Managed L2+ Gigabit Ethernet switch PLANET GS-5220-8P2T2S

The PLANET GS-5220-8P2T2S is a managed L2+ Gigabit Ethernet switch with 10 Gigabit RJ-45 ports, 2 SFP slots and full PoE+ support. Each of the eight PoE-enabled ports delivers up to 30 W (IEEE 802.3at), providing a combined PoE budget of up to 240 W. The switch supports IPv4 and IPv6, Layer 3 static routing, a 24 Gbit/s switching capacity and an 8k MAC address table, and is designed for rack mounting in a 1U form factor for small to medium business networks, surveillance and VoIP deployments.

Advantages

The GS-5220-8P2T2S integrates high-performance Gigabit switching with centralized PoE power management, enabling data and power over a single cable to reduce deployment cost and installation time. It supports comprehensive Layer 2 features (link aggregation, Q-in-Q, MSTP, QoS, bandwidth control, IGMP/MLD snooping) and security functions (ACLs, 802.1x, private VLAN, DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, DAI). Dual-speed SFP slots with SFP-DDM and remote secure management (SSH/SSL/SNMPv3) add flexibility and operational visibility.

Suitable for

• IP surveillance systems with multiple PoE cameras (IR, PTZ, speed dome, box cameras with heaters/fans)
• VoIP phone deployments requiring PoE+
• Small and medium enterprise LANs needing VLAN routing (IPv4/IPv6) and secure access control
• Wireless AP aggregation and branch office uplinks using SFP transceivers

• Routing: Layer 3 static routing, IPv4/IPv6 support
• Management: web GUI, CLI (console/Telnet), SNMP v1/v2, SNMPv3, SSH, SSL
• Form factor: 1U rack-mountable; weight: 2 kg

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied brackets or place it on a stable shelf. Connect network devices to the RJ-45 ports and insert appropriate SFP transceivers into the SFP slots if fiber links are required. Enable PoE on the required ports via the web GUI or CLI and assign IP addresses or configure DHCP for management access. Use VLAN and IPv4/IPv6 routing features to segment traffic and apply ACLs, QoS and security features as needed. Monitor SFP status with the SFP-DDM function and use SNMP or log alerts for event monitoring.

Recommendations

For surveillance and VoIP environments, enable PoE scheduling and PD Alive Check to reduce downtime and support scheduled reboots of devices. Use PoE schedule to disable power during non-operational hours for energy savings. Choose SFP transceivers that match the required distance and fiber type, and enable secure management (SSH/SSL/SNMPv3) when the switch is accessible from external networks.
