Safety Considerations

This equipment is for use in a restricted access area by qualified personnel only. To avoid electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than those contained in the unpacking instructions.

This equipment contains Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) sensitive components. Use ESD protection before servicing or installing components of this system.

CAUTION Changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

CAUTION

Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or

 

remove it from the device. Otherwise, the power supply or the device could

 

be damaged as a result. (The device can be running while a power supply is

 

being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be

 

connected to a power source.)

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

All devices with DC power supplies are intended for installation in restricted

 

access areas only. A restricted access area is where access can be gained only

 

by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other

 

means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the

 

location.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

The equipment is designed to be used with Class 1 Laser fiber optic

 

transmitters which may endanger your eyes.

 

Do not look directly into the fiber optic cables or transmitter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

 

Disconnect the product from the power line before removing the cover.

 

Any adjustment and maintenance of the opened device should be done

 

only while the device is disconnected from its source of power and should

 

only be performed by qualified personnel, authorized by Foundry

 

Networks.

M2404F, M2404C specifications

Foundry Networks, a key player in the networking industry, has developed a range of high-performance Ethernet switches designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and enterprise environments. Among these products, the M2404C and M2404F switches stand out for their robust features and capabilities.

The M2404C is engineered for flexibility and high performance, offering Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities. It supports a wide array of routing protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and RIP, making it suitable for various network architectures. The switch provides up to 48 Ethernet ports with a combination of Gigabit and 10 Gigabit interfaces, ensuring it can handle high bandwidth requirements. This modularity allows organizations to scale their networks seamlessly as their needs evolve.

On the other hand, the M2404F focuses on fiber connectivity and is designed with an emphasis on high-speed fiber handling. This switch also supports advanced Layer 3 routing capabilities, but its standout feature is its support for higher-speed interfaces, like 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports. It is ideal for businesses that require efficient long-distance data transmission and reliable network performance.

Both models feature Foundry's innovative Fabric Technology, which enhances throughput and reduces latency. This technology optimizes data flow and improves overall service quality, making these switches suitable for mission-critical applications. Additionally, they boast a comprehensive management system that simplifies network administration. Foundry Networks emphasizes security, incorporating advanced features like Access Control Lists (ACLs), RADIUS, and TACACS+ support to help secure the network infrastructure.

Scalability is another critical aspect of the M2404C and M2404F. These switches allow for stacking, enabling organizations to expand their network without sacrificing performance. Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities in the M2404C provide added convenience for powering devices like IP phones and wireless access points.

In summary, Foundry Networks' M2404C and M2404F switches deliver exceptional performance, advanced features, and robust security, making them an excellent choice for organizations seeking to enhance their networking infrastructure. With their modular design and ability to support high-speed connectivity, they are well-suited for a variety of applications, from enterprise environments to data center deployments.
