Product Outline

1
Switch-M8eGi is an all Giga bit Ethernet Switching Hub with management function
having 8 ports of 10/100/1000BASE-T and two pairs of 10/100/1000BASE-T port and
SFP extension slot, one of which is selectable.

1.1 Features

 Has wire speed layer 2 switching functions.
 Fanless design solves noise problem or fan failure.
 Due to the loop detection/shutoff function, a port where loop has occurred can be
automatically shut off to prevent loop failures. When a port is shut off and recovered
automatically, SNMP trap can be sent to notify the incident to the administrator.
Moreover, the port with a loop can be identified by loop notification on the LEDs on
the main unit and referring the history of loop on the setting screen.
 Has a loop detection history function, which notifies when a loop occurs with the
corresponding LED and enables a network administrator to identify the looped port
after the loop is removed.
 Embedded power saving mode detects the connection status automatically and saves
power consumption to minimum.
Factory default : Disable
 Power consumption can be suppressed by switching off the port LEDs (left) via the
ECO mode LED functions.
 Ports 1 to 8 are auto negotiation-ready 10/100/1000BASE-T ports. Their speed and
communication mode can be changed by configuration.
Port 9 can be exclusively used as an SFP extension slot.
 All twisted pair ports support straight/cross cable auto sensing function. Simply
connect devices with straight cables, whether it is a terminal or a network device.
(This function does not work if the port communication configuration is set at Fixed
or Link Aggregation. Ports 1 to 7 are set at MDI-X. (default))
 IEEE802.1Q VLAN tagging is supported, and a maximum of 256 VLANs can be registered.
 The IEEE802.1p compatible QoS function is supported.
 Has an Internet Mansion function, which ensures security between each door.
 Has a port grouping function, which groups ports that are allowed to communicate
with one another to limit communications between different groups.
 Equipped with energy efficient Ethernet (EEE) conforming to IEEE802.3az(LPI). When
there is no data transmission at link up, the energy-saving state automatically starts
so that power consumption can be reduced on each port.
Factory default : Disable
 The IEEE802.1X compatible user authentication function (EAP-MD5/TLS/PEAP) is
supported.
 Each single port supports IEEE 802.1X, Web, and MAC authentication protocols,
eliminating the need for individually setting the ports' authentication parameters.
 Supports ZEQUO assist Plus. Processes from introduction to maintenance can be
performed easily.
