CHAPTER 1 Getting to Know Your Switch This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch. 1.1 Introduction Your Switch is a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with 20, 44 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports. The GS1910-24, GS1910-24HP, XGS1910-24 or XGS1910-48 also has four GbE dual personality interfaces. A dual personality interface includes one Gigabit Ethernet port and one slot for a miniGBIC transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time. The GS1910-48 and GS1910-48HP have four SFP slots. The Ethernet ports on the GS1910-24HP or GS1910-48HP are all IEEE802.3at High Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant and can supply power of up to 30W per Ethernet port. The XGS1910-24 or XGS1910-48 is stackable and provides two or four SFP+ slots for uplink or stacking. They can operate together with other XGS1910-24 or XGS1910-48 switches and need to be directly connected for stacking. The configurations are done on the master switch, which then maintains and manages the slave switches in the stack. You can stack up to eight XGS1910-24 or XGS1910-48 switches per stack. With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy. In addition, the Switch can also be managed via third-party SNMP management. 1.1.1 Bridging Example In this example the Switch connects different company departments (RD and Sales) to the corporate backbone.

Getting to Know Your Switch
This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the Switch.
1.1
Introduction
Your Switch is a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with 20, 44 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports.
The GS1910-24, GS1910-24HP, XGS1910-24 or XGS1910-48 also has four GbE dual personality
interfaces. A dual personality interface includes one Gigabit Ethernet port and one slot for a mini-
GBIC transceiver (SFP module) with one port active at a time. The GS1910-48 and GS1910-48HP
have four SFP slots.
The Ethernet ports on the GS1910-24HP or GS1910-48HP are all IEEE802.3at High Power over
Ethernet (PoE) compliant and can supply power of up to 30W per Ethernet port.
The XGS1910-24 or XGS1910-48 is stackable and provides two or four SFP+ slots for uplink or
stacking. They can operate together with other XGS1910-24 or XGS1910-48 switches and need to
be directly connected for stacking. The configurations are done on the master switch, which then
maintains and manages the slave switches in the stack. You can stack up to eight XGS1910-24 or
XGS1910-48 switches per stack.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the Switch is easy. In addition, the
Switch can also be managed via third-party SNMP management.
1.1.1
Bridging Example
In this example the Switch connects different company departments (
RD
and
Sales
) to the
corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and eliminate server and network
bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can connect to high-speed department servers via
