Lancom Systems GS-2426 – Switch gestionado L2 Gigabit Ethernet, 24× Gigabit RJ-45, rack 1U, MAC 8000, entrada AC

Lancom Systems GS-2426 is a managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch in a 1U rack form factor with 24 Gigabit (10/100/1000) RJ‑45 ports and two combo TP/SFP uplink ports. The device provides an 8000‑entry MAC address table and supports common Layer 2 standards including IEEE 802.1s, IEEE 802.1x, energy efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) and PoE standards (IEEE 802.3af/at). The fanless design ensures silent operation while the black metal chassis and AC power input suit rack‑mounted office and data‑rack installations. Management options include a web‑based GUI, CLI and compatibility with centralized administration via LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC).

Advantages

The GS-2426 delivers managed Layer 2 functionality with a compact 1U rack footprint, enabling VLAN segmentation, QoS and ACL‑based access control for stable and predictable network behaviour. Its fanless design lowers acoustic disturbance and reduces moving parts, while two combo TP/SFP ports provide flexible uplink options for copper or fiber connections. An 8000‑entry MAC table supports moderate-sized layer‑2 domains and the included AC power supply simplifies rack installation.

Suitable for

• Office access switching for small to medium enterprise deployments
• Aggregation and edge connectivity in data racks
• VLAN segmentation and access control in multi‑department networks
• Noise‑sensitive environments such as meeting rooms or open offices

How to use

Install the GS-2426 in a standard 19" rack using the 1U mounting ears and connect the AC mains cable to an appropriate circuit. Connect access devices to the Gigabit RJ‑45 ports and configure uplinks using the combo TP/SFP ports as required. For basic setup, access the web‑based GUI via the switch IP address or use the CLI for scripted or advanced configurations. Use the LANCOM Management Cloud for centralized provisioning and firmware management across multiple devices.

Recommendations

For stable performance, segment traffic with VLANs and apply QoS policies for latency‑sensitive services. Where fiber uplinks are needed, use SFP modules compatible with the switchʼs combo ports. Ensure firmware is kept up to date via the LANCOM Management Cloud or local update procedures and avoid operating temperatures outside the manufacturerʼs specified range.
