Technical Specifications
Key Features
• 8x (10/100/1000Mbps) Gigabit Ethernet (TP) switching ports
compliant with IEEE802.3, 802.3u, 802.3z and 802.3ab
• 2 Gigabit Copper/SFP paired ports for support of Fibre or Copper Mini-GBIC media. SFP
ports are paired with TP ports 7 and 8. Only one of the two paired ports can be used at
any one time
• Non-blocking store-and-forward switching fabric
• Shared buffer memory integrated into ASIC
• Supports auto-negotiation for configuring speed and duplex mode
• Supports 802.3x Flow Control for full-duplex ports
• Supports collision-based and carrier-based backpressure for half-duplex ports
• All ports can be configured for disabled mode, forced mode or auto-negotiation
• Supports Head of Line (HOL) blocking prevention
• Supports broadcast storm filtering
• Web-based management provides the ability to completely manage the switch
from any web browser
• Supports Port-based VLAN and Protocol-based (IEEE802.1Q) VLAN.
• MAC address table auto-aging with programmable inter-age time
• Supports Port Trunking with flexible load distribution and failover
• Supports port sniffer mirroring function
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet Jumbo Frames and programmable maximum Ethernet frame
length from 1518 to 9208 bytes.
• Efficient self-learning and MAC address recognition mechanism enables forwarding rate
at wire speed
