2.5 Features and Benefits
2.5.1 Connectivity
• 24 dual-speed ports for 10 or 100 Mbps Ethernet connections.
All 10/100 Mbps RJ45 ports support Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
• One independent 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet port.
• Two Gigabit combo ports—use either 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports
or Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slot (100 Mbps and
1000 Mbps)
• Auto-negotiation enables each RJ45 port to automatically select the
optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) and speed (10 Mbps,
100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps) if this feature is supported by the attached
device; otherwise the port can be configured manually.
• All RJ45 ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
• Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ45 ports: Category 3 or
better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps
connections, and Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000 Mbps connections.
• IEEE Std 802.3-2002 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet
compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, network
cards and switches from any vendor.
2.5.2 Expandability
• Supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, 1000BASE-LH, and other
SFP-compatible transceivers.
2.5.3 Performance
• Transparent bridging
• Aggregate bandwidth of up to 10.8 Gbps
• Packet capacity 8.9 Mpps (million packets per second)
• Switching table with a total of 16K MAC address entries and 4K IP
address entries
