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 layer 2+, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switch with two power slots for hot-swappable RPS300 or RPS600-HP power modules. The Switch provides four SFP or SFP+ slots for uplink. By integrating router functions, the Switch performs wire-speed layer-3 routing in addition to layer-2 switching. This User's Guide covers the following models: GS3700-24, GS3700-24HP, GS3700-48, GS370048HP, XGS3700-24, XGS3700-24HP, XGS3700-48, and XGS3700-48HP.

In addition, the Switch can also be managed via Telnet, any terminal emulator program on the console port, or third-party SNMP management. See the datasheet for a full list of software features available on the Switch. 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 GS3700/XGS3700 Series User's Guide 21
