1.2 About the Switch
The FGSW-2402VS offers 24 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports with 2 open slots (port25, 26). The two open slots can be
installed by optionally two of 1000Base-T port, 100Base-FX, or 1000Base- SX/LX fiber-optic interfaces. The distance can
be extended from 100 meters (TP), 2 kilometers (Multi-mode, ST or SC), up to 15 kilometers (Single-mode, SC). Also the
FGSW-2620VSF provides 24 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet ports and 2 Gigabit TP/SFP combo ports, the two Gigabit ports
either can be 1000Base-T for 10/100/1000Mbps or 1000Base-SX/LX through SFP (Small Factor Pluggable) interface. The
distance can be extended from 100 meters (TP), 550 meters (Multi-mode fiber), up to above 10/50/70/120 kilometers
(Single-mode fiber).
Both Web Smart Switches are equipped with non-blocking 8.8Gbps backplane greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading
your LAN to cater for increased bandwidth demands.
For efficient management, the Web Smart Switch is equipped with web interface. The two Web Smart Switches can be
programmed for basic switch management functions such as port speed configuration, Port Trunking, Port-based VLAN,
Port Mirroring, QoS, bandwidth control, Access Control list and Misc Configuration.
The Web Smart Switch provides port-based VLAN (including overlapping). The VLAN groups allowed on the 2 Web Smart
Switches will be maximally up to 26 for port-based VLAN. Via supporting port trunking, the Web Smart Switch allows the
operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. The Web Smart Switch provides seven groups of up to 8-ports for
trunking, and it supports fail-over as well.
With its Auto-Negotiation capability, all the RJ-45/STP ports of Web Smart Switch can be configured to speeds of
10/20Mbps or 100/200Mbps automatically. In addition, the product is equipped with the MDI/MDI-X auto detection for
