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-4210-16P2S and GS-4210-24P2S comply with IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus
(PoE+) at an affordable price. Its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports are integrated with 802.3at PoE+ injector function on all ports.
The Managed Switch is equipped with 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.
IEEE 802.3at/af Compliant Power Source Switch (GS-4210-16P2S and GS-4210-24P2S)
The PoE in-line power following the IEEE 802.3at/af standard makes the GS-4210-16P2S and GS-4210-24P2S able to deliver
Gigabit speed data and up to 30 watt s of power per port to 16/24 PoE compliant powered devices (PDs) with a combined power
output budget of up to 240/300 watts. The GS-4210-16P2S and GS-4210-24P2S provides more flexibility in power requirement
for all kinds of PDs with affordable installation costs.
High-performance Switch Architecture
The Managed Switch provides 16/24/48 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports and 2/4 100/1000BASE-X SFP slots. It
boasts a high-performance switch architecture capable of providing the non-blocking switch fabric and wire-speed throughput as
high as 36/52Gbps, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to increasing bandwidth demands.
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 such as a 32Gbps fat pipe, 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/unicast storm control, per port
bandwidth control, 802.1p/CoS/IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance at VoIP and video
stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.
Enhanced and Secure Management
For efficient management, the Managed Switch is equipped with console, Web, Telnet 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. 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 Managed Switch offers secure remote management by supporting HTTPS and SNMPv3 connections which
encrypt the packet content at each session.
Powerful Security
PLANET GS-4210 series Managed Switch offer comprehensive IPv4/IPv6 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. With the protected
port function, communication between edge ports can be prevented to guarantee user privacy. Furthermore, port security
function allows limiting the number of network devices on a given port.
Advanced Network Security
The Managed Switch also provides DHCP snooping, IP source guard and dynamic A RP 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.
Flexible Extension Solution
The two mini-GBIC slots built in the Managed Switch 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.
Fanless Design (GS-4210 Ser ies)
Adopting the latest chip process and green technology, the GS-4210 series successfully reduces substantial power
consumption with the fanless and noiseless design collocating with the effective cooler. Therefore, the GS-4210 series are able
to operate stably and quietly in any environment without affecting its performance.

It is recommended to use PLANET SFP on the Managed Switch. If you insert an SFP
that is not supported, the Managed Switch will not recognize it.
In the installation steps below, this Manual uses Gigabit SFP transceiver as an example. However
the steps for Fast Ethernet SFP transceiver are similar.
1. Before we connect Managed Switch to the other network device, we have to make sure both sides of the SFP
transceivers are with the same media type, for example: 1000BASE-SX to 1000BASE-SX, 1000Bas-LX to 1000BASE-LX.
2. Check whether the fiber-optic cable type matches with the SFP transceiver requirement.
To connect to 1000BASE-SX SFP transceiver, please use the multi-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.
To connect to 1000BASE-LX SFP transceiver, please use the single-mode fiber cable with one side being the male
duplex LC connector type.

Connecting the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP slot on the front of the Managed Switch. Ensure that the SFP transceiver is operating
correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP port if the link fails. To function with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, user has to set
the port Link mode to “1000 Force” or “100 Force”.
Removing the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity anymore.
2. Remove the fiber-optic cable gently.
3. Lift up the lever of the MGB module and turn it to a horizontal position.
4. Pull out the module gently through the lever.

3.3 Administration Console
The administration console is an internal, character-oriented, and command line user interface for performing system
administration such as displaying statistics or changing option settings. Using this method, you can view the administration
console from a terminal, personal computer, Apple Macintosh, or workstation connected to the Managed Switch's console port.
There are two ways to use this management method: via direct access or modem port access. The following sections describe
these methods. For more information about using the console, refer to Chapter 5 Command Line Interface Console
Management.
Figure 3-1: Console Management
Direct Access
Direct access to the administration console is achieved by directly connecting a terminal or a PC equipped with a
terminal-emulation program (such as HyperTerminal) to the Managed Switch console (serial) port. When using this
management method, a straight RS-232 to RJ45 cable is required to connect the switch to the PC. After making this
connection, configure the terminal-emulation program to use the following parameters:
The default parameters are:
115200 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit

GS
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator
such as TIP.
3.4 Web Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. After you set up your IP address for the Managed
Switch, you can access the Managed Switch’s Web interface applications directly in your Web browser by entering the IP
address of the Managed Switch.
Figure 3-3: Web Management
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Switch configuration parameters from one central location,
just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Switch's console port. Web Management requires either Microsoft
Internet Explorer 8.0 or later, Google Chrome, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.

3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMPc Network
Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management (NNM) or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string. This management
method, in fact, uses two community strings: the get community string and the set community string. If the SNMP Network
management Station only knows the set community string, it can read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get
community string, it can only read MIBs. The default gets and sets community strings for the Managed Switch are public.

4. WEB CONFIGURATION
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management.
About Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-based Management supports Internet Explorer 8.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network
bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE8
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be set on the same
IP subnet address as the Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via console,
then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative configuration on
manager PC.

4.2.7 SNMP Management
4.2.7.1 SNMP Overview
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an application layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of
management information between network devices. It is part of the T ran smission Cont rol P rotocol/Int ernet Prot ocol (TC P/IP)
protocol suite. SNMP enables network administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and
plan for network growth.
An SNMP-managed network consists of three key components: Network management stations (NMSs), SNMP agents,
Management information base (MIB) and network-management protocol：
。 Network management stations (NMSs)：Sometimes called consoles, these devices execute management applications
that monitor and control network elements. Physically, NMSs are usually engineering workstation-caliber computers with
fast CPUs, megapixel color displays, substantial memory, and abundant disk space. At least one NMS must be present in
each managed environment.
。 Agents：Agents are software modules that reside in network elements. They collect and store management information
such as the number of error packets received by a network element.
。 Management information base (MIB)：A MIB is a collection of managed objects residing in a virtual information store.
Collections of related managed objects are defined in specific MIB modules.
。 network-management protocol：A management protocol is used to convey management information between agents
and NMSs. SNMP is the Internet community's de facto standard management protocol.
SNMP Operations
SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol. NMSs can send multiple requests without receiving a response.
。 Get -- Allows the NMS to retrieve an object instance from the agent.
。 Set -- Allows the NMS to set values for object instances within an agent.
。 Trap -- Used by the agent to asynchronously inform the NMS of some event. The SNMPv2 trap message is designed to
replace the SNMPv1 trap message.
SNMP community
An SNMP community is the group that devices and management stations running SNMP belong to. It helps define where
information is sent. The community name is used to identify the group. A SNMP device or agent may belong to more than one
SNMP community. It will not respond to requests from management stations that do not belong to one of its communities. SNMP
default communities are:
。 Write = private
。 Read = public

4.3.4 Port Mirroring
Configure port Mirroring on this page. This function provide to monitoring network traffic that forwards a copy of each incoming
or outgoing packet from one port of a network Switch to another port where the packet can be studied. It enables the manager to
keep close track of switch performance and alter it if necessary.
• To debug network problems, selected traffic can be copied, or mirrored, to a mirror port where a frame analyzer can be
attached to analyze the frame flow.
• The Managed Switch can unobtrusively mirror traffic from any port to a monitor port. You can then attach a protocol
analyzer or RMON probe to this port to perform traffic analysis and verify connection integrity.
Figure 4-3-8: Port Mirror Application
The traffic to be copied to the mirror port is selected as follows:
• All frames received on a given port (also known as ingress or source mirroring).
• All frames transmitted on a given port (also known as egress or destination mirroring).
