Introduction
What’s in this User Guide?
Thank you for choosing a Linksys Switch. This Switch
expand your Linksys system.
This new Linksys rack mount Switch delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your
twork clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone. Forty eight
ne
ports wire up your workstations or connect to other Linksys switches or devices.
The Switch features monitoring and configuration via your web browser, making it easy to

Getting to Know the SGE2010/SGE2010P
This chapter describes the ports, LEDs, and other features on the front and back panels of the
switch.
The SGE2010 and SGE2010P are 48-port, layer-2 Ethernet switches that
affordably expand the
capability of the Linksys system. These two versions are functionally identical except the
SGE2010P model offers Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) which can be used to supply power to
various Linksys products over Ethernet cable.

Feature Description
Reset The Switch can be reset by inserting a pin or paper clip into the RESET
opening.
CAUTION: If the R
Switch will reset to its default settings. All customized user settings will be
lost.
LEDs The Switch uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to indicate the status of
nu
merous functions. These functions are listed below.
ESET switch is pressed for more than 10 seconds, the
PWR A green PWR LED lights up to indicate that the Switch is powered on.
FA N A green FAN LED lights up to indicate that the cooling fan is operating
pr
operly. A blinking red FAN LED indicates that the cooling fan has failed.
RPS A green RPS LED lights up to indicate that RPS is connected and operating
properly. A blinking red RPS LED indicates an RPS fault.
MST A green MST LED indicates that this Switch is a stack master.
Stack ID A green Stack ID LED indicates that this Switch is stacked and the
cor
responding number indicates its stack ID.
Act/Link The green Act/Link LEDs light up to indicate a functional network link
through the corresponding port with an attached device. The Act
(Activity) LEDs flash to indicate that the Switch is actively sending or
receiving data over that port.
Speed On the SGE2010, a green Speed LED indicates that the port is linked to a
100Mbps device.
PoE On the SGE2010P, a green PoE LED indicates that PoE is active on that port.
SGE2010/SGE2010P Administration Guide 2
Getting to Know the SGE2010/SGE2010P
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
er supply, there is 360W available to all PoE ports, and 280W available
pow
with redundant power supply.
Ports 45, 46, 47 and 48 are shared with miniGBIC1, miniGBIC2, miniGBIC3,
mi
niGBIC4, respectively.
and
NOTE: A switch is in stacking mode by default. In stacking mode, ports 24
nd 48 are reserved for use as stacking ports. For more information
a
about stacking, refer to the SFE2010/SGE2010 Reference Guide.
miniGBIC1-4 The switch provides four mini-GBIC ports. The mini-GBIC (gigabit interface
conv
erter) 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
w
itch. The MGBSX1 and the MGBLH1 require fiber cabling with LC
s
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.
