speed or distance potential.
Multi-Gigabit (IEEE 802.3bz) solves these problems by additionally supporting 2.5 Gigabit and 5 Gigabit
Ethernet connections over Cat 5e and higher Ethernet cables. Multi-Gigabit ports are also backward
compatible with 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit ports.
Figure 2 Multi-Gigabit Application
See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding
speed.
Note: Make sure to select the correct speed for the port in PORT > Port Setup .
1.1.3 Stacking Mode
The Switch can work in Stacking mode and directly connect to other switches. The switches then
operate together and act as a single switch or a virtual chassis. The stackable switches can be
managed from a master switch in the stack.
Note: To set the Switch to Stacking mode, go to the SYSTEM > Stacking > Stacking Setup
screen.
