Features

The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Model GSM712 Managed Gigabit Switch.

•Ten 10/100/1000 Mbps auto sensing Gigabit Ethernet switching RJ-45 ports

•Two GBIC ports that can be used for a variety of fiber or copper connections

The following list identifies the key features of the NETGEAR Model GSM712F Managed Gigabit Switch.

•Eight Fiber Slots

•Four combo GBIC slots/ GTP ports that can be used for a variety of fiber or copper connections Both GSM712/712F have the same features as below:

•Full Layer 2 switch management including:

o SNMP

o RMON (groups 1,2,3 and 9)

o IEEE 802.1Q (up to 64 Static VLAN groups) o IEEE 802.1p (Class of Service)

o IEEE 802.3ad (Link Aggregation) o IEEE 802.1D (Spanning Tree) o IGMP snooping

o Port Mirroring

o Password access control o TFTP firmware upgrade

o Multiple interfaces: Browser-based, Telnet, or SNMP application

•Full compatibility with IEEE standards:

o IEEE 802.3i, (10BASE-T)

o IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX) o IEEE 802.3ab (1000BASE-T)

o IEEE 802.3x (full-duplex flow control)

•Auto-sensing and auto-negotiating capabilities for all ports

•Auto Uplink™ on all ports to make the right connection

•Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table. The table contains up to 8,000 media access control (MAC) addresses (that is, the switch can support networks with as many as 8,000 devices).

•Full- and Half-duplex functions for all 10/100/1000 Mbps ports, operating at 10 or 100 Mbps.

•Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network

•Advance cable fault detection service for trouble-shooting gigabit Ethernet cable plant problem (GSM712F)

•Active flow control to minimize packet loss/frame drops:

o Half-duplex back-pressure control (10 or 100 Mbps) o Full-duplex IEEE 802.3x pause frame flow control

•LED indicators for port status monitoring:

o Power LED to indicate power on/off status o Link LED to indicate link status
