Allied Telesis AT-GS950/24-10 24PORT 10/100/1000BT PLUS 4 SFP WEBSMART SWITCH

Product Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-GS950/24-10 is a 24-port WebSmart gigabit switch delivering Layer 2 managed switching for workgroup and edge network deployments. As the entry-level model in the GS950 series, this Allied Telesis GS950 24-port WebSmart gigabit switch provides all 24 ports as 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 interfaces — no PoE, no fixed SFP uplinks — making it a cost-focused choice for environments that require simplified browser-based management without the overhead of a full CLI-managed platform. Network administrators seeking an affordable 24-port gigabit WebSmart switch with web-based VLAN and QoS control will find the GS950/24-10 a direct fit for small enterprise edge and workgroup closets.

Product Description

The AT-GS950/24-10 bridges the gap between unmanaged simplicity and fully managed complexity by offering a curated set of Layer 2 management features through a web browser interface. The switch operates in a fanless, silent design suitable for office environments and wiring closets where acoustic noise is a concern. Its non-blocking switching architecture ensures that all 24 gigabit ports operate at wire speed simultaneously, eliminating congestion at the access layer. Management capabilities include port-based VLANs for traffic segmentation, IEEE 802.1p QoS for prioritizing latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP, port trunking and link aggregation for bandwidth bonding, port mirroring for traffic analysis, and Spanning Tree Protocol to prevent Layer 2 loops. The switch supports standard IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3ab for 10/100/1000Base-T auto-negotiation and IEEE 802.3x flow control. Wall-mount and 19-inch rack-mount brackets are included, providing flexible physical deployment. This Allied Telesis 24-port gigabit WebSmart managed switch is an ideal fit for network engineers who need policy control at the edge without the licensing costs of a fully managed platform.

Key Features

• 24 x 10/100/1000Base-T RJ45 Ports — Full gigabit auto-negotiation on all 24 access ports with no shared SFP/copper combo slots consuming port count.
• WebSmart (Browser-Based) Management — Simplified GUI management covering VLANs, QoS, trunking, port mirroring, and diagnostics without requiring CLI expertise.
• Non-Blocking Architecture — Wire-speed forwarding across all ports prevents congestion in demanding workgroup environments.
• Fanless Silent Design — No moving parts means zero acoustic noise, suitable for open office or quiet lab deployments.
• IEEE 802.1p QoS — Priority queuing for time-sensitive traffic including VoIP and video conferencing.
• Port Trunking / Link Aggregation — Aggregate multiple links for uplink bandwidth bonding and redundancy.
• Spanning Tree Protocol — Loop prevention at the access layer for stable network topologies.
• Wall and Rack Mountable — Ships with both wall-mount and 19-inch rack-mount brackets for flexible installation.

Typical Applications

• Small enterprise and branch office workgroup access layer switching
• Wiring closet deployments requiring web-managed gigabit connectivity without PoE
• Education and SMB environments seeking low-cost managed gigabit switching
• Network edge segments where silent fanless operation is required
• Environments already supplying separate PoE injectors or non-PoE endpoints

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the AT-GS950/24-10 have SFP uplink ports?

No. The AT-GS950/24-10 is the base model in the GS950 series and provides 24 x RJ45 gigabit ports only, with no SFP slots. If you require SFP fiber uplinks, consider the AT-GS950/28 or AT-GS950/28PS models which include SFP combo ports.

Q: Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

No. This model does not include PoE capability. It is designed for environments where endpoints are powered independently or via separate PoE injectors. The AT-GS950/28PS is the PoE variant in the GS950 series.

Q: What is the difference between WebSmart and a fully managed switch?

WebSmart switches provide a simplified subset of management features accessible through a web browser interface, including VLANs, QoS, port trunking, and diagnostics. They do not provide a full CLI, SNMP management, or the advanced routing and security features found on Allied Telesis x series fully managed switches.

Q: Can the GS950/24-10 be rack mounted?

Yes. The unit ships with both 19-inch rack mount brackets and wall mount brackets, giving installation flexibility in standard network cabinets or directly on a wall surface.

Q: Is the switch fanless?

Yes. The AT-GS950/24-10 uses a fanless design with passive cooling, producing zero acoustic noise during operation. This makes it suitable for office environments and quiet wiring closets.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-GS950/24-10?

The AT-GS950/24-10 is available directly from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net, an authorized Allied Telesis reseller.
