This guide discusses how to install and use the DFE-2600 series dual-speed,
managed/unmanaged, stackable Ethernet/Fast Ethernet Hubs.
Models Covered
Unmanaged Models: DFE-2616, DFE-2616x, DFE-2624, DFE-2624x.
Managed Models: DFE-2616i, DFE-2616ix, DFE-2624i, DFE-2624ix.
All “ x” models include a switch module in Slot 1 of the rear panel. All
“ i” models are intelligent (that is, “ managed” ) hubs capable of managing
an entire hub stack. All “ ix” models have both features.
The model numbers also indicate how many ports a particular hub has,
thus: 2616 hubs have 16 ports and 2624 hubs have 24 ports.
Conventions
References in this manual to the DFE-2616, DFE-2616x, DFE-2624, DFE-
2624x; DFE-2616i, DFE-2616ix, DFE-2624i, and DFE-2624ix hubs are
frequently written simply as “ hub” or “ hubs” where the text applies to all
models. Model numbers are normally used only to differentiate between
them where necessary.
At points in this document, master models are differentiated by referring to,
“ DFE-2600 series master hubs.”
