Page 11: Nxa-Enet8Poe Architecture
(Dharan), Taiwan, Thailand, Uruguay (FG2255-60K) NXA-ENET8POE Architecture The NXA-ENET8POE employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire- speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The device also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. -

Page 14: Meeting Room
Meeting Room Making VLAN Connections The NXA-ENET8POE supports VLANs that can be used to organize any group of network nodes into separate broadcast domains (FIG. 5). VLANs confine broadcast traffic to the originating group, and can eliminate broadcast storms in large networks. This provides a more secure and cleaner network environment. -

In this way, “brute-force” attacks are prevented. NXA-ENET8POE Gigabit PoE Ethernet Switch...

Note: Because end-stations, like PCs, are not usually VLAN aware, they do not create VLAN-tagged frames. As a result, this method of prioritization is not ideal when many PCs are connected to the NXA-ENET8POE.

Disconnect the power cord and THEN disconnect the network cable. Reconnect the power cord. The NXA-ENET8POE is now reset to its factory defaults. After completing this procedure, the password will be admin and the network IP address will be returned to the default of 192.168.2.10. -
Page 63: Appendix B: Cables
Also be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet). The RJ-45 ports on the NXA-ENET8POE support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight- through cables for all network connections to PCs or servers, or to other switches or hubs. In straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6, at one end of the cable, are connected straight through to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at the other end of the cable. -
Page 64: Straight-Through Wiring
(When auto-negotiation is enabled for any RJ-45 port on the NXA-ENET8POE, you can use either straight-through or crossover cable to connect to any device type.) You must connect all four wire pairs as shown in Straight-Through Wiring section on page 56 to support Gigabit Ethernet connections. -
