A Layer 3 switch can be placed anywhere within a
network core or backbone, easily and cost-effectively
replacing the traditional collapsed backbone router.
The VH-2402-L3 Layer 3 switch communicates with a
WAN router using a standard Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
port. Multiple VH-2402-L3 switches can be linked via
the optional, 2-port Gigabit Ethernet module.
Features
The VH-2402-L3 Switch was designed for easy
installation and high performance in an environment
where traffic on the network and the number of users
increase continuously.
Switch features include:
Ports
24 high performance ports all operating at 10/100 Mbps
for connecting to end stations, servers and hubs (23
MDI-X 10/100 Ethernet UTP ports and one MDI-II/MDI-X
port. The MDI-II/MDI-X port can be switched between
the two modes from the front panel.)
All ports can auto-negotiate between 10Mbps/ 100Mbps,
half-duplex or full duplex and flow control for half-duplex
ports.
