Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your Switch The following table describes the PoE features of the Switch by model. Table 2 Models and PoE Features SWITCH MODEL POE FEATURES GS1920-24HP and GS1920-48HP IEEE 802.3af PoE GS1920-24HP and GS1920-48HP IEEE 802.3 at High Power over Ethernet (PoE) GS1920-24HP and GS1920-48HP Power management mode - Classification GS1920-24HP and GS1920-48HP Power management mode - Consumption This section shows a few examples of using the Switch in various network environments. 1.1.1 Backbone Application The Switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future. The Switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and servers directly to the Switch's port or connect other switches to the Switch. In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc. Figure 1 Backbone Application 1.1.2 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 the Switch. You can provide a super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC port on the Switch. Moreover, the Switch eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location. GS1920 Series User's Guide 19
