Chapter 1: Introduction

This switch provides a broad range of features for Layer 2 switching. It includes a
management agent that allows you to configure the features listed in this manual.
The default configuration can be used for most of the features provided by this
switch. However, there are many options that you should configure to maximize the
switch’s performance for your particular network environment.

The Fast Ethernet ports on this switch also support the IEEE 802.3af
