Overview

Feature Summary

The following are the Performance/Configuration and Management features supported on the NH2025-10 switch.

Performance/Configuration

∙24 switched 10/100Mbps ports and a dport to accommodate one of the following uplink modules:

−Single Gigabit Ethernet port (MM,SM)

−Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports (MM,SM)*

−8 10/100 auto-negotiation ports module

−2 100Base-FX ports (MM,SM)

∙The highest common port speed is automatically set when connecting any standard compliant (802.3u Auto-negotiation) network device or station.

∙Each 10/100Base port operates in half duplex mode, for shared networks, or in a dedicated full duplex link, running at up to 200Mbps.

∙All ports support auto-polarity detection and correction.

∙Store-and-Forward switching.

∙Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) provides effective packet loss protection under heavy load conditions, minimizing delays and retransmission of data, thus improving network performance.

∙Supports the creation of up to 64 Virtual LANs.

∙Supports the Inter-Switch VLAN tagging standard which enables the creation of multiple groups across the network (IEEE 802.1q).

∙MAC address table (up to 12K unicast entries).

∙Maximum wire speed throughput on all ports simultaneously.

∙Supports RMON (groups 1,2,3,9), Telnet for rapid fault detection and isolation.

∙Port Mirroring.

∙Spanning Tree Algorithm prevents broadcast loops

Management

∙Fully managed through the comprehensive NBase-Xyplex MegaVision Network Management System, or any SNMP-based management platform.

∙Extensive Command Line Interface (CLI) management provides out-of-band administration.

∙Supports NBase-Xyplex's private MIB, Ethernet MIB and bridge MIB. The status of each port is displayed by an LED on the front panel. This LED indicates active and link status.
