With these switches, you can create high-speed connections to a server or network
backbone. For example, you can do the following:
•
Connect switches to each other with high-speed links
•
Link to high-speed servers
•
Provide 10G/1G/100M copper and 10G/1G fiber connectivity
•
Connect up to eight switches in a stack to create a high-port-capacity solution with
a single point of administration
The switch can be freestanding, stacked with other switches, or rack-mounted in a wiring
closet or equipment room. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency for
high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed,
which makes the switch also suitable for environments with a mix of Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices. For 10 and 100 Mbps
speeds, the ports can operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. For 1G and 10G
speeds, the ports always operate in full-duplex mode. For certain models, some
limitations exist for half-duplex mode (see RJ-45 ports, including 10GBASE-T RJ-45
ports on page 40).
Hardware features
The switch includes the following key hardware features:
•
Traffic ports in various configurations:

-
Eight, twelve, or twenty-four independent 10GBASE-T autosensing ports and
eight, twelve, or twenty-four independent 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports
- Sixteen independent 10GBASE-T PoE+ autosensing ports
-
1G/10G models with 10G uplinks:
-
Twenty-four or forty-eight 1000BASE-T autosensing ports, two dedicated
10GBASE-T ports, and two dedicated 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports
-
Twenty-four or forty-eight 1000BASE-T PoE+ autosensing ports, two dedicated
10GBASE-T ports, and two dedicated 10GBASE-X SFP+ ports
