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 Layer 2 Features
The GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR 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. The GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR also provide 802.1Q Tagged VLAN,
and the VLAN groups allowed will be maximally up to 255. Via the aggregation of supporting ports, the GS-5220-16S8C and
GS-5220-16S8CR allow the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports and support fail-over as well.
Enhanced Security
The GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR offer 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 of 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. Furthermore, the GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR provide 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.
Efficient and Secure Management
The GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR Managed Switches are equipped with console, WEB and SNMP management
interfaces. With the built-in Web-based management interface, the GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR offer an easy-to-use,
platform-independent management and configuration facility. The GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR support standard
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and can be managed via any management software that supports SNMP
protocol. For text-based management, the GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR can be accessed via Telnet and the console
port. Moreover, the GS-5220-16S8C and GS-5220-16S8CR offer secure remote management by supporting SSH, SSL and
SNMPv3 connection which encrypt the packet content at each session.
