Introducing the Switch

Introducing the Switch

Throughout this manual, these switches will be referred to as the 2610

Switches and the 2610-PWR Switches.

■The 2610 Switches, has either 24 or 48 auto-sensing 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 ports with four Gigabit Uplink ports, two RJ-45 and two mini-GBIC (Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)) slots. For a list of supported mini-GBICs see page 2-17.

The RJ-45 Gigabit Uplink ports are auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T. These ports operate independently, they are not dual-personality.

The 2610-PWR Switches incorporate two additional features. These switches offer two types of power, one for switch AC operating power, and the other for Power over Ethernet (PoE) power:

■Power-over-Ethernet or PoE power - PoE technology allows IP telephones, wireless LAN Access Points and other appliances to receive power as well as data over existing LAN cabling, without needing to modify the existing Ethernet infrastructure. The 2610-PWR Switches are designed with an internal PoE power supply capable of providing 406 watts of PoE power (126 watts on the 2610-24/12PWR). All of the Switch 2610-PWR ports can provide up to 15.4 watts (or 7.5 watts if all 12 ports are used on the 2610-24/12PWR) of PoE power to connected devices.
