expansion slots (two Type IC35) can accept a wide range of Gigabit and 10/100 Mbps media modules:

• 10/100/1000BaseT

• 1000BaseX GBIC

• 1000BaseSX

1.3 Front and Back Panel Descriptions

Refer to the following sections for detailed descriptions of the front and back panels of the IntraCore 3500

series switches.

1.3.1 IC3524 Models

From left to right, the front panel contains the following: Power and port LEDs; 24 10/100 ports; 2 optional

module slots; and a console port.

The switch is field upgradeable for use with 100BaseeFX, 1000BaseSX, 1000BaseX GBIC or

10/100/1000BaseT modules.

The back panel (not shown) has only the AC socket.

1.3.2 IC3548-2GT

From the left to the right, the 3548 switch’s front panel contains the power LED and 2 exchanging LEDs; a

push button display mode converter; 48 10/100 ports, each with its own indicator light; and 2 Gigabit ports

(capable of using either the GBIC expansion ports [for fiber and copper GBICs] OR the 10/100/1000BaseT

Gigabit Ethernet ports), each with its own indicator light.

From left to right, the back panel (shown below) contains: a console port; a 12V DC jack for an external

power supply (IC35-RPS12, US part number 99-00777-01, sold separately); an AC socket (for primary

power) and a power switch.

1.4 Management and Configuration

There are three different methods by which a user can manage the switch: web, console/telnet, or with

SNMP software. You may prefer using a web browser to be able to configure the switch from any local or

remote computer, via the network, or you may wish to use a console for out-of-band management. SNMP is

an advanced management application, and is mostly automatic, giving you the information without having to

go through an interface step by step (Note: The switch is shipped with BootP support. See Appendix F for

more information on setting up BootP).

Table 1-4 Out-of-Band and In-Band Management

Method Type Description

Console Out-of-Band

Management Local connection to the switch via the

console port
