Introduction
TheG‐SeriesEthernetswi tchisamodular,high‐densityswitchdesignedtohandlenetworking
demandsincommercialandinstitutionalsettings,includingeducation,government,andfinancial
environments.
Overview
TheG‐SeriesproductfamilyincludestheG3G124‐24,G3G124‐24P,andG3G170‐24basesystems.
Thesesystemsprovideeither24‐10/1 00/1000copperportsandtwo1‐GigabitSmallFormFactor
Pluggablefiber‐optictransceiver(SFP)comboports,or24SFPports,inthelowerleftfrontpanel
(fixedSlot1).
PoweroverEthernet(PoE) isfactoryinstalledontheG3G124‐24Pbasechassis.The
basesystemsalsofeaturethreefrontaccessI/OslotsforinstallingoptionaladditionalIOMs.
Currently,therearefourG‐SeriesproductfamilyIOMsavailablefortheswitch:a24‐10/100/1000
copperportand2comboport
SFPmodule(similartothebasesystemfrontpanelinterface
configuration),a24‐portSFPmodule,a2‐port10GigabitXFPmoduleanda4‐port10GigabitXFP
module.
TheG‐Seriesswitchcanbeplacedasafreestandingunitorinstalledintoastandard48.26‐
