2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 10-, 26-, or 48-Port PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco is an affordable managed switch that is a key part of a reliable infrastructure for
your business network. This switch delivers the kind of intelligent features you need:
• to improve the availability of your critical business applications;
• to protect your sensitive information; and
• to optimize your network bandwidth.
Easy to set up and use, the PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco provides stable and quality performance to support all types of data, voice,
security, and wireless technologies. It provides the ideal combination of affordability and capabilities for entry-level networking for small
businesses or home office applications and helps create a more efficient, better-connected workforce.

NOTE: The 26- and 48-Port PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Ecoes’ front panels are similar to the 10-Port Switch. All three switches have the
same Power LED and Reset/Default. The LPB2810A has (8) 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, (2) TP and 100/1G SFP ports, (16) switch TP
LEDs, and (1) RJ-45 console port. The LPB2826A has (20) 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, (4) dual-media UTP/SFP ports, (2) SFP ports,
(40) switch TP LEDs, and (1) RJ-45 console port. The LPB2848A has (44) 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, (4) dual-media UTP/SFP ports,
(88) switch TP LEDs, and (1) DB9 console port.
2.2. Features
• Switch Architecture: This switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric, which enables wire-speed transport of multiple
packets at low latency on all ports simultaneously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the
bandwidth of each connection. It 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 through-
out the network.
• Network Management Options: The switch can also be managed over the network with a Web browser or Telnet application. The switch
includes a built-in network management agent that allows it to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It
also has an RJ-45 console port connector on the front panel for out-of-band management. A PC may be connected to this port for
configuration and monitoring out-of-band via a null-modem serial cable. (For more information on cabling, see Chapter 9: Cables.)
NOTE: For a detailed description of the management features, refer to the User’s Manual.
