mix of Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet devices.The 10/100 Mbps ports
can operate in half-duplex or full-duplex mode.The 10G/1G ports always operate in full-duplex mode.
Hardware Features
The switch includes the following key hardware features:
• Traffic ports in various configurations:
- Full 10G models.. Eight, twelve, or twenty-four independent 10GBASE-T autosensing ports and
eight, twelve, or twenty-four independent 10GBASE-X SFP+ 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
- Full 10G models with combo ports.Twenty, or forty-four independent 10GBASE-T autosensing
ports and four RJ45/SFP+ ports
• Support from 128G to 960G switching fabric (all ports line-rate), depending on the model.
• One out-of-band 1G Ethernet port.
• One RJ-45 RS232 console port..
• One mini USB console port.
• One regular USB port for connection to a storage device.
• One or two power supply unit (PSU) bays for small form factor modular PSUs. For the two-PSU bay
models, the second PSU can support 1+1 redundancy.
• Support for stacking on any 10G port.
• Half-width or full-width model.
• Full compatibility with IEEE standards:
- IEEE 802.3i (10BASE-T)
- IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
- IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)
- IEEE 802.3an (10GBASE-T)
- IEEE 802.3z (1000BASE-X)
- IEEE 802.3 Clause 49 (10GBASE-LR and 10GBASE-SR)
- IEEE802.3ae (10GBASE Ethernet)
- IEEE802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
- IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
- IEEE 802.1af (PoE)
- IEEE 802.1at (PoE+)
