Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The Gigabit Ethernet Switch is an intelligent multilayer switch (Layer 2 and 4) with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination ports that are shared with four SFP transceiver slots. 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. This switch provides a broad range of powerful features for Layer 2 switching, delivering reliability and cons
