CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 Overview
This User’s Guide covers the following models: ES1100-8P, ES1100-16, ES1100-16P, ES1100-24,
ES1100-24E, and ES1100-24G. The Switch can be used to build high-performance switched
workgroup networks.
• Embedded MAC address table providing MAC addresses entries (ES1100-16, ES1100-16P,
ES1100-24, ES1100-24E and ES1100-24G provide 8K; ES1100-8P provides 1K).
1.3 Applications
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
This section provides two network topology examples in which the Switch is used.
1.3.1 Standalone Workgroup
In this application, the Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be
expected in the near future.
The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers
directly to the Switch’s port or connect other switches to the Switch.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the
network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers
etc.

1.3.2 Bridging
With its large address table and high performance, the Switch is an ideal solution for department
networks to connect to the corporate backbone or for connecting network segments.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
The following figure depicts a typical segment bridge application of the Switch in an enterprise
environment. The two networks (RD and Sales), the standalone server and the computers can all
communicate with each other and share all network resources.

1.4 Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
The PoE function is available for ES1100-8P and ES1100-16P only.
ES1100-8P and ES1100-16P has FE PoE ports and supports IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet
(PoE). Ports 1 to 4 on the ES1100-8P and ports 1 to 8 on the ES1100-16P can supply power of up
to 15.4W per Ethernet port.
A powered device (PD) is a device such as an access point or a switch, that supports PoE (Power
over Ethernet) so that it can receive power from another device through a 10/100Mbps Ethernet
port.
In the figure below, the IP camera and IP phone get their power directly from the Switch. Aside
from minimizing the need for cables and wires, PoE removes the hassle of trying to find a nearby
electric outlet to power up devices.
