24 10/100 + 2G Web/SNMP SwitchXP-3242 is a high performance web-managedSNMP Layer 2 switch that provides users withswitched 24 10/100Mbps Ethernet and 2 Gigabitports. It is very suitable for a company to build anetwork, not only at the beginning phase, but alsoexpanding into the future. The SNMP managementand remote control capability, plus plenty of other functions, along with its high quality, makes foreasy and carefree use. The Gigabit module can either be copper or fiber media; it supports not only100M fiber modules, but also Gigabit modules, such as 10/100/1000M RJ-45 copper ports andGigabit fiber SC ports with 1000BASE-SX or 1000Base-LX, Gigabit RJ-45 plus GBIC ports, theseallow users to increase their network response time at gigabit speeds and with great flexibility. AnRS-232 serial port provides an easy way for installation and initial set-up.Non-blocking and maximum wire speed performance are designed on all switched ports, it not onlysupports Auto-Negotiation, but also AUTO-MDIX function on all switched 24 10/100M RJ-45ports and two Gigabit Copper ports no matter if in half or full duplex mode. These functions add tothe convenience, ease of use, and reduce the matching effort between straight and cross-over lineissues.The XP-3242 provides a convenient way to operate a layer 2 management through an Internetbrowser. User friendly pull-down manual makes learning how to use the XP-3242 easy. It’s alsoeasy to control and easy to monitor. The XP-3242 supports, not only traditional SNMP functions,but also RMON 1,2,3,9 groups for advanced network analysis.Uniquely, it supports both port-based VLAN and Tag-based VLAN to catch-up with the newapplications coming in the VLAN age. To increase bandwidth applications, it supports 7 groupswith up to 4 ports Trunk; and these trunk ports are with fair-over function to provide redundantback-up when one or some of the ports are in malfunction.Total front access design and fully LED status display also adds to the ease of installation,inspection and maintenance efforts at rackmount environments. In addition an extra LED displayreflects the fan status to help prevent over-heating issues, if the fan were to malfunction; thusadding to the protection of the unit and the investment.FEATURESz Non-blocking, full-line speed, store-and-forward, Max. packet length 1568 bytez Auto-Negotiation and Auto-MDIX on all 10/100/1000M copper portsz 24 10/100 RJ-45 ports, and 2 Gigabit port module with copper ports or fiber portsz 3M bit packet buffer and 1M bit control bufferz Up to 14K MAC entries and 4K VLAN entriesz Support flow control for both half- or full-duplex operationz Support Head-of-Line blocking preventionz Support broadcast storm filteringz Support port-based VLAN and 802.1Q tag-based VLANz Support 802.1v protocol-based VLAN classificationz Support 802.1x Authentication and Authorizationz Support IP Multicast, IGMP snoopingz Support 2-level priority queuing
