Allied Telesis AT-GS950/8-10 – 8-Port WebSmart Gigabit Switch with SFP

Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-GS950/8-10 is an 8-port WebSmart Gigabit Ethernet switch with two combo SFP slots, designed for small-to-medium businesses and access-layer deployments that require basic Layer 2 management without the cost of a full managed platform. Web-based management provides control over VLANs, QoS, port mirroring, and other traffic policies through a browser interface with no additional software required. The two combo SFP slots allow fiber uplinks to aggregation switches or remote closets when copper distances are insufficient. This switch bridges the gap between unmanaged convenience and full managed complexity, making it well-suited for IT-conscious SMB environments.

Description

The AT-GS950/8-10 delivers 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports for wire-speed Gigabit connectivity to connected workstations, IP phones, cameras, and access points. Two combo SFP slots support standard SFP transceivers for fiber or additional copper uplinks, adding flexibility for mixed-media networks. The web-based management interface allows administrators to configure 802.1Q VLANs for traffic segmentation, 802.1p/DSCP QoS for voice and video prioritization, and port mirroring for network analysis — all without a CLI. Port-based and 802.1Q-tagged VLANs are supported to isolate traffic between departments or device classes. Flow control (802.3x) prevents packet loss during high-throughput bursts between connected devices. The switch supports auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X on all copper ports, eliminating cabling concerns during installation. A compact form factor suits desktop placement in workgroup settings or shallow rack installations. The AT-GS950/8-10 is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Allied Telesis reseller.

Key Features

• 8x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports — wire-speed Gigabit to every connected device with auto-negotiation on all copper ports
• 2x combo SFP slots — supports fiber or copper SFP uplinks for flexible connectivity to aggregation or remote switches
• Web-based management — browser-accessible configuration interface requires no client software or CLI knowledge
• 802.1Q VLAN support — traffic segmentation between departments, device types, or security zones
• QoS (802.1p/DSCP) — prioritizes latency-sensitive traffic such as VoIP and video conferencing
• Port mirroring — copies traffic from monitored ports to an analysis port for network diagnostics
• Auto MDI/MDI-X on all copper ports — no crossover cables needed between any pair of devices
• Compact form factor — fits desktop workgroup environments or low-depth rack installations
