Should a Product fail to perform during the effective warranty period as described above, LevelOne shall replace the defective Product or part, or delivering a functionally equivalent Product or part in receipt of customer’s request, provided that the customer complies with the return material authorization (RMA) procedures and returns all defective Product prior to installation of the replacements to LevelOne.

All defective Products must be returned to LevelOne with issuance of a Return Material Authorization number (RMA number) assigned to the reseller from whom the end customer originally purchased the Product. The reseller is responsible for ensuring the shipments are insured, with the transportation charges prepaid and the RMA number clearly marked on the outside of the package. LevelOne will not accept collect shipments or those returned without an RMA number.

1. Introduction

1-1. Overview

GSW-2496, a 24-port Gigabit L2 Managed Switch, is a standard switch that meets all IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. The switch included 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps TP and 16-Port Gigabit SFP Fiber management Ethernet switch. The switch can be managed through RS-232 serial port via directly connection, or through Ethernet port using CLI or Web-based management unit, associated with SNMP agent. With the SNMP agent, the network administrator can logon the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity in a friendly way. The overall network management is enhanced and the network efficiency is also improved to accommodate high bandwidth applications. In addition, the switch features comprehensive and useful function such as QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Security, SNMP/RMON, IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent software. It is suitable for both metro-LAN and office application.

In this switch, 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver is used for high-speed connection expansion.

Model No. Description

GVT-0300 SFP Transceiver LC, SX Multi-mode 550m GVT-0301 SFP Transceiver LC, LX Single-mode 10km GVT-0302 SFP Transceiver LC, ZX Single-mode 70km

10/100/1000Mbps TP is a standard Ethernet port that meets all IEEE

802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. 1000Mbps SFP Fiber transceiver is a Gigabit Ethernet port that fully complies with all IEEE 802.3z and 1000BaseSX/LX standards.

For upgrading firmware, please refer to the Section 3-21 or Section 4-2-2 for more details. The switch will not stop operating while upgrading firmware and after that, the configuration keeps unchanged.

Important Note:

GSW-2496 supports the following vendor’s mini-GBIC transceiver only

Key Features

•

QoS:

Support Quality of Service by the IEEE 802.1P standard. There are two

priority queue and packet transmission schedule. Spanni ng Tree:

Support IEEE 802.1D, IEEE 802.1w (RSTP: Rapid Spanning Tree

Protocol) standards. VLAN:

Support Port-based VLAN and IEEE802.1Q Tag VLAN. Support 256 active

VLANs and VLAN ID 1~4094. Port Trunking:

Support static port trunking and port trunking with IEEE 802.3ad LACP. Bandwidth Control:

Support ingress and egress per port bandwidth control. Port Security:

Support allowed, denied forwarding and port security with MAC address. SNMP/RMON:

SNMP agent and RMON MIB. In the device, SNMP agent is a client software

which is operating over SNMP protocol used to receive the command from

SNMP manager (server site) and echo the corresponded data, i.e. MIB

object. Besides, SNMP agent will actively issue TRAP information when

happened.

RMON is the abbreviation of Remote Network Monitoring and is a branch of

the SNMP MIB.

The device supports MIB-2 (RFC 1213), Bridge MIB (RFC 1493), RMON MIB

(RFC 1757)-statistics Group 1,2,3,9, VLAN MIB (802.1Q, RFC2674),

Ethernet MIB (RFC 1643) and so on. IGMP Snooping:

Support IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236): The function IGMP snooping is used to

establish the multicast groups to forward the multicast packet to the member

ports, and, in nature, avoid wasting the bandwidth while IP multicast packets

are running over the network.
