LANCOM GS-2412
12-Port Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch
Overview
Intelligent networking is essential for smaller business premises, professional home offices, or flexible sub-distribution in branch office infrastructures. The LANCOM GS-2412 Gigabit access switch connects up to twelve devices via ten Gigabit Ethernet ports and two SFP ports. It serves as a powerful solution when Layer 2+ switch management is required but no PoE power supply is needed. Its fanless design ensures silent operation and greater reliability due to the absence of moving parts.
The LANCOM GS-2412 can be managed via a web-based GUI and CLI, or centrally controlled via the LANCOM Management Cloud (LMC) for automated network management.
The LANCOM GS-2412 is a compact, fanless network switch with ten 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two SFP ports on the front panel. It features a robust metal housing and indicator LEDs for each port.

Energy Efficiency (Green Ethernet)
- Energy detection: Energy efficiency according to IEEE 802.3az. Automatically turns off power on Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 port when detecting link down or idle of client. Active mode is resumed without loss of any packets when the switch detects the link up.
- Cable length detection: Adjusts the signal strength based on the cable length, reducing power consumption for short cables.
Layer 2 Switching
- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) / Rapid STP / Multiple STP: Standard Spanning Tree according to IEEE 802.1d with fast convergence support of IEEE 802.1w (RSTP); using Multiple Spanning Tree instances by default according to IEEE 802.1s (MSTP).
