Page 5: Chapter 1: Introduction
Chapter 1: Introduction The IntraCore 36000 Series Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switches are high-performance network switches used to reduce network congestion and application response times. The 24-port (IC36240) and 48-port (IC36480) have 10/100/1000BaseT ports and four combination ports used for sharing with SFP mini GBICs. The switches also have an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. - Page 6 Fiber cable options using SFP ports: 1000BaseSX (MMF) up to 550 m 1000BaseLX (SMF) up to 5 km 1000BaseLH link up to 70 km 1.1.2 Expandability Provides support for 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseLX, 1000BaseLH, and 1000BaseT SFP transceivers 1.1.3 Performance Provides 255 port-based VLANs, 4K VLAN ID, private VLAN, 802.1v VLAN, GVRP, and IGMP snooping Transparent bridging Switching table with 16K MAC address entries with automatic learning and aging Store-and-forward switching...
