Introduction
ThischapterintroducestheC2G124‐24,C2G124‐48,andC2H124‐48stackableswitches.
Overview
TheC2G124‐24,C2G124‐48,andC2H124‐48arestackableGigabitEthernetswitches,
whichcanbeadaptedandscaledtohelpmeetyournetworkneeds.Theseswitches
provideamanagementplatformanduplinktoanetworkbackboneforastackedgroupof
uptoeightC2switches.Thefourbuilt‐in
SmallFormPluggable(SFP)int erfaceslots
provideyouwiththeoptionofinstallingMini‐GBICsfor1000BASE‐Tcompliantcopper
connectionsor1000BASE‐SX/LXfiber‐opticconnections.
TheswitchesalsosupporttheuseofaredundantDCpowersupplytohelpprevent
