2.1 Product Description
The PLANET Gigabit Ethernet Switch is 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit
Ethernet Switch with 16/24 ports respectively, and non-blocking wire-
speed performance. With 32/48Gbps internal switching fabric, the
Gigabit Ethernet Switch can handle extremely large amounts of data in
a secure topology linking to a backbone or high capacity servers.
The Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 8K MAC Address table and provides
340/400/500K bytes buffer memory. The Gigabit Ethernet Switch offers
wire-speed packets transfer performance without risk of packet loss.
The high data throughput of Gigabit Ethernet Switch makes it ideal
for most Gigabit environments, especially while network upgrades to a
Gigabit environment.
All RJ-45 copper interfaces support 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-Negotiation
for optimal speed detection through RJ-45 Category 6, 5 or 5e cables.
Support standard for Auto-MDI/MDI-X that can detect the type of
connection to any Ethernet device without requiring special straight or
crossover cables, the GSW-2416 provide 24 10/100/1000Base-T ports
and together with 16-SFP(Small Form-factor Pluggable). Shared with
port #9 to port #24, make the GSW-2416 be a 16-Port Gigabit fiber
Switch with mini-GBIC fiber-optic module installed that shall provide
long distance fiber connectivity.
2.1.1 Product Overview
The PLANET Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 16/24 RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps
ports for high-speed network connectivity. The Gigabit Ethernet Switch
can also automatically identify and determine the correct transmission
speed and half/full duplex mode of the attached devices with its 16/24
ports. The Gigabit port with jumbo frame feature supported, can handle
