1.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of your Switch.
This User’s Guide covers the following models: GS1100-8HP, GS1100-16, GS1100-24, and GS1100­24E. The Switch is a 10/100/1000 Mbps multi-port switch that can be used to build high­performance switched workgroup networks. The Switch is a store-and-forward device that offers low latency for high-speed networking. The Switch is fanless and designed for workgroups, departments or backbone computing environments for small businesses.

CHAPTER 1

Getting to Know Your Switch

The GS1100-8HP has four GbE PoE ports that can supply power to the connected PoE powered devices.
The GS1100-24 has two SFP slots for uplink connection. Use SFP transceivers in these slots for 100Mbps or 1Gbps connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
The Switch has a built-in algorithm that automatically assigns priority to received packets. It can operate in low power idle mode in compliance with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).

1.2 Features

The following are the essential features of the Switch.
• Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3x standards.
• Auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) RJ-45 ports.
• Auto-sensing crossover for all 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) RJ-45 ports.
• Supports N-Way protocol for speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (Half/Full) auto­detection.
• Supports store-and-forward switching.
• Supports automatic address learning.
• Supports IEEE 802.3az EEE
• Supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE standards (only GS1100-8HP)
• Full wire speed forwarding rate.
• Supports 802.1p CoS.
• Embedded 8K MAC address table providing 8000 MAC addresses entries.

1.3 Applications

This section provides two network topology examples in which the Switch is used.

GS1100 Series User’s Guide

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.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch

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.
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.
Figure 3 Bridging Example

1.4 Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

The PoE function is available for GS1100-8HP only.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch
Ports 1 to 4 on the GS1100-8HP are IEEE 802.3at High Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant and can supply power of up to 30W per Ethernet port and up to the total PoE power budget per Switch.
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 10/100/1000 Mbps 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.
