1. Introduction
1-1. Overview of FGP-2472
FGP-2472, a 24 Fast Et 2 Gigabit L2 Managed Switch, implemented
24 10/100Mbps TP + 2 Gigabit dual media ports with TP/SFP, is a standard switch
that meets all IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet and Ethernet specifications.
The switch can be managed through RS-232 serial port via directly connection, or
through Ethernet port using Telnet or Web-based management unit, associated with
SNMP agent. With the SNMP agent, the network administrator can logon the switch
to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity in a friendly way. The overall
network management is enhanced and the network efficiency is also improved to
accommodate high bandwidth applications. In addition, the switch features
comprehensive and useful function such as QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning
Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Security, SNMP/RMON and
IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent software. It is suitable for both metro-
LAN and office application.
This PSE switch also complies with IEEE 802.3af, its advanced auto-sensing
algorithm enables providing power devices (PD) discovery, classification, current
limit, and other necessary functions. It also supports high safety with short circuit
protection and power-out auto-detection to PD.
10/100/1000Mbps TP is a standard Ethernet port that meets all IEEE
802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver
is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000Base-
SX/LX standards.
1000Mbps Single Fiber WDM (BiDi) transceiver is designed with an optic
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology that transports bi-directional
full duplex signal over a single fiber simultaneously.
For upgrading firmware, please refer to the Section 3-21 or Section 4-2-2 for
more details. The switch will not stop operating while upgrading firmware and after
that, the configuration keeps unchanged.
