Getting to Know Your ES-2008
The ES-2008 is a multi-port switch that can be used to build high-performance switched
workgroup networks. This switch uses a store-and-forward switching scheme, in which
incoming data frames are first stored in buffer memory and checked for errors before
being forwarded; thus offering minimum delay for high-speed networking. It is the ideal
switch for small-to-medium sized enterprise workgroups, departments or backbone
computing environments.
The embedded web configurator makes managing and configuring the ES-2008 easy,
enabling system management as well as individual port control and monitoring.
In addition, the ES-2008 can be managed via Telnet, the console port, or SNMP.
