Chapter 2 Introduction
Thanks for choosing the GES-2451 24 GE with 4 Shared SFP Web Smart Switch!
2.1
Overview of the Switch
Designed for workgroups and departments, GES-2451 provides wire-speed performance and full
set of layer 2 management features. It provides a variety of service features and multiple powerful
functions with high security.
The EIA-standardized framework and smart configuration capacity can provide flexible solutions
for a variable scale of networks. QoS and IGMP snooping/filtering optimize voice and video
application. Link aggregation increases aggregated bandwidth, optimizing the transport of
business critical data. SNMP, RMON, WEB/Telnet Log-in bring abundant management policies.
GES-2451 switch integrates multiple functions with excellent performance, and is friendly to
manage, which can fully meet the need of the users demanding higher networking performance.
2.2 Main Features
Resiliency and Availability
+ IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree provides high link availability in multiple VLAN
environments.
+ Multicast snooping automatically prevents flooding of IP multicast traffic.
+ Root Guard protects root bridge from malicious attack or configuration mistakes
Layer 2 Switching
+ Supports up to 512 VLANs simultaneously (out of 4K VLAN IDs).
Quality of Service
+ Supports L2/L3 granular CoS with 4 priority queues per port.
+ Rate limiting confines the traffic flow accurately according to the preset value.
Manageability
+ Supports Telnet, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON and web access.
+ Port Mirroring enables monitoring selected ingress/egress traffic.
