Cajun P333T User’s Guide 1
Chapter 1
Overview
The Cajun™ P330 family of stackable Ethernet workgroup switches includes a
range of modules with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports and Layer 3 capability/ATM
Expansion sub-module in Phase 2. The first product is the Cajun P333T switch
which has 24x10/100 Mbps ports and an Expansion sub-module slot. The optional
expansion sub-modules provide additional Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity.
A Cajun P330 stack can contain up to 10 switches and up to 3 backup power supply
units. The stacked switches are connected using the Cajun X330STK stacking sub-
modules which plug into a slot in the back of the Cajun P330. They are connected
using the X330SC or X330LC cable (if the stack is split between 2 racks). The Cajun
X330RC cable connects the top and bottom switches in the stack and provides
redundancy and hot-swappability in the same way that modules can be swapped in
a modular switching chassis.
The Cajun P330 is fully compliant with IEEE standards for VLAN Tagging, Gigabit
Ethernet, Spanning Tree and Flow Control. This full standards-compliance,
combined with auto-negotiation for 10/100/1000 Mbps and half/full duplex
facilitates the expansion of your network to match your company's growing needs.
