Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 10-Gigabit Web Smart Switch - 10-Port is an affordable managed switch that provides a reliable infrastructure for your
business network. The switch delivers the intelligent features you need to improve the availability of your critical business
applications, protect your sensitive information, and optimize your network bandwidth to deliver information and applications
more effectively. Easy to set up and use, it provides the ideal combination of affordability and capabilities for entry-level
networking, including small business or enterprise applications.
The LGB5510A switch has 10 ports for 10-Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. However, unlike other entry-level switching solutions that
provide advance managed network capabilities only in the costliest models, the LGB5510A switch supports advanced security
management capabilities and network features, including data, voice, security, and wireless technologies. The switches are easy to
deploy and configure.
2.2 Features
• Has ten (8) 10-Gigabit twisted-pair ports and (2) slots for SFP+ modules.
• Supports data, voice, and wireless technologies.
• Easy to deploy and configure.
• Performs wire-speed, non-blocking switching to transport multiple packets at wire speed and low latency on all ports
simultaneously.
• All ports operate in full-duplex mode, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
• Uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data integrity. With this technology, the entire packet must be received
into a buffer and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from being propagated throughout the
network.
• The switch can also be managed over the network with a web browser application.
NOTE: For a detailed description of the management features, refer to the user’s manual.
