Overview

The C3G124‐24P and C3G124‐48P are stackable switches that can be adapted and scaled to help meet your network requirements. These switches provide a management platform and an uplink to a network backbone for a stacked group of up to eight C3 switches.

You can also use a redundant DC power supply with these switches to help prevent downtime due to an internal power supply failure in the switch or AC power source.

You can install the switch on a flat surface or into a standard 19‐inch rack with user‐ supplied mounting hardware, and configure the switch functions using the WebView™ application, CLI switching commands, and/or SNMP.

C3G124-24P Stackable Switch

The C3G124‐24P (Figure 1‐1) has several types of front panel port connections, which include:

•Twenty‐four RJ45 ports (10/100/1000 Mbps, 1000BASE‐T copper ports) that also support PoE for connections to IEEE 802.3af compliant PDs (powered devices).
