1.32M46-04R OVERVIEW
The 2M46-04R, shown in Figure 1-1, is a 4-port high-speed network switching device that supports traditional switching (bridging), IEEE 802.1Q switching (port based VLANs), and Cabletron Systems SecureFast Switching Virtual Network technology. The 2M46-04R also has redundant power supplies.
Ports 1 and 2 on the 2M46-04R support optional Fast Ethernet Interface Modules and can provide uplinks to 100BASE-TX or 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet networks. There are also two HSIM slots that support optional High Speed Interface Modules (HSIMs) that provide additional connectivity to various networking technologies such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and Fiber Distribution Data Interface (FDDI).
