INSTALLATION

This section describes the functionalities of GSW-2401's components and guides how to 
install it on the desktop or shelf. Basic knowledge of networking is assumed. Please read 
this chapter completely before continuing.

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.
