Customer Profile
• Primary Target Market: Small to midsize
Enterprise customers who are looking for a lower
cost high performance fixed port L3 switch for
desktop access or aggregation in the network core.
• Additional Target Markets: Large Enterprise
customers who require L3 connectivity for server
farms, aggregation points from wiring closets or
core routing for smaller remote offices. Any
Enterprise customer who will be implementing
bandwidth sensitive applications (VOIP,
Multimedia) which will require a high
performance solution that incorporates QoS,
wire speed routing and a low cost entry point.
Features and Benefits
Performance
• The Passport 1424T provides increased application
performance by enabling better bandwidth
utilisation and enhancing network performance.
The addition of QoS and L3 routing to a network
helps decrease latency, jitter and excess traffic
destined for a software router. QoS implemented
at the network edge allows traffic to be marked as
close to the application as possible, which enables
better utilisation of the network backbone.
Simplicity
• The Passport 1424T is a simple to use and maintain
network performance enhancer. With both web
based and SNMP management, the Passport 1424T
can be configured quickly with fewer errors. Fewer
errors enables faster implementation times and
fewer problems to troubleshoot. The Passport
1424T’s ability to classify traffic at the network
edge allows network administrators to set policies
based on traffic type which ensures that
applications who have special bandwidth
requirements will get the bandwidth they need.
Flexibility
• With 24 10/100 ports and 2 GBIC slots, the Passport
1424T provides enhanced connectivity for
workgroups and servers. The GBIC ports allow for
connectivity of single and multimode as well as SX
and LX connectivity. Multi-layer redundancy is
delivered by Multi-Link trunking capabilities that
provide multiple ports acting as one trunk and the
ability to participate in a Split Multi-Link
Trunk solution.

Passport 1424 Switch
Overview
The Passport 1424T is a fixed port L3 switch. The switch features 24 ports of 10/100 and two GBIC slots
(GBICs are ordered separately). Wire-speed routing and a non-blocking architecture provide the performance
required by today’s bandwidth sensitive applications. For applications that have even more stringent
requirements, four priority queues, with support for 802.1p and DiffServ, provide QoS within the network.
Reliability is maintained with Multi-Link Trunking support which allows a Passport 1424T to function as an
edge member of a SMLT solution. SNMP and Web management increase reliability and simplicity by providing
a simple way to configure and monitor the switch.
