Chapter 1: Introduction Overview The SMC8926EM and SMC8950EM are intelligent multilayer switches (Layer 2, 3) * with 24/48 10/100/1000BASE-T ports, four of which are combination ports that are shared with four SFP transceiver slots (see Figure 1-1, Ports 21-24/45-48). The rear panel provides two slots for single-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet hot-swappable expansion modules, and two stacking ports. Units can be stacked up to eight high through the built-in stacking ports that provide a 50 Gbps st

Introduction 1 PowerSocket RedundantPowerSocket ModuleSlots StackingPorts Figure 1-2 Rear Panel Switch Architecture These Gigabit Ethernet switches employ a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports. The switches also feature full-duplex capability on all ports, which effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection. For communications between different VLANs, these switches use IP routing.
