1.2 Features
The following are the essential features of the Switch.
• Conforms to IEEE 802.3u, 802.3ab, 802.3bz, 802.3z, 802.3ae, and 802.3x standards.
• Auto-negotiating 100 Mbps / 1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps multi-gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports.
• Auto-sensing crossover for all 100 Mbps / 1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps multi-gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 ports.
• Supports N-Way protocol for speed (100 Mbps / 1 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps) and duplex mode (Full) auto-
detection.
• Supports store-and-forward switching.
• Supports automatic address learning.
• Supports IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, and IEEE 802.3bt PoE standards.
• Full wire speed forwarding rate.
• Supports 802.1p CoS.
• Embedded 4K MAC address table providing 4000 MAC addresses entries.
1.2.1 Multi-Gigabit
An 2.5 multi-gigabit port supports speeds of 2.5G if the connected device supports 2.5G and a Cat 5e
(up to 100 m) is used. The speed drops to 1G if these criteria are not met; it drops to 100M if a Cat 5
cable is used (up to 100 m).
Multi-Gigabit ports are also backward compatible with 100 Mbps and 1 Gigabit ports.
Figure 1 Multi-Gigabit Application
See the following table for the cables required and distance limitation to attain the corresponding
speed.
