Introducing the Switch

These switches are designed to be used primarily in data center environments mounted in equipment racks along with the servers they are connected to. These switches can directly connect servers to other servers or backbone LANs to provide dedicated bandwidth to those devices, and can build a switched network infrastructure by connecting the switch to hubs, other switches, or routers. In addition, the Series 6600 Switches offer full network management capabilities.

This chapter describes the Series 6600 Switches, including:

■Front and back of the switches

■Network ports

■LEDs

■Switch features
