ES-2108/ES-2108-G User’s Guide

Cluster management (also known as iStacking) allows you to manage switches through one switch, called the cluster manager. The switches must be directly connected and be in the same VLAN group so as to be able to communicate with one another.

•Configuration and Firmware Maintenance

You can backup or restore the switch configuration or upgrade the firmware on the switch.

1.3Hardware Features

This section describes the ports on the switch.

Ethernet Ports

The ports allow the switch to connect to another Ethernet devices.

Gigabit Ethernet Port

Avaliable on the ES-2108-G, the port allows the switch to connect to another WAN switch.

Mini-GBIC Slot

Install SPF transceivers in this slot to connect to other Ethernet switches at longer distances than the Ethernet port.

Console Port

Use the console port for local management of the switch.

1.4 Applications

This section shows a few examples of using the switch in various network environments.

1.4.1 Backbone Application

In this application, the switch is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.

The switch can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers directly to the switch’s port or connect other switches to the switch.

In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network, simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc.
