Value Leader
. .
. .
. .
The Compaq 5708 switches combine high-performance switching and aggressive pricing. High-end Ethernet and
. .
. . Fast Ethernet switching are finally affordable for companies with medium to large networks.
. .
. .
Performance By Design
. .
. .
. .
The Compaq 5708 switches' non-blocking, cross-bar matrix architecture provides high-end performance for
. .
. .
departmental and workgroup environments at a fraction of the cost of similar devices. Typically, this type of
. .
architecture is found only in high-end switches, designed to handle huge corporate networks. This architecture is
. .
. .
ideal for the 5708 switches because performance is becoming just as critical at departmental and workgroup levels.
. .
. .
The Compaq 5708 switches' internal design provides an impressive 1.6 GB/s of aggregate throughput. In addition,
. .
the 5708 switches' ports automatically negotiate to full or half duplex and store-and-forward, fragment-free, adaptive
. .
. .
and cut-through frame forwarding modes, depending on network performance. This helps ensure peak performance
. .
. .
and reliability at all times.
. .
. .
. . Migration and Flexibility
. .
. .
The Compaq 5708 switches are available in an 8-port 10/100Base-TX version (5708TX) and an 8-port 100Base-FX
. .
. .
version (5708FX with SC-type connector) providing flexibility in network design and switch placement. The Compaq
. .
. .
5708TX switch automatically adapts to either 10 or 100MB/s on each port. With this type of flexibility, migration from
. .
10 MB/s to 100 MB/s can be implemented segment by segment, rather than the entire network at once. The 5708FX
. .
. .
switch is ideal for installations that require long cable runs (up to 2Km) or electrically noisy environments.
. .
. .
. .
Manageability
. .
. .
Both Compaq 5708 switches provide SNMP, VT-100, Telnet and VLAN as standard management features. Firmware
. .
. .
is upgraded easily via TFTP, and IP addresses can be established through standard BootP services. Compaq
. .
. .
Management Software (CMS) is included, so the user can immediately configure the switch, get detailed port-level
. .
information and graph performance statistics without having to purchase expensive management software. The
. .
. .
Compaq 5708 switches can also be managed with any SNMP MIB II compliant management application.
. .
. .
. .
World Class Compaq Reliability
. .
. .
. . Designed with quality and investment protection in mind, the Compaq 5708 switches meet all of Compaq's
. .
demanding design and manufacturing standards. Surface-mount technology, ASIC-based hardware, state-of-the-art
. .
. .
manufacturing facilities, a top-notch quality inspection and testing provide the reliability and quality that are expected
. .
. . from a Compaq product.
. .
. .
