These switches include built-in stacking ports that enable up to eight units
to be connected together through a 4
8
Gbps stack backplane. The switch
stack can be managed from a master unit using a single IP address.
These switches also include two slots on the rear panel for slide-in
single-port 10GBASE modules with XFP transceivers.
Network Management Options
These switches contain a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance”
monitoring of network and port status. They also include a management
agent that allows you to configure or monitor the switch using its
embedded management software, or via SNMP applications. To manage
each switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port
(out-of-band), or you can manage the switches through a network
connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or
SNMP-based network management software.
For a detailed description of both switches’ advanced features, refer to the
Management Guide.
Description of Hardware
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports
The switches contain 24/48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or
100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all
ports on these switches support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you
can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or
servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin
Assignments” on page B-5.)
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum
transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or
1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of
these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode
of that port can be configured manually.
