This chapter describes the hardware features of the NETGEAR Model GSM7324 Managed Layer 3 Gigabit 
Ethernet Switch. Topics include: 

Front and back panels 

10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing RJ-45 ports 

SFP module bay 

LED descriptions 

Console port 

Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the key components on the front and back panels of the NETGEAR Model 
GSM7324 Managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch 

The front panel contains LEDs, RJ-45 jacks, SFP module bays, and a console port.  The back panel has a 
standard AC power receptacle for accommodating the supplied power cord.

10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 Ports 

As Figures 2-1 and 2-3 shows, the GSM7324 Managed Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Switch has 24 
10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports. These ports are auto-sensing 10/100/1000 Mbps ports: When you insert a 
cable into an RJ-45 port, the switch automatically ascertains the maximum speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps) 
and duplex mode (half- or full-duplex) of the attached device. 

To simplify the procedure for attaching devices, all RJ-45 ports support Auto Uplink. This technology lets 
you attach devices to the RJ-45 ports using either straight-through or crossover cables. When you insert a 
cable into the switch’s RJ-45 port, the switch automatically: 

•  Senses whether the cable is a straight-through or crossover cable. 
•  Determines whether the link to the attached device requires a “normal” connection (such as when 

connecting the port to a PC) or an “uplink” connection (such as when connecting the port to a 
router, switch, or hub).
