The Level One GEL-1061 is an intelligent Layer 2 managed network switch developed for businesses, enterprise environments and larger workgroups requiring greater network control than an unmanaged or entry-level smart switch.

It combines eight Gigabit copper Ethernet ports with two Gigabit SFP interfaces, allowing conventional RJ45 network devices and fibre-optic uplinks to be incorporated into the same network infrastructure. LevelOne specifies non-blocking, wire-speed switching performance for the model.

8 Gigabit RJ45 Ports + 2 Gigabit SFP Uplinks

The GEL-1061 provides:

• 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports
• 2 × 1000BASE-X Gigabit SFP slots

The RJ45 interfaces are suitable for servers, computers, NAS systems, wireless access points, network printers, NVRs and other Gigabit Ethernet equipment.

The two SFP interfaces allow compatible fibre transceivers to be installed for fibre uplinks between switches, buildings, floors or network cabinets.

SFP transceiver modules are selected separately according to fibre type, wavelength and required transmission distance.

20Gbps Non-Blocking Switching Capacity

The GEL-1061 provides a 20Gbps switching backplane with approximately 14.9 Mpps throughput, enabling simultaneous high-speed traffic across its Gigabit interfaces.

This performance makes it suitable for:

• Business file transfers
• Server connectivity
• NAS storage
• Network backups
• IP surveillance networks
• Multimedia applications
• Wireless network backhaul
• Departmental networks

Complete Layer 2 Management

Unlike a Smart Lite switch, the GEL-1061 provides a more comprehensive set of Layer 2 management functions.

Network administrators can manage the switch through:

• Web-based management
• RJ45 Console interface
• SNMP
• Telnet

It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 network operation, making it suitable for current and evolving network infrastructures.

Advanced VLAN Support

The GEL-1061 provides comprehensive VLAN functionality including:

• IEEE 802.1Q Tagged VLAN
• Port-Based VLAN
• MAC-Based VLAN
• Port Isolation
• Up to 4K VLANs / VLAN IDs

VLANs allow an organisation to separate departments, users, surveillance equipment, servers, guest networks and other resources without requiring completely separate physical switching infrastructure.

Spanning Tree Protocol

The switch supports:

• IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol – STP
• IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol – RSTP
• IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol – MSTP

These protocols help prevent Layer 2 switching loops while allowing redundant network links to be deployed where appropriate.

LACP Link Aggregation

IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Control Protocol – LACP allows multiple compatible Ethernet links to be combined into a logical connection.

The GEL-1061 supports up to 8 LACP trunks, allowing compatible switches, servers and other equipment to use aggregated connections for increased aggregate bandwidth and network redundancy.

Advanced Quality of Service

The switch supports IEEE 802.1p Quality of Service with 8 hardware priority queues per port.

Traffic classification can be performed through IEEE 802.1p Class of Service and IPv4/IPv6 ToS/DSCP information, while ingress and egress rate controls allow administrators to manage available network bandwidth.

This is useful for prioritising applications such as:

• VoIP
• Video conferencing
• IP surveillance
• Streaming
• Business-critical network traffic

IGMP Snooping V1/V2/V3

The GEL-1061 supports IGMP Snooping versions 1, 2 and 3 for more efficient handling of multicast traffic.

Instead of unnecessarily broadcasting multicast traffic across all ports, the switch can intelligently forward multicast streams toward devices that have requested them.

This is particularly beneficial for:

• IPTV
• Multicast video
• Surveillance systems
• Enterprise multimedia networks

Network Security

The GEL-1061 includes several Layer 2 security functions, including:

• Access Control Lists – ACL
• IEEE 802.1X Authentication
• Port Security
• MAC Address Filtering
• IP Source Guard
• System Password Protection
• SSH
• DHCP Snooping
• DHCP Snooping Option 82

These functions provide administrators with greater control over which users and devices can access network resources.

Storm Control

Storm Control protects the network against excessive:

• Broadcast traffic
• Multicast traffic
• Unknown unicast traffic

This helps prevent abnormal network traffic from consuming the available switching bandwidth.

Port Mirroring

The GEL-1061 supports Port Mirroring and Remote Mirroring, allowing traffic to be copied to a designated monitoring interface.

This is useful for:

• Network troubleshooting
• Packet analysis
• Security monitoring
• Traffic diagnostics

9K Jumbo Frames

Support for 9K jumbo frames helps improve network efficiency during large data transfers between compatible Gigabit Ethernet devices.

This feature can be particularly beneficial for:

• NAS storage
• Servers
• Backup applications
• Large file transfers
• Multimedia networks

8K MAC Address Table

The GEL-1061 supports an 8K MAC address table, allowing it to efficiently learn and maintain information about devices connected throughout the network.

Enterprise Network Monitoring

Additional monitoring and administration functionality includes:

• SNMP
• RMON
• Event and error logging
• Flash logging
• NTP / SNTP
• Firmware upgrades via HTTP, TFTP or FTP

Enhanced Electrical Protection

The current GEL-1061 specification provides:

• 6kV Surge Protection
• 6kV Contact ESD Protection
• 8kV Air ESD Protection

These protections improve resilience against electrical disturbances and electrostatic discharge in professional networking environments.

Network Standards

• IEEE 802.3 – 10BASE-T
• IEEE 802.3u – 100BASE-TX
• IEEE 802.3ab – 1000BASE-T
• IEEE 802.3z – 1000BASE-X

Ideal For

The Level One GEL-1061 is suitable for:

• Small and medium businesses
• Enterprise networks
• Large workgroups
• Managed office networks
• Server and NAS networks
• IP CCTV surveillance infrastructure
• NVR installations
• Fibre network uplinks
• Inter-floor network connections
• Network cabinet interconnection

Important Note

The Level One GEL-1061 is a non-PoE switch. Its eight RJ45 Ethernet ports transmit network data but do not supply Power over Ethernet to connected IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones or other PoE equipment.

The two SFP interfaces require compatible SFP transceiver modules, selected separately according to the required fibre type, wavelength and transmission distance.
