Ten 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Gigabit Ethernet switching RJ-45 ports
•
Two GBIC ports that can be used for a variety of fiber or copper connections
•
Full Layer 2 switch management including:
o
SNMP
o
RMON (groups 1,2,3 and 9)
o
IEEE 802.1Q (up to 64 Static VLAN groups)
o
IEEE 802.1p (Class of Service)
o
IEEE 802.1ad (Link Aggregation)
o
IEEE 802.1D (Spanning Tree)
o

•
Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports
•
Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection
•
Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The table contains up to 8,000 media access control
(MAC) addresses (that is, the switch can support networks with as many as 8,000 devices).
•
Full- and Half-duplex functions for all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, operating at 10 or 100 Mbps.
•
Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network
•
Active flow control to minimize packet loss/frame drops:
o
Half-duplex back-pressure control (10 or 100 Mbps)
o
Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control
•
LED indicators for port status monitoring:
o
Power LED to indicate power on/off status
o
Link LED to indicate link status
o
Dual-color Mode LED to indicate speed, activity, duplex mode, and collision
•
Easy migration from existing 10 Mbps network to 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network and Gigabit Ethernet.
•
Easy upgrade path to add gigabit technology to your network
•
Flexible installation:
o
Standalone desktop installation
o
19-inch standard rack-mount
•
Standard 1U case size
