The SFP slots are for uplink connections. Use SFP transceivers in these slots for 100Mbps or 1Gbps
connections to backbone Ethernet switches.
The Switch has a built-in algorithm that automatically assigns priority to received packets. It can operate
in low power idle mode in compliance with IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
1.2 Fe a ture s
The following are the essential features of the Switch.
• Conforms to IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3ab and 802.3x standards.
• Auto-negotiating 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) RJ-45 ports.
• Auto-sensing crossover for all 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) RJ-45 ports.
• Supports N-Way protocol for speed (10/100/1000 Mbps) and duplex mode (Half/Full) auto-detection.
• Supports store-and-forward switching.
• Supports automatic address learning.
• Supports IEEE 802.3az EEE.
• Supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE standards.
• Full wire speed forwarding rate.
• Supports 802.1p CoS.
• Embedded 8K MAC address table providing 8000 MAC addresses entries.
1.3 Exa m ple Applic a tio ns
This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. Note that the
Switch in the figure is just an example Switch and not your actual Switch.
1.3.1 Po E Exa m ple Applic a tio n
The following example figure shows a Switch supplying PoE (Power over Ethernet) to Powered Devices
(PDs) such as an IP camera, a wireless router, an IP telephone and a general outdoor router that are not
within reach of a power outlet.
