This setting determines whether or not GSW-1674T/2474T will be handling flow control. Set FlowCtrl to Enable for avoiding data transfer overflow. Or it sets to Disable; there is either no flow control or other hardware/software management.

When the port is set to forced mode, then the flow control will automatically set to Disable.

QoS:

In some ports that need to have a high priority to manage the data transfer, QoS should be change. The default setting of all port QoS is high, set the QoS to Normal where the ports that do not need to have a high priority of transferring data.

VLAN Settings (Virtual Local Area Network)

Group individual ports into a small “Virtual” network of their own to be independent of the other ports. To add a VLAN group, press “Add Group” button, the new VLAN configuration window will pop out, you can fill in the description in order to describe this VLAN Group, check on the port to be a member to this VLAN Group, and press “Apply” button to execute the setting.

GSW-1674T, GSW-2474T specifications

The LevelOne GSW-2474T and GSW-1674T are cutting-edge managed Gigabit Ethernet switches that are designed to meet the demanding networking needs of modern businesses. These switches are ideal for organizations that require robust performance, high reliability, and advanced features to support their growing networks.

The GSW-2474T is a 24-port gigabit switch that offers a combination of Layer 2 switching capabilities and extensive management features. It includes 24 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports, allowing for seamless integration of multiple devices with high-speed connectivity. Additionally, it supports IEEE 802.3x flow control, ensuring efficient data transmission and preventing packet loss. One of the key features of the GSW-2474T is its support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) configuration, which provides network segmentation and improved security by isolating traffic types within the same physical infrastructure.

On the other hand, the GSW-1674T is a versatile 16-port gigabit switch that shares many similarities with the GSW-2474T. It also supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections, making it a powerful option for smaller networks or branch offices. This switch is equipped with advanced features such as Quality of Service (QoS) functionality, which prioritizes network traffic and enhances the performance of critical applications like VoIP and streaming media.

Both models feature a user-friendly web-based interface for easy management and configuration, allowing network administrators to monitor traffic, configure settings, and troubleshoot issues with minimal effort. They also support SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), enabling integration with network management tools for real-time monitoring and reporting.

Another significant aspect of these switches is their energy efficiency. They comply with the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard, reducing power consumption during periods of low traffic without compromising performance.

In terms of reliability, both switches offer a robust metal housing for durability and ensure uninterrupted operation through a fanless design, resulting in silent operation. These features make the LevelOne GSW-2474T and GSW-1674T excellent choices for various networking environments, from small businesses to larger enterprise setups. Their feature-rich design, high performance, and reliability make them invaluable assets in any modern network infrastructure.
