Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction The 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch + 2 MiniGBIC This new Linksys rack-mount switch delivers non-blocking, wire speed switching for your 10/100 Mbps network clients, plus multiple options for connecting to your network backbone. Twenty-four 10/100 ports wire-up your workstations, while the integrated 10/100/1000 ports or miniGBIC ports connect to your servers or backbone at Gigabit speeds. The SR224G incorporates non-blocking, wire-speed architecture that forwards packets as fast as your network can deliver them. It features broadcast storm suppression that maximizes the system availability. Also included are Address Learning and Aging function to prevent data transfer errors and Data Flow Control to help prevent packet loss. All ports have automatic MDI/MDI-X crossover detection, so you don't have to worry about the cable type. Each port independently and automatically negotiates for best speed and whether to run in half- or full-duplex mode. Head-of-line blocking prevention keeps your highspeed clients from bogging down in lower-speed traffic and fast storeand-forward switching prevents damaged packets from being passed on into the network. No matter how intensive your network demands, the Linksys 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch + 2 MiniGBIC has speed, flexibility, and reliability that you can count on. 24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch + 2 MiniGBIC
