Features and Benefits
Connectivity
• 24 10/100BASE-T ports, 2 1000BASE-T ports, and 2 Gigabit combination ports
(RJ-45/SFP).
• Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum
communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the
attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually.
• RJ-45 network ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
• Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3, 4 or 5 for
10 Mbps connections, Category 5 for 100 Mbps connections, and Category 5 or
better for 1000 Mbps connections.
• IEEE 802.3-2005 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures
compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any
vendor.
Expandability
• 2 Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots (shared with 1000BASE-T
ports) support 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, and
1000BASE-T SFP transceivers.
Performance
• Transparent bridging
• Switching table with a total of 8K MAC address entries
• Provides store-and-forward switching
• Supports wire-speed filtering and forwarding
• Supports flow control (back pressure for half duplex, IEEE 802.3x for full duplex).
Management
• “At-a-glance” LEDs for easy troubleshooting
• Network management agent:
- Manages switch in-band or out-of-band
- Supports console, Telnet, SSH, SNMP v1/v2c/v3, RMON (4 groups) and
web-based interface
