Introduction

1
The V2H124-24FX includes two slots on the front panel for slide-in 100BASE-FX,
1000BASE-T, 1000BASE-T/SFP, or stacking modules. The stacking module allows
up to eight units to be connected together and managed from a master unit using
one IP address.
Network Management Options
With a comprehensive array of LEDs, the V2H124-24FX switch provides “at a
glance” monitoring of network and port status. The switch can be managed over the
network with a web browser or Telnet application, or via a direct connection to the
console port. The switch includes a built-in network management agent that allows it
to be managed in-band using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols. It also
has an RS-232 serial port (DB-9 connector) on the front panel for out-of-band
management. A PC may be connected to this port for configuration and monitoring
out-of-band via a null-modem serial cable. (See Appendix B for wiring options.)
For a detailed description of the advanced features, refer to the Configuration Guide.
Description of Hardware
100BASE-FX Ports
The V2H124-24FX switch base unit contains 24 100BASE-FX MT-RJ multimode
fiber ports.
Each of these ports is set at 100 Mbps full duplex. Devices connected to these ports
must be set to operate in full-duplex mode.
Each port also supports IEEE 802.3x auto-negotiation of flow control, so the switch
can automatically prevent port buffers from becoming saturated.
