Dimension ES-3024 Ethernet Switch
Chapter 1
Getting to Know the ES-3024
This chapter describes the key features, benefits and applications of the ES-3024.
The ES-3024 is a stand-alone Ethernet switch with 24 10/100Mbps ports, two slots for electrical or optical uplink modules and one slot for a stacking module.
With its built-in web configurator, managing and configuring the switch is easy. From cabinet management to port- level control and monitoring, you can visually configure and manage your network via the web browser. Just click your mouse instead of typing cryptic command strings. In addition, the switch can also be managed via Telnet, the console port, or third-party SNMP management.
1.1 Features
The next two sections describe the hardware and firmware features of the ES-3024.
1.1.1Hardware Features
24 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Ports
Connect up to 24 computers or switches to the 10/100Mbps auto-negotiating, automatic cable sensing (auto-MDIX) Ethernet RJ-45 ports. All Ethernet ports support:
IEEE 802.3/3u/3z/3ab standards
Back pressure flow control in half duplex mode
IEEE 802.3x flow control in full duplex mode
Two Slots for Uplink Modules
The modules allow the ES-3024 to connect to another WAN switch or daisy-chain to other switches.
One Slot for Stacking Module
Up to eight switches may be stacked using stacking modules.
Console Port
Use the console port for local management of the switch.
Fans
The fans cool the ES-3024 sufficiently to allow reliable operation of the switch in even poorly ventilated rooms or basements.
