vides the ideal combination of affordability and capabilities for entry level
Networking includes Small Business or enterprise application and helps you
create a more efficient, better-connected workforce.
1.2 Switch architecture
The switch performs a wire-speed, non-blocking switching fabric. This allows
wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low latency on all ports simulta-
neously. The switch also features full-duplex capability on all ports, which
effectively doubles the bandwidth of each connection.
This switch uses store-and-forward technology to ensure maximum data inte-
grity. With this technology, the entire packet must be received into a buffer
and checked for validity before being forwarded. This prevents errors from
being propagated throughout the network.
1.3 Network management
The switch can also be managed over the network with a web browser or CLI
(Command Line Interface) via SSH oder Telnet application. The switch includes
a built-in network management agent that allows it to be managed in-band
using SNMP or RMON (Groups 1, 2, 3, 9) protocols.
For out-band management the GS-2310P and the GS-2326(P+) offer a RJ45
console port connector on the front panel, the GS-2352(P) offers a serial port
on the back.
For a detailed description of the management features, refer to the
