The CheetaSwitch ES3526X is a switch with 24 Auto-MDI/X
10BASE-T/100BASE-TX ports and 2 optional expansion
slides in modules. It is loaded with features such as VLANs,
GVRP and IGMP, thus provide an easy-to-configure and
easy-to-manage network environment. ES3526X is the
perfect for cost-sensitive medium to large network looking to
strengthen its network connection.
High Performance
Provides high performance architecture with 8.8 Gbps total
capacity. GVRP allows automatic configuration of VLAN,
IGMP snooping to identify multicast traffic to make an efficient
utilization of the switch bandwidth. Aggregate grater
bandwidth between devices by supporting IEEE 802.3ad
(LACP). IEEE 802.1p four queues help to prioritize
time-sensitive applications such as multimedia & voice traffic.
Flexible Uplink Modules
Two expansion slots supports six different media
configuration and port densities to allow network managers
the flexibility to upgrade their networks based on their
requirements.
Security and Redundancy
Port-based MAC filtering prevents unauthorized user to
access to the switch. IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol
support for loop-free network improves fault tolerance and
simplifies network configuration.
Comprehensive Manageability
The system can be managed and monitored via
SNMP/RMON protocol through computer using network
management software or via an Internet web browser.
Comprehensive LED indicators are located on the front panel
to assist network administrators in troubleshooting. Port
Mirroring feature provides a non-intrusive mechanism for
traffic inspection across the whole switch. With the help of our
powerful management features the status of the
CheetahSwitch can be obtained at a glance.
ES3526X L2 Fast Ethernet
Standalone Switch
The ES3526X is a Layer 2 standalone switch with 24 10/100Base-T (RJ-45)
ports and two expansion slots for Gigabit or 100Base-FX fiber interface.
The ES3526X can be managed either by in-band management via the
network station remotely or out-of-band management via the console port
