12 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCING THE SUPERSTACK 3 SWITCH 3812, SWITCH 3824, AND SWITCH 3848
About the Switch The Switch 3812, Switch 3824 and Switch 3848 units are
10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Switches which consist of either:
12 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports (Switch 3812) or
24 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports (Switch 3824) or
48 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports (Switch 3848)
and:
Four SFP ports
The highest four numbered RJ-45 ports are combination ports. When an
SFP module is inserted it has priority over the 10/100/1000 port of the
same number (9–12 on the Switch 3812, 21–24 on the Switch 3824, and
45-48 on the Switch 3848).
For information about using the software features of the Switch, refer to
the “Switch Management Interface Reference Guide” on the CD-ROM
that accompanies the Switch.
