Product Features
Technical Overview
This switch operates at Layer 3, supporting static routing and dynamic routing protocols for efficient traffic management between VLANs and network segments. The eight Gigabit Ethernet ports provide IEEE 802.3at PoE+ compliance, delivering up to 30W per port to powered devices. The two SFP+ slots support 10GBase-X optical or direct-attach copper transceivers, enabling high-bandwidth uplinks to switches, routers, or servers.
Management is handled through a web-based GUI, CLI, or SNMP, offering granular control over QoS, security, monitoring, and configuration. The stack port allows multiple 2930F switches to be managed as a single logical unit, simplifying administration. Media support includes twisted pair cabling up to 100 meters and optical fiber via SFP+ modules, ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructure.
This section brings together practical product details such as Total Number of Network Ports, Uplink Port, Modular, Media Type Supported, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
