This switch makes bandwidth bottlenecks a thing of the past for company networks: The LANCOM GS-2124 is a managed Gigabit Ethernet switch with 20x 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports and four combo ports for fiber-optic cable connections. Data transfer at gigabit rates appreciably increases network data rates. The GS-2124 integrates seamlessly into your existing infrastructure and benefits from monitoring with the free LANCOM Management Tools. Switch components such as the extremely quiet fan in LANCOM's customary high quality allow us to offer a 5-year warranty.

More Efficiency.

Intelligent switches like the LANCOM GS-2124 can re-route data packets when network glitches occur. The rapid spanning tree algorithm takes care of this so fast that users do not notice any delay. Just as important as the rapid spanning tree algorithm is the efficient control of bandwidth. This ensures that important applications such as IP telephony are constantly provided with ample bandwidth to avoid interruptions to conversations. When conducting bandwidth control, the LANCOM GS-2124 prioritizes the data traffic according to predefined criteria (e.g. voice data or certain ports). The LANCOM GS-2124 has four-level prioritization to control the sequence of incoming and outgoing data traffic.

More Security.

The LANCOM GS-2124 gives you the assurance that rogue clients cannot access your network via this switch. Configuring 802.1x access control for all ports ensures that unauthorized devices plugged into a switch port cannot gain access to the network. The LANCOM GS-2124 also features rigorous defenses against attacks such as MAC flooding: The MAC address learning limit can be set individually and provides reliable protection from attacks that would otherwise turn this switch into a dysfunctional bottle-neck.

More Management.

The LANCOM GS-2124 stands for easy operability without compromising on security. Managing the switch is easy with the clearly structured, user-friendly WEBconfig. Port mirroring allows the close observation of network traffic. And there's yet more you can do: With the free LANCOM Management Tools including LANconfig and LANmonitor, we offer not only direct access to the devices via WEBconfig but also the direct observation of the GS-2124's performance in the network. The GS-2124 also features virtual stacking management (VSM) that allows you to manage up to 16 switches at one IP address.

What’s more...

LANCOM switches complete your LANCOM network: In order for the wireless virtual networks (VLANs) supported by our access points to match-up seamlessly to an external, cabled IPsec-based VPN, the switches at the junctions must be able to recognize the different VLANs and forward the data accordingly. LANCOM Managed Switches work with LANCOM Advanced Routing and Forwarding to form this connection. You benefit from convergent, professional networking technology from a single source.

GS-2124 specifications

Lancom Systems GS-2124 is a versatile and robust network switch tailored for modern enterprise environments. This managed Ethernet switch is designed to meet the needs of organizations looking for high performance, reliability, and advanced management capabilities.

One of the standout features of the GS-2124 is its 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports, which provide ample bandwidth for connected devices. This allows for efficient data transmission across local area networks (LAN), making it particularly suitable for businesses with high data traffic demands. The switch also includes 4 SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) ports for fiber connectivity, enabling seamless integration into existing network infrastructures and facilitating long-distance connections.

Security is a top priority in contemporary networking, and the GS-2124 does not disappoint. It incorporates comprehensive security features such as IEEE 802.1X port-based access control and VLAN (Virtual LAN) support, which helps segment the network and control access effectively. This ensures that sensitive information is protected from unauthorized access, which is crucial for companies handling confidential data.

In terms of management, the GS-2124 supports various protocols, including SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and RMON (Remote Monitoring). These features allow network administrators to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the network easily, promoting a proactive approach to network maintenance. The user-friendly web interface further enhances the management experience, making it accessible even for those with limited technical expertise.

QoS (Quality of Service) capabilities enable the GS-2124 to prioritize network traffic, ensuring that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need for optimal performance. This is particularly beneficial in environments where voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing are utilized, as it minimizes latency and ensures a stable communication experience.

Energy efficiency is another critical aspect of the GS-2124. It adheres to IEEE 802.3az standards, which allows the switch to reduce power consumption during low traffic periods, contributing to lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint.

In summary, the Lancom Systems GS-2124 is a feature-rich managed switch that excels in performance, security, and scalability. Its combination of Gigabit Ethernet ports, fiber connectivity options, robust security features, management protocols, QoS capabilities, and energy efficiency make it an ideal choice for organizations seeking to enhance their network infrastructure. This switch is a solid investment for businesses aiming to optimize their networks while ensuring reliability and security.
