ProSAFE 8-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Switch with PoE+ and 2 SFP Ports Overview The switch provides eight 10/100/1000M BASE-T RJ-45 copper ports that support nonstop 10/100/1000M Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks. Two additional ports can accept small form-factor pluggable (SFP) 1G fiber optical modules. Using the 1G ports, you can create high-speed connections to a server, network attached storage (NAS) system, or backbone network. For example, you can do the following: • Connect switches to each other with high-speed links • Link to high-speed servers • Provide 10/100/1000M copper and 1G fiber connectivity The switch provides administrative management options that let you configure, monitor, and control the network. Using the web browser-based management interface, you can configure the switch and the network, including the ports, the management VLAN, VLANs for traffic control, link aggregation for increased bandwidth, quality of service (QoS) for prioritizing traffic, and network security. Initial discovery of the switch on the network requires the Smart Control Center program, which runs on a Windows-based computer and is included on the resource CD. If you do not use a Windows-based computer, get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in the network or use an IP scanner utility. After discovery, you can configure the switch using the web browser-based management interface for advanced setup and configuration of features, or the Smart Control Center program for very basic setup. For more information, see the user manual that you can download from downloadcenter.netgear.com. You can install the switch freestanding or rack mounted in a wiring closet or equipment room. The switch is IEEE compliant and offers low latency for high-speed networking. All ports can automatically negotiate to the highest speed, which makes the switch very suitable for a mixed environment with Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet devices. Use Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher rated Ethernet cables terminated with RJ-45 connectors to make 1-Gigibit connections.
