Page 10: Introduction
NTRODUCTION VERVIEW The DG-FS4528E switch is a intelligent switch with 24 10/100BASE-T ports, and four Gigabit combination ports that are comprised of an RJ-45 port and an SFP transceiver slot. There is also an SNMP-based management agent embedded on the main board. This agent supports both in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch. -
Page 11: Switch Architecture
| Introduction HAPTER Description of Hardware WITCH RCHITECTURE This switch employs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. This switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. -
