Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Introduction
The GS1100 Series consists of the following models:
• GS1100-10HP
• GS1100-16
• GS1100-24E
• GS1100-24
The Switch is a 10/100/1000 Mbps multi-port switch that can be used to build high-performance
switched workgroup networks. The Switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-
speed networking. The Switch is fanless and designed for workgroups, departments or backbone
computing environments for small businesses.
All models are referred to as the “Switch” in this guide.
The following table describes the hardware features of the Switch by model.
The GS1100-10HP has eight GbE PoE ports that can supply power to the connected PoE powered
devices.
The GS1100-24 and GS1100-10HP have two SFP slots for uplink connection. Use SFP transceivers in these
slots for 100Mbps or 1Gbps connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
The Switch has a built-in algorithm that automatically assigns priority to received packets. It can operate
in low power idle mode in compliance with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
