User’s Manual of GS-5220 Series
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 Manag emen t
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.

User’s Manual of GS-5220 Series
Efficient and Secure Management
The GS-5220 series Managed Switch is equipped with console, Web and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in
Web-based management interface, the GS-5220 series offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and
configuration facility. The GS-5220 series supports standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be
managed via any management software based on standard of SNMP protocol. For reducing product learning time, the GS-5220
series offers Cisco-like command via Telnet or console port and customer doesn’t need to learn new command from these
switches. Moreover, the GS-5220 series offers secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMPv3 connection
which encrypt the packet content at each session.
Flexibility and Extension Solution
The multi-mini-GBIC slots built in the GS-5220 series support dual speed as it features 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX
SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules. Now the administrator can flexibly choose the suitable SFP transceiver
according to not only the transmission distance, but also the transmission speed required. The distance can be extended from
550 meters to 2km (multi-mode fiber) up to above 10/20/30/40/50/70/120 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 GS-5220 series supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to
easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias
current, and transceiver supply voltage.

2.2.3 Installing the SFP/SFP+ Transceiver
The sections describe how to insert an SFP/SFP+ transceiver into an SFP/SFP+ slot. The SFP/SFP+ transceivers are
hot-pluggable and hot-swappable. You can plug in and out the transceiver to/from any SFP/SFP+ port without having to power
down the Managed Switch, as the Figure 2-2-4 shows..
Figure 2-2-4: Plug-in the SFP/SFP+ Transceiver
Approved PLANET SFP/SFP+ Transceivers
PLANET Managed Switch supports both single mode and multi-mode SFP/SFP+ transceivers. The following list of approved
PLANET SFP/SFP+ transceivers is correct at the time of publication:
10G WDM(LC) Single Mode 20km 1330nm 1270nm 0 ~ 60 degrees C
10G WDM(LC) Single Mode 40km 1270nm 1330nm 0 ~ 60 degrees CMTB-LA40
10G WDM(LC) Single Mode 40km 1330nm 1270nm 0 ~ 60 degrees C
10G WDM(LC) Single Mode 60km 1270nm 1330nm 0 ~ 60 degrees CMTB-LA60
10G WDM(LC) Single Mode 60km 1330nm 1270nm 0 ~ 60 degrees C
It is recommended to use PLANET SFP/SFP+ on the Managed Switch. If you insert an SFP/SFP+
transceiver that is not supported, the Managed Switch will not recognize it.
1. Before we connect the GS-5220 series 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.
Connect the Fiber Cable
1. Insert the duplex LC connector into the SFP/SFP+ transceiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to a device with SFP/SFP+ transceiver installed.
3. Check the LNK/ACT LED of the SFP/SFP+ slot on the front of the Managed Switch. Ensure that the SFP/SFP+
transceiver is operating correctly.
4. Check the Link mode of the SFP/SFP+ port if the link fails. To function with some fiber-NICs or Media Converters, user
has to set the port Link mode to “10G Force”, “1000M Force” or “100M Force”.
Remove the Transceiver Module
1. Make sure there is no network activity anymore.
2. Remove the Fiber-Optic Cable gently.
40
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.
User’s Manual of GS-5220 Series
Figure 2-2-5: How to Pull Out the SFP/SFP+ Transceiver
Never pull out the module without lifting up the lever of the module and turning it to a horizontal
position. Directly pulling out the module could damage the module and the SFP/SFP+ module
slot of the Managed Switch.

3.2 Management Access Overview
The Managed Switch gives you the flexibility to access and manage it using any or all of the following methods:
An administration console
Web browser interface
An external SNMP-based network management application
The administration console and Web browser interface support are embedded in the Managed Switch software and are
available for immediate use. Each of these management methods has their own advantages. Table 3-1 compares the three
management methods.
Method Advantages Disadvantages
Console
Web Browser
SNMP Agent
No IP address or subnet needed
Text-based
Telnet functionality and HyperTerminal

or slow
Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the IP address and subnet mask)
May encounter lag times on poor connections
Requires SNMP manager software
Least visually appealing of all three methods
Some settings require calculations
Security can be compromised (hackers need
only know the community name)
Table 3-1 Comparison of Management Methods

User’s Manual of GS-5220 Series
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
(serial) port.
Figure 3-1-1: 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 DB9 RS232 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
Figure 3-1-2: Terminal Parameter Settings
44
User’s Manual of GS-5220 Series
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 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 3-1-3: 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 7.0 or later, Safari or Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later.
Figure 3-1-4: Web Main Screen of Managed Switch
45
User’s Manual of GS-5220 Series
3.5 SNMP-based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the Managed Switch, such as SNMP 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 Net-work
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 getting and setting community strings for the Managed Switch is public.
Figure 3-1-5: SNMP Management

4. WEB CONFIGURATION
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management from Managed Switch.
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 7.0. 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, IE7.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to 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 with 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.
