Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Introduction
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.
The Switch is a layer-2 standalone Ethernet switch with additional layer-2, layer-3, and layer-4
features suitable for Ethernets. The Switch has eight or twenty-four 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports.
It also has two or four GbE dual personality interfaces with each interface comprising one mini-
GBIC slot and one 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 port, with either port or slot active at a time.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy. In addition, the
Switch can also be managed via Telnet, any terminal emulator program on the console port, or
third-party SNMP management.
The G2200-24P and G2200-8HP come with a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) feature. The GS2200-8HP
supports the IEEE 802.3at High Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard and the GS2200-24P supports
the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. Ports 1 to 4 on the GS2200-8HP can supply power of up to 30W per
Ethernet port. Ports 5 to 8 on the GS2200-8HP and ports 1 to 24 on the GS2200-24P can supply
power of up to 15.4W per Ethernet port.
Key feature differences between Switch models are as follows. Other features are common to all
models. See
Chapter 43 on page 307 for a full list of software features available on the Switch.
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments.
1.1.1 Backbone Application
The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near
future. The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect
computers and servers directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.
