These switches include built-in stacking ports that enable up to eight units 
to be connected together through a 40 Gbps stack backplane. The switch 
stack can be managed from a master unit using a single IP address.
These switches also include a slot on the rear panel for slide-in single-port 
10G modules with Xenpak transceivers. 
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 via SNMP applications. To manage 
the switch, you can make a direct connection to the RS-232 console port 
(out-of-band), or you can manage the switch through a network 
connection (in-band) using Telnet, the on-board web agent, or 
SNMP-based network management software.
For a detailed description of both switches’ advanced features, refer to the 
Management Guide.
Description of Hardware
10/100/1000BASE-T Ports
The switches contain 24/48 RJ-45 ports that operate at 10 Mbps or 
100 Mbps, half or full duplex, or at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. Because all 
ports on these switches support automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, you 
can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs or 
servers, or to other switches or hubs. (See “1000BASE-T Pin 
Assignments” on page B-5.
)
Each of these ports support auto-negotiation, so the optimum 
transmission mode (half or full duplex), and data rate (10, 100, or 
1000 Mbps) can be selected automatically. If a device connected to one of 
these ports does not support auto-negotiation, the communication mode 
of that port can be configured manually.
