CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your Switch.
This User’s Guide covers the following models: GS1100-8HP, GS1100-16, GS1100-24, GS1100-24E
and GS1100-10HP. 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.
The GS1100-8HP has four GbE PoE ports that can supply power to the connected PoE powered
devices.
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).
