Features and Benefits:
Hardware Features | Benefits |
---|---|
Fully-integrated Cloud-manageable Devices | Require no additional hardware (cloud keys, network portals, local servers, VPN or proxy appliances etc) to directly connect to the cloud and allow remote management. No additional hardware, no software or server to setup; nothing. Just connect and go. |
1000BASE-T Copper Ethernet PoE (GC108P)/PoE+ (GC510P/ GC510PP) connections | Support high-density VoIP, Surveillance and Wi-Fi AP deployments, scalable for future growth. Never face the risk of running out of PoE ports or PoE power budget. |
1000BASE-X SFP ports | Two dedicated Gigabit SFP ports Dedicated SFP ports provide fiber uplinks without sacrificing any downlink copper Gigabit Ethernet port, and across long distances. Support for Fiber and Copper modules. |
Front Cloud & Power LEDs | Quickly confirm switch has power and is connected to the cloud/internet. |
Silent or Low (GC510PP) Acoustics | Fanless design (all except GC510PP) allows for silent operation; temperature- and load-based fan-speed control (GC510PP) provides whisper-quiet operation; great for deployment in noise-sensitive environments. |
Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) | Maximum power reduction for ongoing operation cost savings. |

Comprehensive IPv6 Support for Management, ACLs and QoS | Build current network with future in mind. Ensure investment protection and a smooth migration to an IPv6-based network without switch replacement. |
IPv4 & IPv6 Static Routing | A simple way to provide segmentation of the network with internal routing through the switch - reserving the router for external traffic routing only, making the entire network more efficient. |
Robust security features:
|
Build a secured, converged network with all types of traffic by preventing external attacks and blocking malware while allowing secure access for authorised users. |
Comprehensive QoS features:
|
Advanced controls for optimized network performance and better delivery of mission-critical traffic such as voice and video. |
Auto-VoIP, Auto-Voice VLAN, and Auto-Video VLAN! | Automatic Voice over IP prioritization (Auto-VoIP) simplifies most complex multi-vendor IP telephone deployments either based on protocols (SIP, H.323 and SCCP) or on OUI bytes (default database and user-based OUIs) in the phone source MAC address, providing the best class of service to VoIP streams (both data and signaling) over other ordinary traffic by classifying traffic, and enabling correct egress queue configuration. Similarly, Auto-Video VLAN enables IGMP snooping to minimize broadcast streams. |
IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping | Facilitate fast receiver joins and leaves for multicast streams. Save cost and improve network efficiency by ensuring multicast traffic only reaches designated receivers without the need of an extra multicast router. |
Protected Ports | Ensure no exchange of unicast, broadcast, or multicast traffic between the protected ports on the switch, thereby improving the security of your converged network. This allows your sensitive phone phone conversations to stay private and your surveillance video clips can be forwarded to their designated storage device without leakage or alteration. |
DHCP Snooping | Ensure IP address allocation integrity by only allowing DHCP messages from trusted DHCP servers and dropping malformed DHCP messages with a port or MAC address mismatch. |
Dynamic VLAN Assignment (RADIUS) | IP phones and PCs can authenticate on the same port but under different VLAN assignment policies. Users are free to move around and enjoy the same level of network access regardless of their physical location on the network. |
Private VLAN | Private VLANs help reduce broadcast with added security. |
Port Trunking/Link Aggregation (LACP) | Build up bigger bandwidth to support aggregated uplink/downlink traffic or to provide redundant link(s). Aggregate up to 8 ports for 8Gbps connections. |
Loop Prevention and Auto-DoS Prevention | Detect and prevent (auto port shutdown) accidental network loops and protect against DoS attacks. |
PoE Timer and Scheduling (except GC108) | Allows IT administrators to increase network security, better utilize network resources and conserve energy by scheduling or remotely controlling on/off of PoE ports. |
Port Mirroring and Cable Test | Many-to-one port mirroring for better and quicker network diagnostics and troubleshooting. Cable test easily identifies bad Ethernet cables. |
Firmware Updates from Cloud | Direct cloud-to-device firmware updates, initiated and/or scheduled using the Insight app, all from the palm of your hand, anytime, anywhere! |
