gigabit Ethernet ports with multiple shared gigabit
SFP slots. Boasting high-performance architecture these
switches are capable of providing non-blocking switch fabric
and wire-speed throughput as high as 68Gbps, these units
simplify LAN upgrades that can increase bandwidth demands.
Switcher stacking feature with the ability to connect up to 16
switches with control of 38 ports over a 5 Gbps backbone with
intelligent hot swap for both master and node switches.
Gigabit Power over Ethernet
The GE Security GE-DSSG-244-PoE series Power-over-Ethernet
(PoE) optimizes the installation and power management of
network devices such as 802.11n wireless access points
(AP) with gigabit LAN port, VoIP phones and security video
cameras. PoE capabilities also reduce installation costs for
many new network productivity devices, and free the wireless
AP deployment from restrictions due to power outlet locations.
Power and data switching are integrated into one unit and
delivered over a single cable, eliminating costs for additional
AC wiring and reducing installation time.
Fiber-Optical Long-Reach Networking
For large-scale network deployment applications, the GEDSSG-244 provides 24 100/1000 dual-speed SFP slots, eight
shared gigabit TP ports, and two dedicated high-speed
HDMI-like interfaces for stacking with the series of switches.
By applying the GE-DSSG series switch, up to 16 units and
384 fiber-optical ports can be managed by a stacking
group. Through additional ports, functionality can be added
as needed. The two built-in stacking ports provide 5Gbps
bandwidth and up to 20Gbps bi-directional speed. These units
can handle extremely large amounts of data and video in a
secure topology linking for backbone or high-capacity network
server. The stacking technology also enables the chassisbased switches to be integrated into GE-DSSG series Managed
Switch without the expensive up-front cost.

High-Reliability Stacking Management
Easy and Friendly Traffic Control
The GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series applies the advantage of
stackable technology to manage the stack group with
one single IP address, which helps network managers to
easily manage a stack of switches instead of connecting
and setting each unit one by one. Through its highbandwidth tunnel and stacking technology, the GEDSSG-244 series gives the enterprises, service providers
and telecoms flexible control over port density, uplinks
and switch stack performance. Stack redundancy of the
GE-DSSG-244 series ensures data integrity be retained
even if one switch in the stack fails. You can even hotswap switches without disrupting the network, which
greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for
catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
Robust Layer 2 Features
The GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series can be programmed
for advanced switch management functions such as
dynamic port link aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, private
VLAN, Rapid Spanning Tree protocol, Layer 2 to Layer 4
QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP Snooping. The GEDSG/GE-DSSG series provides 802.1Q Tagged VLAN,
and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to
255. Via aggregation of supporting ports, the GE-DSG/
GE-DSSG series allows the operation of a high-speed
trunk combining multiple ports. It enables a maximum
of 12 groups of 16 ports for port link aggregation, and
supports fail-over as well.
Cable Diagnostics
GE’s DSG and DSSG 24 port Web browser interface
provides more than just set up operations. PoE and cable
diagnostics monitor each port providing immediate
notification of problem areas. Ethernet connections,
PoE utilization, power consumption, available power
and even cable connections right down to the wire pair
save you valuable time and expense in troubleshooting
system problems.
GE Security GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series is loaded with
powerful but easy traffic management and QoS
features to enhance services offered by telecoms.
The functionality includes QoS features such as wirespeed Layer 4 traffic classifiers and bandwidth limiting
that are particularly useful for multi-tenant unit,
multi-business unit, telco, or network service provider
applications, such as VoIP, video streaming and multicast
applications. The embedded handy QoS configuration
wizard helps you set up typical network application rules
easily and quickly via Web interface. The GE-DSG/GEDSSG series also empowers the enterprises or campus
to take full advantages of the limited network resources
and guarantees the best performance in voice and video
conferencing transmission.
Efficient Management
For efficient management, the GE-DSSG-244 series
managed stackable gigabit switch is equipped with
console, WEB and SNMP management interfaces.
With the built-in Web-based management interface,
the GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series offers an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration
facility. The GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series supports standard
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can
be managed via any standard-based management
software. For text-based management, the GE-DSG/
GE-DSSG series can be accessed via telnet and the
console port. Moreover, the GE-DSG/GE-DSSG series
offers secure remote management by supporting
SNMPv3 connection which encrypts the packet content
at each session.
PoE Power That is Never Shared
For GE’s PoE versions, power is never shared. Full 802.3af
power is applied to each assigned port. This assures
continuous operation for video cameras and other
products that require full power.
