1Switch Description
This chapter includes these sections:
◆“System Overview” on page 9
◆“Key Technical Specifications” on page 11
System Overview
The ECS4110-28P is a Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2 switch with 24 10/100/1000BASE-T
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports, and four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP)
transceiver slots for fiber connectivity.
The switch also includes an SNMP-based management agent, which provides both
in-band and out-of-band access for managing the switch.
Power-over-Ethernet All of the 10/100/1000 Mbps ports on the switch support both the IEEE 802.3af and
IEEE 802.3at-2009 PoE standards that enable DC power to be supplied to attached
devices using wires in the connecting Ethernet cable.
