Switch Architecture
These switches employ a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This permits simultaneous
wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports.

Network Management Options
These switches contain a comprehensive array of LEDs for “at-a-glance” monitoring of network and
port status. They also include a management agent that allows you to configure or monitor the
switch using its embedded management software, or through SNMP applications. To manage the
switch, you can make a direct connection to the console port (out-of-band), or you can manage the
switch through a network connection (in-band) using Telnet, SSH, the on-board web agent, or
SNMP-based network management software.

The switch management port (RJ-45) provides a dedicated management channel that operates
outside of the data transport network. This makes it possible to re-configure or troubleshoot the
switch over either a local or remote connection to the port when access through the data channel is
not possible or deemed insecure.
