1-1. Overview

GSW-2496, a 24-port Gigabit L2 Managed Switch, is a standard switch that

meets all IEEE 802.3/u/x/z Gigabit, Fast Ethernet specifications. The switch
included 8-Port 10/100/1000Mbps TP and 16-Port Gigabit SFP Fiber management
Ethernet switch. The switch can be managed through RS-232 serial port via directly
connection, or through Ethernet port using CLI or Web-based management unit,
associated with SNMP agent. With the SNMP agent, the network administrator can
logon the switch to monitor, configure and control each port’s activity in a friendly
way. The overall network management is enhanced and the network efficiency is
also improved to accommodate high bandwidth applications. In addition, the switch
features comprehensive and useful function such as QoS (Quality of Service),
Spanning Tree, VLAN, Port Trunking, Bandwidth Control, Port Security,
SNMP/RMON, IGMP Snooping capability via the intelligent software. It is suitable
for both metro-LAN and office application.
