Introduction
This chapter introduces the Enterasys 800-Series Fast/Gigabit Ethernet switches.
Overview
The Enterasys 800-Series Fast/Gigabit Ethernet switches are store and forward switches that can
be adapted and scaled to help meet your network requirements.
You can also use a redundant power supply with these switches to help prevent downtime due to
an internal power supply failure in the switch or AC power source.
You can install the switches on a flat surface or into a standard 19-inch rack, and configure the
switch functions using the Web User Interface, Command Line Interface commands, and/or
SNMP.
The Enterasys 800-Series switch can connect to Ethernet networks or workstations through RJ45
connectors, SFP ports, or Gigabit Ethernet ports, depending on your model’s configuration. The
SFP ports support optional pluggable transceivers, which are hot swappable.
For pluggable transceiver compatibility and specifications, refer to the datasheet at
http://www.enterasys.com/products/transceivers-ds.pdf.
Table 1-1 lists the number of ports and port types for the Enterasys 800-Series switches.
