PLANET IGS-4215-16T4X Industrial L2/L4 16-Port Managed Switch content_copy

The PLANET IGS-4215-16T4X is an industrial-grade L2+ Managed Switch with integrated Layer-3 static routing, specifically designed for demanding environments in manufacturing, automation, or edge networks. The device features 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports and four 10G SFP+ ports, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as IP video surveillance or industrial communication networks. The robust aluminium housing with protection rating IP30 ensures high mechanical stability and protection against dust and light splashing water, enabling reliable operation even in harsh operating environments. The operating temperature ranges from -40 to +75 °C, allowing use in extreme climatic conditions. The device is fanless, designed to avoid noise interference and extend service life.

Applications
This switch is designed for industrial networks requiring high reliability, fast data transmission, and robust hardware. Typical use cases include factory networks, automation systems, industrial video surveillance, or decentralized edge networks. The combination of 16 Gigabit ports and four 10G SFP+ slots enables a flexible network architecture, allowing both end devices and uplinks to be connected with high bandwidth. Support for IPv4/IPv6 Dual-Stack Management makes it suitable for modern, heterogeneous networks.

Functions and Features in Detail
The PLANET IGS-4215-16T4X offers extensive networking functions at Layer-2 and Layer-3. These include VLANs according to 802.1Q, Q-in-Q, Voice VLANs, Private VLANs, and Protocol VLANs, enabling efficient network segmentation. Link Aggregation supports up to 8 groups with up to 8 ports each, increasing bandwidth and providing redundancy. Spanning-Tree protocols such as STP, RSTP, and MSTP prevent network loops, while BPDU Guard provides additional protection. Support for IGMP/MLD Snooping enables efficient multicast management. The device supports static routing with up to 32 entries for IPv4 and IPv6, forming a foundation for simpler routing structures in industrial networks.

Technology Explained Simply
The 16 RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000BASE-T, enabling flexible connection of end devices. The four 10G SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1G, 2.5G, and 100M SFP modules, allowing connection to older or less powerful devices. The USB-C console enables direct, secure management of the switch, especially during commissioning or network troubleshooting. Security features include 802.1X authentication, ACLs (for IPv4, IPv6, and MAC addresses), DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, ARP Inspection, Port Security, and DoS detection. These measures protect the network against unauthorized access and attacks. Management is performed via web interface, CLI (Telnet/SSH), and SNMPv1/v2c/v3, with SSHv2 and TLSv1.3 ensuring secure communication. Additional tools such as UNI-NMS, CloudViewerPro, and Smart Discovery Utility support network monitoring and diagnostics.

Compatibility and Accessories
The SFP+ ports are backward compatible with 1G, 2.5G, and 100M SFP modules, enabling flexible use. Support for Modbus TCP allows integration into industrial control systems. The SFP-DDM function enables monitoring of SFP modules, including temperature, voltage, and signal strength. DI/DO alarms provide an interface for external alarm indication or processing. Power supply is via a redundant input with 9–48V DC or 24V AC, increasing availability. Maximum power consumption is 15.36 W for DC and 15.0 W for AC.

Mounting and Installation
The device is housed in a compact aluminium enclosure with dimensions 86 × 135 × 152 mm and a weight of 1.4 kg. It is shock- and vibration-resistant, making it suitable for use in moving or vibrating environments. The fanless design reduces maintenance requirements and noise generation. Installation is typically in enclosures or on walls, with power supplied via the redundant input. Management via USB-C console, web interface, or CLI simplifies commissioning.

Operational Advantages
The PLANET IGS-4215-16T4X offers high operational reliability through redundant power supply, fanless design, and robust mechanical construction. Support for ERPS ring with a recovery time under 450 ms ensures rapid network restoration in case of failures. Integrated diagnostic functions such as cable fault diagnosis, ICMP Ping, SNMP Traps, and Syslog support network monitoring. The dual firmware function enables secure firmware updates without interrupting operations. The combination of L2+ functions, static routing, and comprehensive security features makes this switch a powerful solution for industrial networks.
