LevelOne GEL-2871 network switch Managed L2+ Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) 1U Black

The LevelOne GEL-2871 is an intelligent 28-port L2+ managed gigabit switch with 24 RJ45 ports and 4 SFP fiber slots, designed for enterprise and large workgroup connectivity. It delivers non-blocking, wire-speed switching and supports comprehensive management methods including web-based GUI for IPv4/IPv6, console, SNMP and Telnet access.

Advantages

The GEL-2871 combines high port density with advanced Layer 2+ features such as IGMP snooping, VLANs based on ports/MAC/tags, IEEE 802.1D/w/s Spanning Tree, ACLs, LACP and IEEE 802.1p QoS. Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and storm control for broadcast/multicast/unknown unicast protection improve operational efficiency and network stability.

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19" rack or place it on a stable surface, connect power and attach copper or SFP fiber modules to the required ports. Access the web-based management interface via the default IP for initial configuration, or use console/SNMP/Telnet for advanced setup. Configure VLANs, link aggregation, QoS and ACLs according to network topology and traffic requirements, and monitor IGMP snooping and storm control settings to maintain stable multicast and broadcast behavior.
