FS728TP Hardware Installation Guide

Switch Features

The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Smart Switch.
• 24 RJ-45 10/100 Fast Ethernet switching ports.
• 4/ RJ-45 10/100/1000M auto sensing Gigabit Ethernet switching ports, two of which are
Combo ports.
• Two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) GBIC slots, which function as combo ports. Combo
ports are single ports with two physical connections, SFP fiber and RJ-45 copper. The RJ-45
copper ports corresponding to the Combo ports are the four 10/100/1000M auto-sensing Giga
switching ports on each device. If both devices are plugged in, the fiber connection is active,
with fiber port taking priority if both are connected.
The following SFP types are supported:
– 1000Base-SX
– 1000Base-LX
• The devices support full Netgear Smart Switch functionality.
• The devices provide full compatibility with IEEE standards:
– IEEE 802.3i, (10Base-T)
– IEEE 802.3u (100Base-TX, 100Base-FX)
– IEEE 802.3x (Full-duplex flow control)
– IEEE 802.3ab (1000Base-T)
– IEEE 802.3z (1000Base-X)
– IEEE 802.3af (DTE Power via MDI)
• Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports.
• Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection.
• Automatic address-learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The
table contains up to 4K Media Access Control (MAC) addresses.
• Full- and half-duplex functions for all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports.
• Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network.
• Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control.
