The optional 10GBASE slide-in modules include their own integrated LED indicators
on each module’s front panel. The following table describes the LEDs.
Features and Benefits
Connectivity
• 24 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for protection
of your investment in legacy LAN equipment.
• Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum
communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the
attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually.
• RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.
• Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3 or better for
10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, and
Category Category 5, 5e, 6 or better for 1000 Mbps connections.
• IEEE 802.3-2005 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3ae
10 Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs,
network cards and switches from any vendor.
• Provides stacking capability via high-speed serial ports with 48 Gbps stacking
bandwidth. Up to 8 units can be stacked together.
Expandability
• Supports 1000BASE-SX, 1000BASE-LX, and 1000BASE-LH SFP transceivers.
• Optional 10GBASE single-port expansion module with an XFP transceiver slot.
• Optional 10GBASE-T single-port expansion module supports RJ-45 connection
using Category 5e, 6, 6a or 7 twisted-pair cable.
Performance
• Transparent bridging.
• Aggregate duplex bandwidth of up to 88 Gbps for the GTL-2691.
• Switching table with a total of 16K MAC address entries and 2K IPv4 address
entries or 1K IPv6 address entries
