OVERVIEW
The ECS4610-24F is an intelligent Layer 3 switch with 22 1000BASE-X SFP
transceiver slots, two Gigabit combination ports that are comprised of two
RJ-45 ports and two SFP transceiver slots.
The switches include an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main
board, which supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the
stack.
This switch can easily tame your network with full support for Spanning Tree
Protocol, Multicast Switching, Virtual LANs, and IP routing. It brings order to
poorly performing networks by segregating them into separate broadcast
domains with IEEE 802.1Q compliant VLANs, empowers multimedia applications
with multicast switching and CoS services, and eliminates conventional router
bottlenecks.
This switch can be used to augment or completely replace slow legacy routers,
off-loading local IP traffic to release valuable resources for non-IP routing or
WAN access. With wire-speed performance for Layer 2 and Layer 3, this switch
can significantly improve the throughput between IP segments or VLANs.
