2.1 Product Description
The PLANET GSW-2401 is a 24-port 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Switch with non-blocking
wire-speed performance. With 48Gbps internal switching fabric, the GSW-2401 can
handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a
backbone or high-power servers. The GSW-2401 could recognize up to 8K MAC Address
table and provides 400 KB on-chip frame buffer.
The GSW-2401 offers wire-speed packet transfer performance without risk of packet loss.
The high data throughput, it can provide the most convenient for user to upgrade their
network to Gigabit environment.
2.1.1 Product Overview
PLANET GSW-2401 is a Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 24 RJ-45 10/100/1000Mbps ports
for high-speed network connectivity. The GSW-2401 can also automatically identify and
determine the correct transmission speed and half/full duplex mode of the attached
devices with its 24 ports. The Gigabit ports with jumbo frame feature supported, can
handle extremely large amounts of data transmission in a secure topology linking to a
backbone or high-power servers.
This products also supports store-and-forward forwarding scheme to ensure low latency
and high data integrity, eliminates unnecessary traffic and relieves congestion on critical
network paths. With an intelligent address recognition algorithm, GSW-2401 could
recognize up to 8K different MAC address and enables filtering and forwarding at full
wire speed.
