C1G124-24

The C1G124-24 (Figure 1-2) has several types of port connections, which include

twenty-four front panel RJ45 ports (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T compliant), and

four expansion slots for optional Mini-GBIC interface modules.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps fixed front panel ports can operate in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode, as determined by Auto-Negotiation.

On the C1G124-24, there are four additional slots labeled 21 through 24 for 1-Gbps fiber-optic connections via optional Mini-GBICs. However, the C1G124-24 can only support 24 slots. Using any or all of the four additional Mini-GBIC slots (21 through 24) automatically disables the same number of fixed RJ45 ports on a first-come, first-served basis during the system initialization process.

For example, connections made to Mini-GBICs in Mini-GBIC slot 21 and 23 before initializing the system, disables the fixed RJ45 ports 21 and 23. However, if connections are made after initialization, the Mini-GBIC connections are ignored and the fixed RJ45 ports 21 and 23 remain enabled.

The 10/100/1000 Mbps fixed front panel ports can operate in either half-duplex or full-duplex mode, as determined by Auto-Negotiation.

A single LED is provided for each port to indicate link status and activity. The LED is lit when there is a link, and flashes when there is traffic.

C1H124-24, C1H124-48 specifications

Enterasys Networks, a prominent player in the field of networking technology, has developed a range of innovative solutions tailored for modern enterprise demands. Among their offerings are the C1H124-48 and C1H124-24 switches, both designed to facilitate robust connectivity and superior network performance.

The Enterasys C1H124-48 is a 48-port Ethernet switch, designed to meet the needs of dense network environments. It supports a variety of Ethernet standards, making it versatile for different deployment scenarios. This model boasts advanced Layer 2 switching capabilities, ensuring that data packets are efficiently managed and routed within local networks. With support for Power over Ethernet (PoE), this switch can supply power to connected devices, such as IP phones and wireless access points, without the need for separate electrical wiring.

Conversely, the C1H124-24 is a 24-port variant that shares many features with its larger counterpart. It is ideal for smaller office environments or as part of a larger stack in complex installations. Both models support high throughput rates to handle heavy data traffic, ensuring seamless connectivity and minimal latency for end-users.

One of the key strengths of both switches is their integration of advanced security features. They support features such as VLAN tagging and Access Control Lists (ACLs), allowing network administrators to segment traffic and enforce strict security protocols. This is essential for protecting sensitive data and ensuring compliance with industry regulations.

In addition to security, the C1H124 models utilize cutting-edge technologies such as Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize critical network applications, ensuring that bandwidth-intensive tasks like video conferencing and cloud applications receive the necessary resources. This capability is vital in modern enterprises where operational continuity depends on reliable network performance.

Additionally, Enterasys Networks emphasizes ease of management with both models. They come equipped with intuitive management interfaces and support for network management protocols, allowing for straightforward monitoring and configuration. This reduces the administrative burden on IT staff and enhances operational efficiency.

In summary, the Enterasys Networks C1H124-48 and C1H124-24 switches are well-engineered solutions that cater to a variety of networking needs. With their comprehensive feature set, including PoE support, advanced security, QoS, and user-friendly management, they are positioned to enhance network performance and security in diverse organizational settings. The decision to adopt these switches can lead to significant improvements in connectivity and overall network efficiency.
