1. Introduction
The CWGE2FE24MODMS 26 Port Combo Managed Switch is a modular switch that can
be used to build high-performance switched workgroup networks. This switch is a
store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is
targeted at workgroup, department or backbone computing environments.
The CWGE2FE24MODMS 26 Port Combo Managed Switch features a “store-and-forward”
switching scheme. This allows the switch to auto-learn and store source Address in an
8K-entry MAC Address table.
MDI (Medium Dependent Interface) Port is also called an "uplink port". The MDI port does
not cross transmit and receive lines that is done by the regular ports (MDI -X ports) that
connect to the end stations. In general, MDI means connecting to another Hub or Switch
while MDIX means connecting to a workstation or PC. Therefore, Auto MDI/MDIX means
that you can connect to another Switch or workstation without changing non-crossover or
crossover cabling.
The CWGE2FE24MODMS 26 Port Combo Managed Switch has 3-module slots. The user
can purchase the modules in accordance with their needs that give flexibility on network
applications.
