PLANET GSD-1002M is an 8-port 10/100/1000Mbps + 2-port 100/1000X SFP Managed Desktop Switch specially designed to build a reliable full Gigabit backbone to transmit and forward data to remote network through fiber optic. It provides 8-port 10/100/1000BASE-T copper and 2 extra 100/1000BASE-X SFP fiber optic interfaces with dual power system. Besides support for 20Gbps switch fabric to handle extremely large amounts of video, voice and important data in a secure topology, the GSD-1002M provides user-friendly but advanced IPv6 / IPv4 management interfaces and abundant L2/L4 switching functions. It is the best investment for businesses/SOHOs expanding or upgrading their network infrastructure.     Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks The GSD-1002M supports SSHv2 and TLS protocols to provide strong protection against advanced threats. It includes a range of cybersecurity features such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, Dynamic ARP Inspection, 802.1x port-based network access control, RADIUS and TACACS+ user accounts management, SNMPv3 authentication, and so on to complement it as an all-security solution.   Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications The GSD-1002M supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology, Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP) into customer’s network to enhance system reliability and uptime in various environments.   Spanning Tree Protocol and Dual Power Input for High Availability Network System The GSD-1002M features strong rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1s MSTP), auto loop protection and dual power input system (PoE In + 12V DC) into customer’s automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime. In the example below, PoE power has failed with dropped cable and DC power will run hardware failover function automatically to keep powering the switch without any loss.   IPv6/IPv4 Dual Stack Management Supporting both IPv6 and IPv4 protocols, the GSD-1002M helps the SMBs to step in the IPv6 era with the lowest investment as its network facilities need not be replaced or overhauled if the IPv6 network is set up.    Robust Layer 2 Features The GSD-1002M 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 GSD-1002M allows the operation of a high-speed trunk to combine with multiple ports, 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 GSD-1002M 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 storm control, per port bandwidth control, IP DSCP QoS priority and remarking. It guarantees the best performance for VoIP and video stream transmission, and empowers the enterprises to take full advantage of the limited network resources.   Powerful Security PLANET GSD-1002M offers 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 user and device authentication, which can be deployed with RADIUS and TACACS+ 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 to limit the number of network devices on a given port.    Friendly and Secure Management  For efficient management, the GSD-1002M is equipped with Command line, Web and SNMP management interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the GSD-1002M offers an easy-to-use, platform-independent management and configuration facility. For text-based management, it can be accessed via Telnet and the console port. By supporting the standard SNMP protocol, the switch can be managed via any SNMP-based management software.   Moreover, the GSD-1002M offers secure remote management by supporting SSHv2, TLSv1.2 and SNMP v3 connections which encrypt the packet content at each session.     Flexibility and Long-distance Extension Solution The two mini-GBIC slots built in the GSD-1002M support SFP auto-detection and dual speed as it features 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber transceivers to uplink to backbone switch and monitoring center in long distance. The distance can be extended from 550 meters to 2 kilometers (multi-mode fiber) and up to above 10/20/40/60/80/120 kilometers (single-mode fiber or WDM fiber). They are well suited for applications within the enterprise data centers and distributions.   Handheld Size for FTTD Solution The GSD-1002M provides high-performance edge service and plug-and-play design for FTTD (Fiber to the Desktop) solutions. FTTD service is fiber optic cabling with reliable and expandable, lower-cost wiring architectures, and long distance capability. The GSD-1002M supports dual-speed, 100BASE-FX and 1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules to connect fiber access point, with high flexibility to be installed in communication closet or major computer room for SMBs.
