CWGE2FE8MSPOE
COMMERCIAL GRADE MANAGED ETHERNET SWITCH:
(8) 10/100TX RJ45 +
(2) 10/100/1000TX OR 100/1000 FX SFP PORTS
WITH POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE)
V1.0 – September 2010
The ComNet™ CWGE2FE8MSPOE Managed Ethernet Switch provides transmission of (8) 10/100 BASE-TX and
(2) 10/100/1000TX or 100/1000FX combo ports. These units are available for use with either conventional
CAT-5e copper or optical transmission media. The 8 electrical ports support the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet IEEE
802.3 protocol, and auto-negotiating and auto-MDI/MDIX features are provided for simplicity and ease of
installation. All 8 ports support IEEE.802.3af based POE (Max total PoE budget is 77W). 2 ports are 10/100/1000
configurable for copper or fiber media for use with multimode or single mode optical fiber, selected by optional
SFP modules. These network managed layer 2 switches are optically (100/1000 BASE-FX) and electrically
compatible with any IEEE 802.3 compliant Ethernet devices. Plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation,
and no electrical or optical adjustments are ever required. The CWGE2FE8MSPOE incorporates LED indicators for
monitoring the operating status of the managed switch and network.

  • Page 75: Sntp Configuration

    SNTP Configuration SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) is a simplified version of NTP that is an Internet protocol used to synchronize the clocks of computers to a time reference. Because time usually just advances, the time on different node stations will be different. With the communicating programs running on those devices, it would cause time to jump forward and back, a non-desirable effect.

    Port Trunk Port trunking is the combination of several ports or network cables to expand the connection speed beyond the limits of any one single port or network cable. Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), that is a protocol running on layer 2, provides a standardized means in accordance with IEEE 802.3ad to bundle several physical ports together to form a single logical channel.

    Multicast Filtering Multicasts are similar to broadcasts, they are sent to all end stations on a LAN or VLAN. End units can receive the multicast traffic if the connected ports have been included in the specific multicast groups. With multicast filtering, network devices only forward multicast traffic to the ports that are connected to the registered end units.
