C1H124-48 and C1G124-24

The switch functions can be configured using the WebView™ applic ation, CLI switching commands, or SNMP.

Each device can be installed as a tabletop unit or installed into a standard 19-inch rack using the mounting hardware supplied with the rack.

The devices have power supply redundancy capability when connected to an optional external supply. If the resident power supply fails, the external power supply assumes the entire load of the device without interruption to network traffic. Each power supply supports its own ac input connection, which enables each power supply to be connected to a different ac power circuit for power source redundancy.

1.1.1Mini-Gigabit Interface Connectors (Mini-GBICs)

The Mini-GBIC installs into a slot to provide 1000BASE-SX or LX network connections. There are different Mini-GBICs that can provide various types of connectors, such as an MT-RJ connector, LC connector that supports single-mode fiber-optic cabling, or LC connector that supports single or multimode fiber-optic cabling. Refer to Table A-2for a list of supported Mini-GBICs.

1.2HALF-DUPLEX/FULL-DUPLEX AUTO-NEGOTIATION

The devices can auto-negotiate the ports’ mode of operation (half-duplex or full-duplex) between two devices according to IEEE 802.3 standards. During Auto-Negotiation, two devices automatically exchange information about their current operating mode. The Auto-Negotiation feature targets the maximum capability that can be reached between the two devices. For example, the devices can adjust to full-duplex operation when the device on the other end of the connection can also adjust from half-duplex to full-duplex. If the device on the other end of the connection can only operate in half-duplex mode, then the devices adjust to operate in half-duplex mode.

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.
