Lancom Systems GS-2124 Switch User Manual


 
This switch makes bandwidth bottlenecks a thing of the past for company networks: The LANCOM GS-2124 is a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with 20x 10/100/1000 Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet ports and four combo ports for fiber-optic cable connections. Data transfer at gigabit rates appreciably increases network data rates. The GS-2124 integrates
seamlessly into your existing infrastructure and benefits from monitoring with the free LANCOM Management Tools. Switch components such as the extremely quiet fan in
LANCOM's customary high quality allow us to offer a 5-year warranty.
More Efficiency.
Intelligent switches like the LANCOM GS-2124 can re-route data packets when network glitches occur. The rapid spanning tree algorithm takes care of this so fast that users do
not notice any delay. Just as important as the rapid spanning tree algorithm is the efficient control of bandwidth. This ensures that important applications such as IP telephony are
constantly provided with ample bandwidth to avoid interruptions to conversations. When conducting bandwidth control, the LANCOM GS-2124 prioritizes the data traffic according
to predefined criteria (e.g. voice data or certain ports). The LANCOM GS-2124 has four-level prioritization to control the sequence of incoming and outgoing data traffic.
More Security.
The LANCOM GS-2124 gives you the assurance that rogue clients cannot access your network via this switch. Configuring 802.1x access control for all ports ensures that
unauthorized devices plugged into a switch port cannot gain access to the network. The LANCOM GS-2124 also features rigorous defenses against attacks such as MAC flooding:
The MAC address learning limit can be set individually and provides reliable protection from attacks that would otherwise turn this switch into a dysfunctional bottle-neck.
More Management.
The LANCOM GS-2124 stands for easy operability without compromising on security. Managing the switch is easy with the clearly structured, user-friendly WEBconfig. Port mirroring
allows the close observation of network traffic. And there's yet more you can do: With the free LANCOM Management Tools including LANconfig and LANmonitor, we offer not
only direct access to the devices via WEBconfig but also the direct observation of the GS-2124's performance in the network. The GS-2124 also features virtual stacking management
(VSM) that allows you to manage up to 16 switches at one IP address.
What’s more...
LANCOM switches complete your LANCOM network: In order for the wireless virtual networks (VLANs) supported by our access points to match-up seamlessly to an external, cabled
IPsec-based VPN, the switches at the junctions must be able to recognize the different VLANs and forward the data accordingly. LANCOM Managed Switches work with LANCOM
Advanced Routing and Forwarding to form this connection. You benefit from convergent, professional networking technology from a single source.
