2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Managed 24-Port 10/100/1000 Ethernet Switch with 2 SFP (Small Fiber Port) Dual Media meets all IEEE
802.3/802.3ab/802.3u/802.3x/802.1q Gigabit and Fast Ethernet specifications. It has 24 10/100/1000-Mbps
twisted-pair ports and 2 Gigabit twisted-pair/SFP fiber slots for fiber modules. Connect 24 10/100/1000 twisted-
pair devices, 23 10/100/1000 twisted-pair and one fiber device, or 22 10/100/1000 twisted-pair and two fiber
devices to the switch. Manage the switch through an Ethernet port using Web-based management. The network
administrator can logon to the switch to monitor, configure, and control each port’s activity.
Ports 23 and 24 autodetect two media types: 10/100/1000-Mbps twisted pair and 1000-Mbps Small Fiber Port
(SFP) fiber. An SFP fiber transceiver module is used for high-speed connection expansion. The 1000-Mbps SFP
fiber transceivers are Gigabit Ethernet ports that fully comply with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000BASE-SX/LX
standards. The switch is compatible with the following optional fiber modules.
• LC Multimode Fiber Module (LGB200C-MLC) works with 850-nm multimode fiberoptic cable that’s up to
960 feet (300 m) long
• LC Single-Mode Fiber Module (LGB200C-SLC10) works with 1310-nm single-mode fiberoptic cable that’s
up to 6.3 miles (10 km) long
• LC Single-Mode Fiber Module (LGB200C-SLC30) works with 1550-nm single-mode fiberoptic cable that’s
up to 18.9 miles (30 km) long
The switch features QoS (Quality of Service), VLAN, and trunking. QoS enables the switch to support the ToS
field of an IP header (equal DSCP low 3 bits) on Layer 3 of network framework and six kinds of special network
transmission events on Layer 4. With VLAN, the switch supports port-based VLAN and IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN.
It also supports 24 active VLANs and VLAN ID 1–4094. Port trunking allows one or more links to be aggregated
together to form a Link Aggregation Group by the static setting.

The 24 10/100/1000-Mbps twisted-pair ports and 2 Gigabit twisted-pair/SFP fiber slots for fiber modules are on
the switch’s front panel. The LED display area on the panel’s left side contains a Power LED, 24 10/100/
1000-Mbps twisted-pair ports LEDs, 24 Link/Act LEDs, and 2 1000-Mbps SFP fiber ports 23–24 LEDs. The
numbered components in Figure 2-1 correspond to the descriptions in Table 2-1.
