Getting to Know Your Switch
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.
1.1 Introduction
Your Switch is a stand-alone, layer-3, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with support
for an optional 2-port 10 Gigabit uplink module. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F
also provides two 12 Gigabit stacking ports. By integrating router functions, the
Switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 switching.
The XGS-4526 comes with 20 100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports and 4 GbE dual
personality interfaces. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F comes with 24 GbE dual
personality interfaces. A dual personality interface includes one Gigabit port and
one slot for a mini-GBIC transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time.
The XGS-4526 requires 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 0.8 A power.
There are two XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F models. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F
DC model requires DC power supply input of -36 VDC to -72 VDC, 1.5 A Max no
tolerance. The XGS-4528F or XGS-4728F AC model requires 100 VAC to 240 VAC,
0.8 A power.
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.
See Chapter 56 on page 463 for a full list of software features available on the
Switch.
1.1.1 Bridging Example
In this example the Switch connects different company departments (RD and
Sales) to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and
eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can
connect to high-speed department servers via the Switch. You can provide a
