networks (MANs), and can also be used for connecting server groups in data centers.

The feature-rich S5500-SI series switches support the following services:

z Broadband Internet access
z Access of MAN and enterprise network users
z Multimedia services, such as VoD
z Delay-sensitive voice services, such as VoIP
z Multicast audio and video services

S5500-SI series feature the following advantages:

z Providing full-Gigabit access ports
z Providing 10GE ports (except for the S5500-20TP-SI switch)
z Supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack and hardware forwarding
z Supporting jumbo frames
z Supporting port security
z Supporting link aggregation control protocol (LACP)
z Supporting 4K VLANs
z Supporting QACL
z Supporting port-based/flow-based mirroring

1.3.2 LEDs of S5500-28C-PWR-SI/S5500-52C-PWR-SI Switch

The S5500-28C-PWR-SI/S5500-52C-PWR-SI Ethernet switch provides LEDs on the
front panel for your convenience to monitor the switch.

Table 1-4 describes the
meanings of the LEDs. You can use the Mode button on the panel to switch the display
mode (rate mode, duplex mode, or PoE mode) of LEDs.
