User’s Manual of SGS-5220 Series
1.2 Product Description
High-Density, Resilient Deployment Switch Solution for Gigabit Networking of Enterprise, Campus and Data Center
For the growing Gigabit network and IoT (Internet of Things) demand, PLANET has launched a new-generation Stackable
Gigabit Switch solution, the SGS-5220 switch series, to meet the needs of enterprises, telecoms and campuses for a
large-scale network deployment. The SGS-5220 switch series is Layer 2+ Managed Stackable Gigabit Switch, which supports
both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols and hardware Layer 3 static routing capability, and provides 24 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet ports, 4 shared Gigabit SFP slots, 2 10G SFP+ uplink slots and another 2 dedicated 10G SFP+ stacked
interfaces for stacking with the series of switches. Up to 16 units, 384 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 32 10Gbps SFP+ slots can be
managed by a stacking group and you can add ports and functionality as needed.
Efficient Single IP Management
The SGS-5220 series applies the advantage of the stacking technology to managing 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.
The stacking technology also enables the chassis-based switches to be integrated into the SGS-5220 Managed Switch series at
an inexpensive cost.
Highly-reliable Stacking Ability
Through its up to 40Gbps, bi-directional high bandwidth tunnel and stacking technology, the SGS-5220 switch series gives the
enterprises, service providers and telecoms flexible control over port density, uplinks and switch stack performance. The stack
redundancy of the SGS-5220 switch series ensures that data integrity is retained even if one switch in the stack fails. You can
even hot-swap switches without disrupting the network, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for catering to
increasing bandwidth demands.
11
User’s Manual of SGS-5220 Series
Cost-effective 10Gbps Uplink Capacity
10G Ethernet is a big leap in the evolution of Ethernet. The two 10G SFP+ slot of the SGS-5220 switch series supports
Dual-speed, 10GBase-SR/LR or 1000Base-SX/LX, meaning the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP/SFP+
transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the network efficiently. They
greatly support SMB network to achieve 10Gbps high performance in a cost-effective way because 10GbE interface usually
could be available in Layer 3 Switch but Layer 3 Switch could be too expensive to SMBs.
Solution for IPv6 Networking
By supporting IPv6 / IPv4 dual stack and plenty of management functions with easy and friendly management interfaces, the
SGS-5220 series is the best choice for IP surveillance, VoIP and wireless service providers to connect with the IPv6 network. It
also helps the SMB to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment but not necessary to replace the network facilities while
the ISP constructs the IPv6 FTTx edge network.
12
User’s Manual of SGS-5220 Series
IPv4 and IPv6 VLAN Routing for Secure and Flexible Management
To help customers stay on top of their businesses, the SGS-5220 switch series not only provides ultra high transmission
performance and excellent layer 2 technologies, but also offers 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.
Robust Layer2 Features
The SGS-5220 series can be programmed for advanced switch management function, such as dynamic port link aggregation,
Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple spanning tree protocol(MSTP), Layer 2/4 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP/MLD snooping. The
SGS-5220 series allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. It enables up to 14 groups of 8 ports for
trunk maximum and supports connection fail-over as well.
Powerful Security
The SGS-5220 series offers comprehensive layer2 to layer4 access control list (ACL) for enforcing security to the edge. It
can be used to restrict to network access by denying packets based on source and destination IP address, TCP/UDP port
number 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.
Enhanced Security and Traffic Control
The SGS-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 administrator can now construct highly
13
User’s Manual of SGS-5220 Series
secured corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.
User-friendly Secure Management
For efficient management, the SGS-5220 series managed switch series is equipped with console, web and SNMP management
interfaces. With the built-in web-based management interface, the SGS-5220 series offers an easy-to-use, platform
independent management and configuration facility. The SGS-5220 series supports SNMP and it can be managed via any
management software based on standard of SNMP v1 and v2 protocol. For reducing product learning time, the SGS-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 SGS-5220 series offers remote secure management by supporting SSH, SSL and SNMPv3 connection
which can be encrypted the packet content at each session.
Flexible and Extendable Solution
The 4 mini-GBIC SFP slots built in the SGS-5220 switch 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) and 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 SGS-5220 switch series supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator
to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP and SFP+ transceivers, such as optical output power, optical input power,
temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.
Centralized Power Management for Gigabit Ethernet PoE Networking
To fulfill the needs of higher power required PoE network applications with Gigabit speed transmission, the SGS-5220-24P2X
features high-performance Gigabit IEEE 802.3af PoE (up to 15.4 watts) and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30 watts) on all ports. It
perfectly meets the power requirement of PoE VoIP phone and all kinds of PoE IP cameras such as IR, PTZ, speed dome
cameras or even box type IP cameras with built-in fan and heater for high power consumption.
The SGS-5220-24P2X’s PoE capabilities also help to reduce deployment costs for network devices as a result of freeing from

Step 2: Repeat the step for every device in the stack cluster, and then ending with the last switch.
Figure 2-23 Stacking Connection
Step 3: If you wish to implement stack redundancy, use the long stack cable to connect the stack port marked “STX1” on the
bottom switch to the port marked “STX2” on the top switch of the stack.
The stack port is for management and data packets to be transmitted between other SGS-5220
stackable switch series. The stack ports can’t be configured with Layer 2 features via management
interface.
Step 4: Power up the stack switches.
2.3.2 Management Stacking
The stack operation of the SGS Managed Switch supports Plug and Play Stacking connection and auto stack configuration.
Step 5: Once the stack starts operation, the Stack master will be automatically elected without any configuration. The Stack
master is indicated by a lit green “Master” LED on the front panel as Figure 2-24 shows.

Step 6: When an SGS Switch is added to the stack, a Switch ID is automatically assigned to the SGS Switch. The automatic
SID assignment can be modified by choosing a different Switch ID on the Stack Configuration page. This method
allows Switch IDs to be assigned so that it is easier for the user to remember the ID of each switch.
Step 7: Connect the RJ45 serial cable to the console port on the front of the stack master, and then login the SGS Switch to
start the switch management. Or you can use the PLANET Smart Discovery Utility to display the IP address of the
stack and Web login the stack with this IP address. The default IP address of the SGS Switch is 192.168.0.100.

1. The stack switch with the least priority ID or MAC Address number will become Master. Only
Master switch’s management interface (console, Telnet, Web and SNMP) is accessible.
It allows to build a stack of up to 16 PLANET SGS Switches. If there is the space limitation or power issue and you wish to stack
all the switches in different racks, use long stack cables to connect two stacks.
This chapter explains the methods that you can use to configure management access to the Managed Switch. It describes the
types of management applications and the communication and management protocols that deliver data between your
management device (workstation or personal computer) and the system. It also contains information about port connection
options.
This chapter covers the following topics:

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.

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 RS-232 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
40
User’s Manual of SGS-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.

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.
