Chapter 1:Introduction
r
This new Linksys rackmount switch delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10, and 100 megabit network clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty-four 10/100 ports wire up your
workstations, while the integrated 10/100/1000BaseTX port connects to the
backbone at Gigabit speeds. And the mini GBIC ports allow future expansion
to alternate transmission media like optical fiber.
It features non-blocking, wire-speed switching that forwards packets as fast as
your network can deliver them. Also included are Address Learning and Aging
to prevent data transfer errors and Data Flow Control to help prevent packet
collisions. The switch provides broadcast storm suppression, has hardware
MAC learning, and supports packet filtering and port security.
All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to
worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode. Head-ofline blocking prevention keeps your high-speed clients from bogging down in
lower-speed traffic and fast store-and-forward switching prevents damaged
packets from being passed on into the network.
No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 24-Port 10/100 +
2-Port Gigabit Switch + 2 miniGBIC has speed, flexibility, and reliability that
you can count on.

mini-GBIC The two mini-GBIC (gigabit interface converter) ports are
connection points for mini-GBIC modules, so the Switch can
be uplinked via fiber to another switch or two. The miniGBIC ports are compatible with two types of modules, 850
nm and 1310 nm.
The power port is located on the back panel of the Switch.
(power) The power port is where you will connect the included power
cord.

The LEDs and network ports are located on the front panel of the Switch. All
network ports are independent, so you can use all of them simultaneously.
LEDS
System Green. The System LED will light up when the Switch is
powered on.
1-24 Green. Each LED will light up when there is a connection
made through its corresponding port. It will flash when there
is activity on its corresponding port.
G1 Green. The G1 LED will light up when there is a connection
made through the Gigabit port. It will flash when there is
activity on the Gigabit port.
G2 Green. The G2 LED will light up when there is a connection
made through the miniGBIC port. It will flash when there is
activity on the miniGBIC port.
Ports
1-24 These 10/100 ports are connection points for PCs and other
network devices, such as additional switches.
Gigabit These two 10/100/1000 ports are connection points for net-
work devices, such as Gigabit servers.
