Feature

Description

 

 

1-48

The Switch is equipped with 48 auto-sensing, Ethernet (802.3) network

 

ports, which use RJ-45 connectors. The Fast Ethernet ports support

 

network speeds of 10Mbps, 100Mbps, or 1000Mbps. They can operate in

 

half and full-duplex modes. Auto-sensing technology enables each port to

 

automatically detect the speed of the device connected to it, and adjust

 

its speed and duplex accordingly.

 

The switch can deliver a maximum of 15.4W to a PoE port. With regular AC

 

power supply, there is 360W available to all PoE ports, and 280W available

 

with redundant power supply.

 

Ports 45, 46, 47 and 48 are shared with miniGBIC1, miniGBIC2, miniGBIC3,

 

and miniGBIC4, respectively.

 

NOTE: A switch is in stacking mode by default. In stacking mode, ports 24

 

and 48 are reserved for use as stacking ports. For more information

 

about stacking, refer to the SFE2010/SGE2010 Reference Guide.

 

 

miniGBIC1-4

The switch provides four mini-GBIC ports. The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface

 

converter) port is a connection point for a mini-GBIC expansion module,

 

so the Switch can be uplinked via fiber to another switch. Each mini-GBIC

 

port provides a link to a high-speed network segment or individual

 

workstation at speeds of up to 1000Mbps.

 

Use the Linksys MGBT1, MGBSX1, or MGBLH1 mini-GBIC modules with the

 

switch. The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC

 

connectors, while the MGBT1 requires a Category 5e Ethernet cable with

 

an RJ-45 connector.

 

NOTE: If shared ports are both connected, then the miniGBIC port has

 

priority.
