3.0 Introduction
This user’s guide covers both the GSM2116 and the GSM2124 Waters’ managed switch. Both
switches meet IEEE802.3/u/x/z specifications. The switch has either sixteen or twenty-four
10/100/1000Mbps ports and two SFP fiber slots. The switch can be managed through RS-232
serial port via direct connection or through an Ethernet port using CLI 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 through
easy to use menu options. The switch features comprehensive and useful functions such as
QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Security,
SNMP/RMON, IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent software. The switch is suitable for
both metro-LAN and office application.
Note:
Pictures in this user’s guide illustrate the 16 port model. The material in the user’s guide
applies to both the GSM2116 and the GSM2124.
Ports 15/23 and 16/24 provide two types of media --- copper and fiber. These ports support
either
10/100/1000Base-TX or 1000Base-SX auto-detected function.
For upgrading firmware, please refer to Section 5.27 for more details. The switch will not stop
operating while upgrading firmware and upon completion, the configuration is unchanged.
