What is the switching performance?

The switch provides 96 Gbps total switch fabric capacity and 71.4 Mpps forwarding rate. It supports up to 8,000 MAC addresses with 2MB packet buffer, ensuring non-blocking wire-speed performance for enterprise traffic loads.

Does it support VLANs and how many?

Yes, it supports up to 64 port-based VLANs and 4096 VLAN tags per device. This enables network segmentation for security and traffic management, compatible with 802.1Q standards.

What management options are available?

Management includes web-based GUI (convertible via front-panel button), CLI, HTTP, RMON, SNMP, TFTP, and Telnet. Status LEDs on ports aid quick monitoring, suitable for both managed and basic web-managed modes.

What are the physical dimensions and form factor?

It is a 1U rack-mountable metal chassis measuring 17.3 in (W) x 8.9 in (D) x 1.7 in (H), weighing 8.16 lbs. This compact design fits standard 19-inch racks for efficient data center or closet installations.

What are the environmental specifications?

Operating temperature is 32° to 113° F with 10-90% non-condensing humidity; storage is -4° to 158° F and 10-95% humidity. Internal fixed AC 120V power supply ensures reliable performance in typical enterprise conditions.
