This Installation Guide provides information about the Lenovo
G8124-E (referred to as G8124-E throughout this document).
The G8124-E is a 1U rack-mountable aggregation switch with unmatched line-rate
Layer 2 and Layer 3 performance. The G8124-E uses a wire-speed, non-blocking
switching fabric that provides simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets
at low latency on all ports.
The G8124-E contains the following switching ports:
•
Twenty-four 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Small Form Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports
which also support legacy 1 GbE connections.
SFP+ ports can be populated with optical or copper transceiver modules or
Direct-Attach Cables (DACs).
The G8124-E is available with either front-to-rear or rear-to-front airflow. Each
model is 1U in height and can be mounted horizontally or vertically, depending on
your application. Mounting options are available for a variety of rack systems.
You can manage the switch through the local console port, or through a remote
network connection, a Web browser-based interface, or SNMP-based network
management software.
Note: Other features supported on your switch depend on the specific firmware
installed. For more information, see the Application Guide and Command
Reference for your specific switch and its installed firmware.
This Installation Guide provides information and instructions for installing the
G8124-E, updating the firmware, and solving problems. For other information about
